Hmmm I might have to look into that. $15 for the CD isn't half bad. Thanks for the post Hester

I love Folkways collections HUZZAH MOE ASCH!! I have been collecting Folk music of all kinds for many many years and would not have half the collection I do if it weren't for the Smithsonian and Folkways.

I'll have to look at the song list.

If your interested in great folk music from all times and styles there is a Smithsonian Folkways Podcast on iTunes.

here's the address to subscribe to the Podcast:

While not vocal, you may find The Chieftain's Film Cuts of interest. It includes the music from Treasures Island 1990, perhaps the best Treasure Island ever done, IMHO.

A product of having entirely too much time on me hands I fear. :angry:

And I am very glad I found the Pub. It is a wealth of information on many subjects.
