Talk:Long-song
Disambiguation of "Long-Song":
[edit]I would like to propose a disambiguation page for "Long-Song" as a long-song is also an object - specifically sheet music sold by the yard on the streets in England in the 1800's. There is already a page called "Long song" - without a hyphen that "Long-song" - with a hyphen redirects to.
I'm really don't feel confident enough to start a new item so I'm hoping for assistance from the community.
