Actually it turns out that I was quite wrong about the MacEdward Leach website. They changed URL a while back, and my bookmark was out of date; so I ran a search for 'Handsome Harry' in order to save time. This, as it turned out, was a mistake. I wound up not at the page on their site, but at the equivalent page on GEST's site. He, of course, had also noticed their error and corrected it. Not knowing that anybody had mirrored the file, I assumed that I was where I thought I would be, and looked no further.

The 'official' site still contains the ludicrous mistake described (and, no doubt, many others). Sadly, their message stating 'If you have further information about any of the songs or singers on this website, we would love to hear from you' appears to be no more than empty words. Clearly they will ignore any such communication. The site is of value, then, only as a source of raw material; its commentaries cannot be trusted.

Admittedly, the DT contains even more such egregious errors and is even more slow to correct them; but it is run by a very small number of amateurs, using an (effectively) obsolete database format that can't be modified piecemeal. The Leach site, on the other hand, belongs to a (presumably) reputable university and is (presumably) maintained by professionals; they have no such excuse, and ought thoroughly to be ashamed of the shoddy 'scholarship' they are promoting.
