Many songs mentioned in this edition are spelled slightly differently in OSC. This list may assist the reader in finding in OSC and other sources the songs discussed in this edition. In the endnotes I have often cited currently available CDs (and LPs) of recordings transcribed and mentioned.
The list below contains only those songs appearing in this final edition. Every song on this list, with the exception of five (Au Long de ce Rivage, The Buffalo Skinners, Washington the Great, The Raving Shanty Boy, Drop ‘em Down) appears in OSC. There are other songs, some of which appeared in OSC, and some of which did not, which are mentioned in sections of αand LC47, but not incorporated into this edition.
