More on the music ~ if you're looking for the most popular tunes

irishtune.info ~ Most-Recorded Tunes
The Top 100 Tunes of the Century ~ based on the records in the author's collection
http://www.irishtune.info/top-tunes/

This list ranks the top 100 most-recorded tunes on the indexed recordings. By carefully comparing the 11,734 individual tune recordings there, I identified a total of 4,434 distinct tunes, from which this list is drawn. The tunes below are ranked in descending order of number of recordings. When tunes have the same number of recordings, tunes having the oldest recordings appear first. Note that reuses of a particular cut in later anthologies are counted, which is fair, since the popularity of a recording is a good indicator both of the popularity of the tune and of the likelihood that musicians will learn the tune from that recording.

Re: Help with Links site,

What are you, the model? I can see it now. I guess there's an advantage to being blind as a bat. You can take your glasses off and not have to see all those artists doing their interpretations of Jim the fiddler. Hey, do you get to fiddle while they paint? :-D
