Topic: Lyric transcription requests

I like your idea, Lindy.

I went through all of the Tommy Johnson lyric posts and compared them with the list in Weeniepedia for songs that had been transcribed. Here's a list of songs that *have* been transcribed but are not listed in Weeniepedia:

Morning Prayer
Boogaloosa/Bogalusa Woman/Button Up Shoes
Alcohol and Jake Blues
I Want Someone to Love Me
Cool Drink of Water
Bye Bye Blues
Lonesome Home (there are two versions transcribed)
I Wonder to Myself
Black Mare
Ridin’ Horse

Lots of juicy stuff for re-listening, some pretty whupped recordings, maybe better copies have surfaced since the original discussions.

Great idea, Lindy

One of the reasons (the main reason) that songs transcribed at Weenie Campbell don't end up in Weeniepedia is that the song in question isn't complete/properly finished.
I did this song by Nolan Barrelhouse Welsh and we just couldn't figure out a line he sings there.
We've put "a best guess" line in there but it would be inappropriate to make it official in Weeniepedia.
