Subject: RE: Rollin' Home (REQ: Lyrics & Music) From: RS Date: 30 Jul 97 - 06:29 PM If you make your way to the Peter Paul and Mary website, (at http://www.downeast.net/ppm/ ), then click on the "Alphabetical list of songs which contains links to lyrics, songbooks and video releases" , (at http://www.downeast.net/ppm/nslist.html ), then click on the "R" page (at http://www.downeast.net/ppm/nslist.html#r ) then click just underneath "Rolling Home", where it says "Album 1700", you will get to http://www.downeast.net/ppm/na1700.html#song1 , with the complete lyrics of the song "Rolling Home". Of course you could just cut & paste the last URL given above, but then you'll miss seeing what a great website PP&M have put together! By the way, a query to the "Powers That Be": I could obviously have just cut & pasted the lyrics from that site, & posted them here, which would have saved Hugo the (slight) inconvenience of looking them up, and also made them available for you to add to DT. But I am unsure of the netiquette here ... is this an ok thing to do? Should one ask the website owner, out of politeness, if they mind? Obviously, one would be unlikely to get caught, especially if one made minor modifications before posting ... but suppose one took MANY songs from one site? Any thoughts on how to approach this? |

Subject: RE: Rollin' Home (REQ: Lyrics & Music) From: Bill D Date: 31 Jul 97 - 01:01 PM In my,ahem..'humble' opinion, you did about the right thing...refer someone to a more appropriate site...Max says he will be developing a 'links' page that we can list the many sites that are not quite folk/trad, but are still of interest to the readers here....this should help reduce the strain on this forum and still provide a much needed service...I'll bet in a year we will be amazed at how smoothly this all works... Thanks for asking and taking the time to care... |

Subject: RE: Rollin' Home (REQ: Lyrics & Music) From: RS Date: 31 Jul 97 - 07:47 PM Thanks Bill for your reply, it answers part of my question but not all ... in this particular case I *would* consider just about all of Peter Paul & Mary's music as "contemporary folk", and much of it is also "traditional" ... the DT database already contains at least six of their songs ... so what about the netiquette of copying songs from their site? Is it "done" or "not done"? |

Subject: RE: Rollin' Home (REQ: Lyrics & Music) From: LaMarca Date: 01 Aug 97 - 02:00 PM Don't know whether it's good netiquette or not, RS, but my vote would be for referring folks to a site that already has the lyrics posted; after all, why take up memory/bandwidth/(whatever the correct computerese term is) by duplicating something that's already available? (The Department of Redundancy Department?) I actually enjoy browsing through sites that other folks have sent me to on other song queries, and it avoids getting into the Folk/Not Folk issue completely! |

Subject: ADDPOP: Rolling Home (Eric Andersen) From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Sep 02 - 03:28 PM I think our thinking on this has evolved over the years. We've learned that other Websites die, and the lyrics posted on them get lost. I copied these lyrics from peterpaulandmary.com -Joe Offer- ROLLING HOME Truth, with all its far out schemes, Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybody's game Chorus: Well, I see the ones who crawl like moles Now if you care what people think, (Chorus) There's nothing big I want to prove, Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet; (Chorus) |
