Thread Name: Moonshine songs
Subject: RE: Moonshine songs
Sometimes we forget to give credit to what must be the World's Largest Folk Songbook, our very own Digital Tradition. I cringe a bit when people direct readers to folk lyrics at Olga and 8notes and Yet Another Digital Tradition and other sources, which are often merely out-of-date mirrors of what we have here. A DT Keyword Search for "Moonshine" comes up with only five songs: but wait!!!- there's more.
Sometimes, our search engines do a better job on the DT than the keywords search, although you fill find some 'false positives' in the search results. A search for "poteen" brings up a nice list: A search for "mountain dew" brings up four songs: A search for "moonshiner" brings up three: ...and there's lots under "Moonshine": Here's one that was posted in the forum, but hasn't made it to the DT yet: The Booze Yacht.
Say, I wonder what the numbers mean in the search results....
