Thread Name: Songs of Nanci Griffith
Subject: RE: Songs of Nanci Griffith
On one thread for all the songs of one songwriter, or separate threads for each song, I think if you consider folks will likely know who wrote it or the name of the song, I don't know. I get that there are "Nanci Griffith" songs that she didn't write, but is known for. From a Distance was by Julie Gold, but I don't think there's more than one.
And I have no clue who's harvesting the "LYR ADD" songs, or if anyone is, or anything is added to the DT.
For now, the Digital Tradition is frozen as Dick Greenhaus left it, and it might well stay that way. I'm working on indexing songs in the Forum in a different manner, the Origins threads for traditional threads. I've been bugging Max for years to build a similar "Songwriter" database in the same format, and I've been gathering the data and formatting lyrics for that database for years.
