Abstract
on CD Series. Various. It's Time for Another One: Folk Songs from South Coast of Newfoundland; Folklore of Newfoundland and Labrador: Sampler of Songs, Narrations, and Tunes; Saturday Nite Jamboree. By Research Centre for Study of Music, Media and Place, Memorial University of Newfoundland CDs, 2005, 2006, 2007 (available www.landwashdistribution.com) Newfoundland and Labrador has long been recognized for its rich oral traditions, including song, music, and narrative. This province has attracted many folksong and folklore collectors, including MacEdward Leach, Maud Karpeles, Kenneth Peacock, Margaret Bennett and others. Popular books featuring region's folksongs, such as Gerald Doyle's Old-Time Songs and Poetry of Newfoundland, have been source of songs for contemporary Newfoundland bands, such as Great Big Sea, Fables, Navigators, and Rawlins Cross. However, it is difficult to hear songs, tunes, and stories as first recorded by collectors--unless, that is, you are prepared to listen to them in an archive, such as Memorial University of Newfoundland Folklore and Language Archive (MUNFLA). But now there is a series of CDs being produced by Research Centre for Study of Music, Media and Place (MMaP) at Memorial University, in conjunction with MUNFLA, which aims to make rare and currently inaccessible Newfoundland music available to a broader public. Back on Track archival series currently consists of three CD recordings: It's Time for Another One: Folk Songs from South Coast of Newfoundland (2005); Folklore of Newfoundland and Labrador: Sampler of Songs, Narrations, and Tunes (2006); and Saturday Nite Jamboree (2007). In this review essay, I consider each recording individually as well as series as a whole. It's Time for Another One: Folk Songs from South Coast of Newfoundland presents field recordings from South Coast of Newfoundland recorded by Jesse Fudge in 1968 during his Christmas vacation from Memorial University where he was studying English and Folklore. Fudge himself grew up in area. Many of local songs are not well-known elsewhere in Newfoundland or mainland North America. Although community was not so isolated as to not have access to broadsides and popular songs, they composed many of their own songs. Some local compositions have not appeared elsewhere in print, such as The First of October, A Cold December Day, My Brother John and I, Long Pond, and We're Mighty Glad to See You. Other local songs, including Taking Gear in Night, Squarin' Up Time, and Penny Fair in Cove, have variants in published collections such as Peacock's Songs of Newfoundland Outports (1965), Lehr's Come and I Will Sing You: Newfoundland Songbook (1985), and Doyle's Old Time Songs of Newfoundland (1955). Yet other tracks are variants of songs originating from outside area, such as Lather and Shave, a mid nineteenth century comic Irish-American song, and On Banks of Clyde, an Irish ballad on a common broadside theme. Unfortunately, while liner notes carefully document known printed versions of CD's songs, there is no information whether any of these songs have been recorded commercially. unique feature of this CD is inclusion of rearrangements of three of songs by local musicians and producers. Beverley Diamond, CD coproducer and author of liner notes, writes that the 'new' versions were commissioned explicitly to present several views about meanings of tradition and modernity. liner notes include explanations for each performer's interpretation. For example, well-known Newfoundland folk singer Jim Payne explains that he wanted to foreground story of comic smuggling song, The First of October. He therefore kept close to original version, sung by Robert Langdon, except for addition of acoustic guitar accompaniment. …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
