Here's a quick question from the Philosophy Dept from the University of Woolloomooloo! I comb throughs lots of published books searching for tunes that are missing from the Digital Tradition database. In the average book of 100 songs there might be 70 that are already completely covered by the DT, 5 for which the DT has lyrics and no music, plus a further 30 that aren't in the DT at all.

On the rare occasions that I actually know one of these 30 songs I would of course submit it, but my attitude to date has been to ignore these, preferring to be lead by other Mudcatters submitting the lyrics first, presumably because they regard them as having some merit for further circulation.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what should be harvested? There's at least another 8,000 songs out there which could be contributed!

Regards, John
