I have used the Digital Tradition database several times a week since 1992, and many times a day since I started serious folk music research a couple of years ago. It's an old friend that I know very well, and it's a friend I'm very proud to know. In using the Digital Tradition and contributing to it, I've met singers from all over the world and learned the fascinating stories behind many of the songs. I've worked as a Digital Tradition volunteer for the last year, processing lyrics and melodies that are submitted to the database. It's one of the most interesting jobs I've ever had.
