Do you have or know of any recordings of any of these songs? Send me the link. Alternatively, can you get hold of a microphone and some software to produce audio files? Sing me any of these and send the file; I can convert it to mp3 for download easily enough. Please be aware that I will be making the recording available on a CD if I ever get a complete-enough set of songs, and of course they’ll be here on the web site too, always with full attribution.
