WELCOME TO THE 'CAT!!!

The "Digital Tradition" Folksong database has been around for a long time (pre-Mudcat) and is now tied in with the forum and the Mudcat site. The "DT" is ownwed and operated by Dick Greenhaus (also owns Camsco Records now) and HE is the man to address your situations too. How corrections are generally made is this:

Write up your correction with the changes and the new lyrics and whatever additional info. The lyrics should be done in line break html format (a joeclone can fix it if you are still learning html). Start a thread titled, LYRICS CORRECTION-(Name of Song). Dick and Susan or a helper will "harvest the thread" and make the changes in the DT. There are plenty of others that have a problem or are missing verses and we try to add/change/delete info as often as possible. Due to the backload of info available, it may take up to a year to get the stuff IN the DT.....But having it on the forum will work by itself since a search will pull info from the DT and the forum. The DT now contains about 9000 songs so it is quite a job and overall, you can't beat the way it works. But I know of what you speak....Just add the changes as I suggested and eventually it'll come together.

I don't envy Dick, ts a daunting job and at this point, a lot of folks are working at writing the programs for midi-tunes to be with each song and they are really a bummer to do....You'll find some are not great, but its being worked on all the time....Its a work in progress and now YOU are part of the process.

Again, welcome to the 'Cat........
