Thread Name: Database Question...
Subject: RE: Database Question...
Scotty,

I will try to answer your question as best I can to save Dick G. (the Database master) some time. Twice a year, roughly Spring and Fall, the Digital Tradition Database is upgraded with new material. The majority of this material comes from postings on the threads as you have surmised. However, there is some editorial decision making about which songs get posted. For instance, a recent Def Leppard song was posted in another thread and I am confident it will not go into the Database.

Since this process is not instantaneous, we at the Mudcat Cafe Discussion Forum suggest you search both the DT and the threads. For some reason, it seems frequent that a lyric request coming in has been addressed in a recent thread. In his second April Fool's joke Max said he was going to automate this process so if you titled a thread "Snowjob" any DT postings and any forum threads that addressed it would be given to you. What a laugh! That Max! He sure is a kidder :). Can you imagine that? LOL ROFLAMO!!!!
