Old Dan Tucker[edit]

Well, researching and writing our article on "Dixie" was a lot of fun, so I decided to tackle another American folk song. "Old Dan Tucker" doesn't have the same political ramifications as "Dixie", so the article's shorter, but it covers the topic comprehensively in my opinion. The only thing missing is an audio sample or, better yet, full, free version of the song. I have MP3s of a couple of minstrel show-style "Old Dan Tucker" music re-creations, but I'm having trouble getting Audacity to work at the moment to create OGG clips. Any help on this front would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, there are links at the bottom of the article to sample versions of the song.

Support really well done. User:Gmaxwell might be able to help youout with the .ogg stuff, it'd make a great addition to the article.--Peta 01:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support Although I do have a request: can you get rid of some of those redlinks? I think there are way too many right now in the article and it gives the article sort of an...ugly look, even though in other ways it's a terrific piece of work.UberCryxic 19:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks! Yeah, red-link reduction is definitely on the agenda. I'm currently working on "Miss Lucy Long", and others should turn blue in the next few days, hopefully. — BrianSmithson 01:45, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
