Ron,
A while back I asked about the above ballad on Yahoo's frikurs group.
After a delay due to some technical hitch, Pyt Kramer has posted some
jpg scans of the ballad in the group's file section. I'm not sure about
file posting on this group, but maybe you'd like me to forward them to
you (6 files ranging from 44KB to 185KB) or else you can access them
yourself at the group. Don't ask me to transcribe them, my knowledge of
Frisian is close to nil so I'd probably make too many mistakes.

Thanks a lot, David!  That's very kind of you.

You can send them to my private address (sassisch at yahoo.com), and I'll see
what I can do with them to make them accessible to others.  The material may
be of interest to quite a few people on the List.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
