Thread Name: Lyr Add: Captain Jack and the Mermaid (Meg Davis)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Captain Jack and the Mermaid
It isn't always easy to find things, but in this case the "Digitrad and Forum Search" found all the threads I listed when asked for captain jack. I often put cross-references in threads; it isn't intended to discourage anyone (unless they're long-standing regulars who ought to know better) but rather to make it easier for other people to find relevant information in the future.
As a rule I also explain how I found the other stuff, but in this case Finny very sensibly asked about posting lyrics in another thread, and was referred to the FAQ and advised always to do a search first, so I felt confident that he would not be confused or worried by my contribution.
Be welcome, Finny, and contribute to the growing resource we have here; please always identify your sources, though, so that people know what's what. The more background information you can provide, the better, really; and of course a song is incomplete without its tune, particularly when it's a modern one and unfamiliar to most people.
There's also useful advice about posting tunes in the FAQ; as a rule, it's best to do it in the simplest form possible, but there are lots of ways round it. If you can't handle notation yet, make MMario do it for you!
