I'm a new user of the net and was unsuccessful at sending this 
to Roger Hayes directly. Hope the rest of you find it to be
moderately informative, and not too inaccurate.

Some mail order houses you might be interested in are:

Elderly Instruments
1100 N. Washington
P.O. Box 14210
Lansing, Michigan 48901
- (definitely the least expensive and best stocked)

Andy's Front Hall
RFD 1, Wormsville Rd.        or    Drawer A
Voorheesville, NY 12186            Voorheesville, NY 12186
- (I have a conflict on addresses here - both are > 2 yrs. old.
   Don't know which (if either) is correct)

Down Home Music, Inc.
10341 San Pablo Avenue
El Cerrito, CA 94530
- (The records tend to be more expensive, sometimes significantly so,
   but they provide reviews of new records - and old - and provide
   a lot of information in case you are trying a new type of music.
   I subscribe to their monthly newsletter even though I  don't normally
   order records through them. The news letter comes free if you order
   from them every now and then. They do have a habit of being able
   to supply records that you can't find elsewhere.)

Classical Westport
Mail Order Department
4130 Pennsylvania
Kansas City, MO 64111

June Appal Recordings
P.O. Box 743
Whitesburg, Kentucky 41858
- (a record label which specializes in Appalachian Music, but covers
   many styles of American Folk. In particular they provide information
   on the artists and the records which are not usually available
   from the mail order catalogs.)

Lark in the Morning
Box 1176
Mendocino, CA 95460
- (primarily a folk instrument dealer, they also sell records mail order,
   and have an interesting catalog.)

Green Linnet Records, Inc.
70 Turner Hill Road
New Canaan, CT 06840
- (another record label, concentrating on Celtic Folk. Rereleases many
   records originally released in the UK/Ireland)

Much of my information originally came from the radio program
"Ballads, Bards, and Bagpipes", recorded in Kansas City.
(Try P.O. Box 12522  Kansas City, MO 64116 , given that the radio
program still exists and this address is still good, and
ask for a copy of their discography)

The following three places are from a list put out by the
San Francisco Folk Music Club (in their 1984 Directory), and
I have not dealt with any of them. They all appear to be
record labels that provide catalogs and will sell direct 
(via mail order).

Folkways Records
43 West 61st St.
New York, NY 10023

Greenhays Recordings
7A Locust Ave.
Port Washington, N.Y. 11050

King Mule Records
P.O. Box 158
Alderpoint CA 94511
