If the Digital Tradition of a song is lacking, let's take care of it. Jeff has worked up a new system that makes it easy for the clones and me to mark songs for harvesting. If there are versions of a song posted that are particularly significant, let me know. Maybe we can put them in bold type, or something. Sooner or later, we hope to make the harvested lyrics available for publidc review and comment, before they are entered into the Digital Tradition. That way, maybe the lyrics in the DT will be more accurate and have better documentation.
If you look at song threads in the Forum, I think you can see that we've come a long way since 1996. Wonderful people like Malcom and Masato and Q and Bruce Olson and Stewie and many others have given us some great information.
Now, if somebody has a Sandy Paton Elektra LP they can burn onto a CD for me, I'd be eternally grateful. I am, like, a HUGE Sandy Paton fan.

Are we agreed that Jeri's Carthy version is good, and that Malcolm's Lloyd version is a good transcription?
