Ever see that film "Songcatcher" about a female Victorian academic who goes off and spends several months in the Appalachian mountains collecting ballads.


No, never seen it, but reminds me of one of my lecturers at Stirling University.
She based part of her PHD on old uncredited Ballads and how they are translated into song. Might sound as intellectually redundant as some of the new Mastermind topics (;-)), but she had a hell of a lot of history to plow through and she studied the whole tradition from both here and the US.
I only studied with her briefly as she was taking us through part of a module we had to do.
Miss those times I do:-(
