The Songs
When the project was first mooted a few years ago and discussed with A.L.Lloyd the subject of notes to the songs came up. " I would probably
only repeat what I'd put in the book," he replied. With that in mind we refer you to the extensive notes in the book and here, merely, list the sources:
