A long time ago the excellent digitrad kids songs section disappeard from Mudcat - replaced by a message saying 'The Kids' Digitrad is temporarily unavailable. We're reworking it, and we plan to reintroduce it, soon.' How soon is soon???? Bring it back please - it was a wonderful source of songs!

I agree - Dr. Sunshine

Seriously, I beleive that many people have contributed old-time lyrics and songs from the past...hoping...with a slim belief they might be melded into the DT permanent collection.

There is potential to reap a ten-fold return - if, if, if ... a template were used.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Hi, Dave -
There's a QuickLinks dropdown menu on almost every Mudcat page. On that menu is a selection called DT Keywords Search (or click here). There are several kid-related categories, like "Kids" and "Lullaby" and "Camp" and "playparty." Give them a try, and you'll find lots.
It you like something with a little more spice, try our threads called Naughty Kids' Greatest Hits.

We had a problem with the "Mudcat for Kids" feature - a few really bawdy songs kept popping up on our list of kids's songs, and we would get irate e-mails about our corrupting the minds and morals of the children of the English-speaking world. Those bawdy songs are an integral part of folk music, and folk music is our primary interest.

Now, for wholesome children's songs, there's http://www.kididdles.com/.

All the best to you.

If there's no intent to bring it back, shouldn't the error message be changed to reflect that?
