Dear Rapunzelina,

before I send my next recording, just to be sure, when submitting a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme, does one credit "Mother Goose" as the author?

Post by **Rapunzelina** » November 21st, 2020, 1:55 pm

We'd probably go with "Unknown".

Thank you, Winston, this is such a sweet thing to say! And thank you for the lovely poems you are offering! (marked PL OK in the MW!)

Thank you for your recording, Ike! All great, I just left a note to myself to fix filename at cataloguing (it's missing an underscore _ )

Ikedsherr · Post by **Ikedsherr** » November 26th, 2020, 2:20 pm

Ah right, I forgot that part.

Here's another:

Poem: When as a lad, by Isabel Ecclestone Mackay (1875-1928)

Duration: 1:17

That's alright, Ike! Fixing a filename is easy at cataloguing.

I shall keep your recording for the next collection, or feel free to re-upload it when it's open, since you've already offered three poems for this month

Ikedsherr · Post by **Ikedsherr** » November 27th, 2020, 5:09 am

Ok, I'll re-upload it then. Thanks!

Post by **Rapunzelina** » November 27th, 2020, 7:26 am

Thank you, Ike! I did listen to it, and it's lovely and PL OK! So it will just need a re-upload with the new filename for the new collection next month; that is, in a few days

All of these are from Rural Tales, Ballads, and Songs by Robert Bloomfield (1766-1823)
