Thanks Arthur. Interesting to me that some of the ancient ballads Sharp collected in the Appalachians are supposed to be older versions than those collected in the UK. The premise for this is that passing folksongs down through family tradition persisted until industrialization. When country folks moved into factory jobs and aspired to a more affluent lifestyle, they often discarded their folk culture. As one commentator put it, "They're trying to act rich before they have any money." So they wanted to embrace opera and other high-brow music styles and disassociate themselves from their commoner past. This had an effect on the ballad tradition. In parts of the Appalachians the descendants of British Isles ancestors who settled there sometimes lived pre-industrial lifestyles even into the 1940s. Sharp and Kerpeales were there in 1916. Most residents of the UK were affected by industrialization at a much earlier date. This is the theory, at least. Thanks again, Tom
