Megan,

I am sorry about your mom's illness. Mine just passed on this January.

I did a little bit of a search for you, but had trouble with my computer, so here's what you can do:

go to the top of this page and look in the right hand corner. You will see, in red letters, "search the digitrad database". enter your song titles or phrases in the search box and see what comes up. If you type in going home there are many with that phrase that come up. I got as far as #43, which might be the one you are looking for, entitled, "Feel Like Going Home", and also, #28, "Christ Was a Traveler". They are in alphabetical order and for some reason my computer couldn't connect any more pages. I will try again later.

Also, if you do not find them there, go to the main page of the Mudcat and click on "links" which is in kind of the middle, towards the left of the page, listed with a bunch of other things. That has many places to look, including the Lester B. Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins U. Their database consists of popular American sheet music from 17something to the 1960's.

Sorry you didn't have any luck on your other postings. The Mudcateers are great people and really helped me through a really tough time. I am sure between all of us we can help you and if not, it won't be for lack of trying.

Fare well and blessed be,
