Bad luck, Bob!

But it looks that the move of the static pages to the new site went quite straightforward so far. Thanks for your hard word over all the years - the Traditional Ballad Index is a ressource I would severely miss.

By the way, my site Mainly Norfolk is 10 year old this month at its current location, after it was running for 17 years at my university. At least they told me to go away and didn't just delete the contents.

And Stilly, the Internet Archive is a great source for stuff that is really gone. Bob still has all his contents, though, so he "only" had/has to put it at a new place and probably re-work the search function (which wouldn't work in the Internet Archive anyway).
