Hello everyone!  I've just become a senior here at Reed and I
want to write my bachelor's thesis on folk music.  The plan
outlined in my thesis prospectus (I'm a history-literature
major) is to trace the changes in particular folk ballads
geographically and temporally (i.e., follow a song across the
Atlantic, or through several generations of variants over  the
years).  If anyone out there has any interest in this sort of
study, or knows someone who does, I would *love* to hear from
you over the summer, or next year.  Thanks!
