Back to the original...

I'm an amateur researcher. Well, prob'ly almost all of those who do are amateurs, but I'm REALLY amateur.

I'll hazard a guess that what I do is the smaller version of what the real pros do - if you want background, you research your background sources. Then, you contact your real sources. Due to the blurring of time, memory, and print, more often than not between the two lies the truth.

Oh yeah... and realize some songs just are. Period. No amount of research is EVER gonna dig 'em up.
