Subject: RE: DTStudy: A Proposal
Sounds great to me. DigiTrad started out with two things in mind: 1, to develop the world's best songbook, and 2. to provide a record of what people are singing (NOT just listening to.)

I've been providing attributions when I have them, and adding whatever notes I'm capable of adding, but it would be wonderful to have some pooled info and expertise to bear on the process.

BTW, attribution --especially as to who originated the song--is very difficult. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try, it just means that we should be careful. Copyrights are often misleading and often flat-out lies; so are record notes. On the more cheerful side, DigiTrad has been--and will be--under continuous review, and is open-ended for addenda, corrections, attributions and whatever.
