Yes, I began by talking about having complete songs in an archive, but on thinking it over I have gotten myself whittled down to the "one verse and chorus" concept.

And that's precisely because I do NOT want to steal from artists, record companies, or record sellers (a tip of the hat to Dick Greenhaus and CAMSCO). I want all these guys to get their fair cut.

Guess I am hoping some middle ground can be achieved whereby the part of the song (or instrumental) that's provided is both helpful to the singer-picker-learner and ALSO a potentially sales-boosting promo for artist, company and record dealer.

I do recognize problems of economics, bandwidth and file size, etc. Hence I think of a starter archive as being quite small: nowhere near the number of songs DT has achieved. That seems to be the model other sites have used: something like 100 songs to begin with, say, drawn from the better (I won't say best 'cause value judgments differ) authentic traditional singers. Just as a start. Just as a way to showcase tradition for those who don't know it, let's say. No more than that.

Then see where it goes from there. Granted, my original idea was The Moon. Now I'm more like looking for Near Earth Orbit.
