How do I submit a song?

From: Rastrelnikov

I entered a song into one of the threads here three or four months ago, but can't find it in the database. Is there a formal way to submit songs so they won't possibly be missed by the moderator? Is there a formal way to submit corrections to songs?

Westering Home (as I remember the Cories singing it)

Chorus: Westerin' home with a song in the air Light in her eyes and it's good-bye to care Laughter or love and a welcome in there Isle of my heart my own land

Tell me o' lands of the orient gay Speak of the riches and joys of Cathay Hey! but it's grand to be wakin' each day And find yourself nearer to Isla

Chorus

Where are the folk, like the folk of the west Canty and coothy and kindly the best There I must hie me and there I must rest At haim with my ain folk in Isla

Repeat chorus

Hi- We don't really have a moderator, but, as the keeper of the Digital Tradition, I read everything that's posted here. Songs that appear here will find their way into the DT, but not always immediately. Westering Home is one of my favorites. I don't know why we don't have it. But we will.

"Westering Home" is among the many Oct97 additions which can be downloaded but not yet obtained online. Wolfgang

Ah! Thanks for the feedback. I had begun to figure it didn't get in there because I hadn't used proper HTML line breaks. For those wondering, thats < bracket br bracket > after each line to keep the lines from running together. Hmmm. I'll just test that....
