Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

Steam Powered Aereo Plane

John Hartford

Aereo-Plain (Album)

Well I never went away on a Steam Powered Aero plane
Well I went and stayed and damn near didn't come back again
Didn't go very fast on a steam powered aero plane
Oh the wheel went around, up and down, and inside and then back again

Sittin' in a 747 just watching them clouds roll by
Can't tell if it's sunshine or if it's rain
Rather be sittin' in a deck chair high above Kansas City
On a genuine old fashioned steam powered aero plane

Well I'd like to be a pilot on a steam powered aero plane
Well I'd pull that pilot wheel around and then back again
Well, I'll wear a blue hat, yeah, that says Steam Powered Aero plane
With letters that go around the rim and then back again
