Here are a few things that folks come looking for on my site... things they don't find here, and why they don't find them:
--Music by other composers. People occasionally look for Janice Kapp Perry, Michael McLean, Julie de Azevedo, Afterglow, Dan Carter, Gladys Knight, Hilary Weeks, Kenneth Cope, Kurt Bestor, Orrin Hatch, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir... etc., etc. etc. Music written or performed by these and other composers is under their own copyrights and I don't distribute it.
--Misspelled words. Okay, occasionally I miss a typo or a misspelling. But for the most part, you have to spell things correctly for them to turn up in a search. For example, I had no idea "Gethsemane" could be spelled in so many creative ways. I've seen "Gethsemany," "Gethsamane," "Gethsameny," "Gethsemanee," and others I can't remember. Likewise, I've seen "shepherd" spelled "sheepherd," "shepard," "sheppard," "shepperd," etc. If you can't find what you're after, check for typos and misspellings. :)
--Rap, blues, disco, rock, metal, country, hip-hop, trance, reggae... you get the idea. Also, songs from Broadway Musicals, popular radio, Disney (or any other) movies, and secular music in general.
While we're on the subject...
People who run their own websites have had occasion to chuckle over some of the search terms that show up on search engine statistics. Checking my search engine stats is always an adventure. Some searches are just too fun to keep to myself... and the list keeps growing:
"Christmas Cantina" (On an LDS site? Not likely.)
"My sherry ammo" (Stevie Wonder patents a way to convert wine into a weapon. Pick some up at the Christmas Cantina.)
"Love Knows No Boarders" (This ain't a bed and breakfast ya know...)
"A Manager Filled With Love" (Wishful thinking.)
"Holmes Bright Love" (When you have eliminated the impossible...)
"Dance of the Sugar Palm Fairy" (Think ballerina in a grass skirt.)
"Relief Society March" (Okay, I do understand the intent... but oh, the visual images...)
"Woke up this morning" (My favorite joke: What's the inscription on a blues singer's tombstone? "I didn't wake up this morning...")
"Titanic" (Near, far, but not on this site.)
"Under the Sea" (That's where you'll find the Titanic.)
"If I Stood Beside Me" (There is help for this kind of thing.)
"Make Me One" (Er... ditto.)
"I'll Find Me, My Friend" (Um...do you sense a theme here?) (BTW, I didn't write the correctly-named version either, despite what some websites say.)
"God Sent An Angle" (A right angle, of course. Mothers are always right.)
"The Angles Came To Sing" (Sounds like a trippy Geometry nightmare to me.)
"It Came Upon A Midnight Clean" (Those angles are a bit fanatical about their housekeeping.)
"Be Still, My Sole" (Shush. It's the salmon's turn to sing.)
"Sally Forth" (Not even Sally DeForth?)
"Hark the Herald Angels Sin" (Tsk tsk... tarnished haloes...)
"I Stand Almoazed" (I don't have "Almoazing Grace" either.)
"I Stand All Amused" (I do this often, but I don't tend to write songs about it.)
"Cat" (Hard as I try, I just can't seem to upload the cat.)
"Panino" (A new concept in e-commerce: downloadable sandwiches.)
"Piece of an angel to watch over me" (What, you don't want the whole angel?)
"The Aster's Voice" (Sounds like something straight out of Merrie Melodies.)
"You must have been a beautiful baby" (Thank you!)
