Dear Dr Nightingale,
I like your attitude, sir, and will resist billing you for any editing
and reconstruction of your extensive catalogue.
sincerely yours,
Sean Smith

Thanks to all of you --Chris, Dana, Ron, Ed, David-- who responded
to my
BMI question.
This is what I have learned:
1. I composed all this music -- I have already contacted the
Recovered
Memory Project.
2. BMI bears the burden of proof to the contrary; meanwhile, we'll
protest in no uncertain terms.
3. To stop the harassment, we'll lawyer up and send BMI a cease
and desist letter.
4. Even before I wrote all this beautiful music about 300+ years
ago, I
placed it in the public domain.
5. Perhaps superfluously, I herewith grant permission to all of you
to do with my music as you see fit.
6. If any of you be harassed by BMI, please feel free to refer them
to
me.
Thanks again,
Peter.
the next auto-quote is:
So the end result of the long campaign against government is that
we've
taken a disastrously wrong turn. America is now on the unlit, unpaved
road to nowhere.
