Genie, I try to encourage people to post corrections and lyrics here, instead of mailing them direct to Dick. If you post stuff before it goes to the DT, people have a chance to review it for accuracy - and your information is immediately available to eveyrone. Try to find an existing thread on the song, and post your message there - put CORRECTION and the song title in the title of your message. If you're just correcting the name of the songwriter, use the Attribution PermaThread.
Thanks.

Now I'm confused, Joe. I thought you wanted us to do both -- post in the forum and then send Dick a PM with a link to the thread/post with the correction, so it wouldn't be overlooked.

I've been trying without making a fuss to give a wee bit of essential info to a song in the Digital Tradition, ie the author.
The song is one of my favourites, Faraway Tom and the DT refers to it being sung by Jean Redpath. True, but the guy who wrote it was the January Man himself, Dave Goulder.
If there is a more appropriate way of informing or ammending please let me know. I've tried the FAQs and am a bit confused as where one should make friendly submissions.

I've already given that particular information, and I think that Susan has it now for inclusion in the next version of the DT.

The place to post attributions is this thread:

Attribution added: DT authors PermaThread

Though I knew who wrote it, I wasn't able to supply the copyright date and publishing details; if you could add them (and any others that you're aware of and which aren't in the database at present) to that thread it would be helpful.

Judy Dyble - if you have corrections to Fairport Convention lyrics that are in the Digital Tradition, please post them in this thread (click), and we would be very grateful.
Thank you very much for stopping by.

I don't think I ever even saw this thread. It seems to mostly have been alive for only a day or so. Not too many actual corrections in it. I'll trace the thread to work on those.

I think I'll close this thread and ask people to go to the attributions and minor corrections thread for minor stuff. For major stuff, start a new thread.
