Hi bickel !

Thanks for your feedback; it's appreciated!

Indeed, 'That Ole Devil Called Love' should have been in SecondHandSongs a long time, especially when you look at the age of the original post (from 2006)!

As you can tell from the forum board 'Add Songs To The Database' there is a gigantic backlog of still to be processed posts. The main reasons for this is that we do not have enough editors (all volunteers!) to do all the work, which is a pity, especially for the members who post covers and expect them added in an acceptable amount of time.

Maybe you'd like to help and after some training become an editor yourself? Have a look here for some basic info on becoming an editor: http://www.secondhandsongs.com/wiki/Main/JoinUs

Andy's post is fine; there are some data missing, but finding these is of course an editor's job.

Let me try to fill in some of the blanks:
