MystMoonstruck Ballad of Davy Crockett (74* d) RE: Ballad of Davy Crockett 05 Sep 07


I just came back from reading about how to post lyrics, and I'm so confused. It might take several more readings before I understand. Perhaps it's the ADHD with a heavy dose of fibrofog, but I am very confused by some of the "computerese". I see HTML, for example, but have no idea what it means. I think I know how to make a link. If I place a link to the song above, would I just use the address at the top of my screen as the link? I hadn't seen any lyrics with the "Lyr Add:", so I wasn't aware I should use that.

I shall try very hard to follow rules. If I oops, it isn't from carelessness or that I don't care. I count myself fortunate to have found this site. I'm a newbie to the Net but not to the music. By the time I was in my early teens in the Sixties, I was gathering songbooks, making my own songbooks with the help of my keyboard organ (later double keyboard as I continued my studies), and buying albums (no cassettes yet). Work in a factory put an end to my organist skills when I developed severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in both hands and arms (affects me up to the shoulders). Guitar was out and the pennywhistle, too. Then, about eight years ago at Bristol Renaissance Faire (near Kenosha, Wisconsin), I splurged and bought a bowed psaltery, inspiring me to learn many of the songs I had collected. It was while I was hunting for songbook contents that I found my way here. The "Mudcat" caught my attention then the thread for "Davy Crockett"--this one. My enthusiasm got the best of me. I apologize--which I expect to do a lot. Maybe this site will help me find where those other stanzas came from.
