Gee, I'm surprised nobody answered yet!

If you have web access, look at
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/minstrel.html, there is a good article on
period story-telling sources and a bunch of stuff about musical
sources, such as a bibliography, some midi and lyrics of period stuff,
a ton of lyrics filked to modern tunes, etc. Do you read music?
