14 Aug 00 - 07:04 PM (#277755) Subject: RE: Desperately Seeking Lyrics From: GUEST,Bruce O. Woody Guthrie's "Philadelphia Lawyer" is in DT (click here). Rose Maddox's early recording helped to popularize it. When you start a thread at Mudcat, please try to pick a title that specifically describes what you're looking for. Generic thread titles like this one cause a lot of confusion, and people often follow up and make it more confusing by adding requests for other songs. For best results, please follow these guidelines:
Even though the title of this thread is a problem for us, we'll do our best to help you find what you're looking for. Thanks. -Joe Offer- |

14 Aug 00 - 09:41 PM (#277855) Subject: RE: Desperately Seeking Lyrics From: p.j. Joe, thanks for leavng this thread up and handling it as you did. I can imagine a first-time user of the Mudcat being overwhelmed with all the avialble resources that we take for granted, and not knowing how to dial "0" for Operator. In handling it as you did, you made provision for the Guest to find the lyrics he needed, for several folks to exercise their gracious nature to a newcomer, and for us all to smile at our first tenuous forray into the resource we now so deeply appreciate. It didn't cost us all that much now, did it? Thanks, Joe. pj

We never delete lyrics requests when they come in generic threads like this one - but we sometimes move them to threads to threads with more appropriate titles, and then provide a liink or do domething to make sure the requester can find what happened to his or her request. -Joe Offer- Attention: (Start a new thread with a specific title. Thanks.) |

What might help a bit is changing the 'Create a New Thread Here' banner on the homepage to 'Post New Requests, or Create a New Thread Here'. |
