The DT version of the "Old Settler's Song or Acres of Clams"
filename[ OLDSETLR
has no chorus, no attribution, and no punctuation. You may want to substitute the version I posted here (click)

Just a tiny correction in "Frozen Logger"
filename[ FROZLOGR

Second stanza:

Please note the spelling of the name of Mudcatter/Songwriter Anne Lister. It's spelled "Ann" in two songs in the DT:

Oklahoma Hills - filename[ OKLAHILL
Slight change in the first verse, second-last line, should be: There are a number of other parts one could quibble about, but this one doesn't make sense, just because of that missing article. Oh, and while you're at it, you may want to standardize the format on the chorus instead of just having "cho:"

AZEKATARLE - filename[ AZEKTRLE seems to be a nonstandard spelling of the song title. A Google search for AZEKATARLE brings up only information that is derived from the Digital Tradition. I found four recordings, including one by Pete Seeger, that spell it Asikatali. The English group Blue Murder spell it Azicatal. I think I'd list "Asikatali" as the primary song title, and include the others in the notes to facilitate searching.


Bluebeard - filename[ BLUBEARD

I added songwriter and source attribution and made several small corrections in this post.

For the song BORDERLINES, filename[ BORDERLN :
The daughter of one of the songwriters posted corrected lyrics in this message (click)



For the song titled "Finlandia" in the DT
filename[ FINLNDIA
There are a few spelling errors, so I posted a corrected version at the bottom of this message (click).

Masato posted corrected lyrics to "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in this message (click)
The DT version has several mondegreens and other mistakes.
