Quite a few of the entries in the DT database don't have tunes because they're not songs - they're monologues or similar non-sung pieces. A quick trawl has revealed the following but there may be more: ALBLION - ALBERT AND THE LION ALBLION2 - ALBERT'S RETURN ALBERTRE - ALBERT'S REUNION AMPIE2 - AMERICAN PIE--PROGRAM NOTES BTTLHAST - BATTLE OF 'ASTINGS, THE BATTHAST - BATTLE OF HASTINGS, THE WORKHOUS - CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE WORKHOUSE DECKCARD - DECK OF CARDS DEEDNTAL - DEED OF ENTAIL EILAROO.NOT - EILEEN AROON NOTES ESKNELL - ESKIMO NELL (Amalgamated) GRNWALE.NOT- GRANNY WALE NOTES GRNRUSH4 - GREEN GROW THE RUSHES (COMMENTARY): JUBSOV - JUBILEE SOVEREIGN LRYGRGN.NOT - LARRY GROGAN NOTES FYVINOTE - Notes for Bonnie Lass of Fyvio/Peggy of Darby/ SAMSMLLM - SAM, SAM, PICK UP THA MUSKET XMASPDNG - SAM SMALL'S CHRISTMAS PUDDING HAPNCEFTAL - THREE HA'PENCE A FOOT Then there are plenty where the tune are in the DT, but another song or version. For instance yesterday I posted the ABC for The Fireship, but now I find it's also there as [FIRESHI2 The Roving Kind. So one tune kills two blanks. Likewise I sent Dick the tune for Beauty of Kashmir, but it's also in DT as [ROBBERS Come Fill Up Your Glasses, and as [CNDLFRD The Candleford Anthem, and Off to Dublin in the Green is also [JOLLPLO3 The Ploughboy (Warwickshire RHA) and [DUBLNGRN The Merry Ploughboy And there are 16 variants of Streets of Laredo in the DT with no tune listed - but the tune is already there: LAREDS11 - THE BAD GIRL'S LAMENT LAREDST6 - THE BALLAD OF BLOODY THURSDAY LAREDS14 - THE GIRL IN THE DILGER CASE LAREDS17 - I ONCE WAS A CARMAN IN THE BIG MOUNTAIN CON LAREDS18 - THE LINEMAN'S HYMN LAREDS10 - NOO I'M A YOUNG MAN CUT DOWN IN MY PRIME LAREDS12 - ONE MORNING IN MAY LAREDST9 - PILLS OF WHITE MERCURY LAREDS16 - ST. JAMES HOSPITAL LAREDS15 - THE STREETS OF LOREDO LAREDS20 - A SUN VALLEY SONG LAREDST7 - THE TROOPER CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME LAREDST5 - THE UNFORTUNATE RAKE LAREDS19 - THE WILD LUMBERJACK LAREDST8 - THE YOUNG SAILOR CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME YNGMNPRM - YOUNG SAILOR CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME There must be many more, especially parodies, where the tune is already there but not linked to the song in question Finally, although the tune is originally English, I feel it should be a US 'Catter who posts the tune for [STARSPAN THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER, which will also clear up these two [ANACRON2 ANACREONTIC SONG (2), and [ANCREON TO ANACREON IN HEAVEN Wassail!
