I'm a newbie to computers and the Net. I've had my laptop since spring of last year but didn't have the courage to go on the Net until much later. I admit that I haven't done much "surfing" since the vastness of the Internet is very intimidating.

I don't recall the particular search I launched, but it might have been "traditional music" as I was searching for contents of various songbooks. At first, I wasn't certain what I had found, so I did a bit of exploring. What really captured my interest was finding lyrics that come close to a song my maternal grandfather used to sing. But, his "Davy Crockett" has much more, stanzas that I've been researching for many years with admittedly limited resources. Now that I have the Net, perhaps I can make some headway.

After listening to the poor-quality recording I have from the Seventies, I deciphered most of Daddy Claude's lyrics though, unfortunately, some words are drowned out by background noise.

I've been doing as much reading as I can during each visit to learn more about this site. Bear with me as I make some newbie mistakes. I'm a stranger in the very strange land of the Net.
