Gee, I hadn't noticed that this thing had grown so big. George and Kat, if you want to turn it into a PermaThread, let me know. We'll start a new thread and designate it as an edited PermaThread, and draw the information from this one and maybe close this one off.

The straight compression will be a great help. Searches for origins repeat and repeat. No need for comments in the listing (unless something obviously confusing shows up).
Wonderful, Kat!

Kat, could all your a-z compilation go to one thread, and our submissions, necessarily random in order, go to this one and parts 2, 3, 4 subdividing at 100 message intervals as needed?
I think this may what you were proposing in an earlier thread, but not sure. Comments and submissions would still be preserved, but would not clutter the compilation.

Dicho, YES!! That's it! I think that would work wonderfully well, as so many have expressed a desire to preserve their comments and their contributions. It would make it a lot easier for me, too.

Heya, Joe, I'll send you a PM, too, but if that's okay with you and George, let's do that: make a permathread of the a-z and leave this one intact. People can add to this one and I'll do the transfer. How's that sound?

How elegant and simple! Don't know why my brain was making it so complicated.

Thanks, Dicho!

One more thing - The title of this thread is "Origins of: found on Mudcat." It's an intriguing title, abut a little hard to understand. Might I suggest that you kick around the idea of a different title for the PermaThread? I'd suggest Song Origins PermaThread™ - not catchy, but it tells the story.

It looks good, Kat.

One question. Both here and in the new thread, there are two songs on the one line. My Green Valleys and My Wild Irish Rose. Was this deliberate?

George, you are amazing! Now that I don't have to work at getting this one consolidated, I will easily have time to get these news ones listed in a timely manner.

Thanks, no it wasn't on purpose that they wound up on the same line. I will go edit them now. Thanks a bunch. This is all due to you and your kind work and brilliant idea!

Nope, not brilliant. Just noticed at the time how a lot of people were after the story behind the song, as well as the lyrics and or chords. Since we (Mudcat) were doing a lot of consolidating I thought this idea up. Now, it was probably several months before I posted the first thread message. That's why the first one had so many in it.

And it is really thanks to you for keeping it organized so others can use it easier. I usually do a "Find" in the browser so I never worried about it being in alphabetized form, but I can see why it would make newer people to the thread happier.

Thanks again for all the hard work.

I can't find it, but I was sure we had a thread on this song. All I could find was Alice's one message here. I remember reading a thread where we discussed Cole Porter taking over this song and giving the author's name.

Thanks, George. I didn't find it, either, but I did find a gem in this thread, Joe offer's last post has some history of the song: Miss Otis AND, Chords for

Try this one for Don't Fence Me In. I think there are three major threads for the song - I put crosslinks in the first message of each. I get a kick out of the ways Cole Porter came up with some of his songs..
and I get a kick out of you...
