 * [] || The City of Albuquerque Library system surprisingly has a pretty good collection of music on cd if you are looking for some. ||
 * [] || This is a list of digital music sources I stumbled across while looking through the Henry Reed Clifftop Festival page. It is amazingly helpful. ||
 * [] || The Fiddlers Companion has a huge list of songs and helps teach a fiddler how to play them. ||
 * [] || The Folk Song Index an Oberlin College Libraries and Sing Out! collaboration has a fairly nice collection and some neat stuff. I highly recommend typing in an old time favorite, and seeing what comes up and then what is in the rest of the book. ||
 * [] || If you want to know what children are being taught take a look at the refresher that teachers are given to read prior to teaching a unit. If you look on the left hand column of this page there are links to several more specific parts about folk music. Some is actually pretty educational. ||
 * [] || American Folklore contains many folktales, which sometimes when told make some of the songs make more sense. However, there are also some songs listed in verse form here. Enjoy! ||
