Sally - of four postings to MC.

For decent research postings consult the Mudcat's FAQ

As a general rule, follow the bullet points of journalism; the most important segment is what YOU know as FACT:
What is the song? (First Line)
Where you were at the first encounter (Geographic global local)
Who? (The song singer and you)
When (Date - time - event)
Why/How (a little personal information why you were there)

Later you may add commentary - such as "Three reasons I believe this is of slave origins." (Irish, South African, Russian - what SORT of "slave" economic, society, feudal?)

Sincerely,
