Subject: RE: DigiTrad used for linguistic research
As to accuracy, mentioned by both Jim and Joe, I can attest, having had access to the original sheet music, that the phrase in True Blue Bill is not riot corn, but rye and corn. For whatever reason, the version I posted didn't make it into the digitrad, but you can find it here, just scroll down a bit. Jon's version was from memory, and a whole lot better than I could ever have done, and as an ORAL version which has been handed down has a lot of value, but I would recommend that the version I gave be added as well. (Bill can now check me to see if I made any mistakes, too!)
