The Digital Tradition is a not-for-profit, not-for glory compendium of folk and folkish songs, in searchable digitized format. It represents the work of literally hundreds of contributors. The DT is not copyrighted, and can be used by anyone for anything. On the other hand, many of the songs in the collection ARE copyrighted, whether or not we know by whom. Anyone using the Digital Tradition as a source is hereby warned that the fact that a song is included here does not convey the rights to anyone else (we have a hundred or so composers/writers who have granted us-- and no-one else--permission to include their material. The initials are included only to permit the DT custodians to contact contributors; I wouldn't feel right divulging them without specific permission. If anything is initialed RG, feel free to attribute it to me; I make no claim to being an authority, though, so the notes are generally my condensation of the notes of those better informed than I. Oh yes--The DT is not restricted to the WWW. We distribute copies (on disk, in Mac and PC formats) at no charge. We only ask that requesters supply formatted disks (4 HD) and a stamped, self-addressed mailer.
