Subject: RE: Help: Who corrects the DT??
I appreciate the efforts of DT to keep the lyrics database going, and all the grassroots efforts on Mudcat to support it.

But to be quite honest, it has become pretty inaccurate, which can be a real liability if one isn't careful about checking the sources, etc. My solution: I tend to do "quick checks" in DT, but go on to other more reliable sources, both on-line and off, especially for songs with known authors.

Andy has a wonderful songbook, the best I've seen published by a folkie of their own stuff. It includes Ramblin Rover Clinton! It can be purchased on-line at Chivalry Music here:
