To Cathy Green and Jeff Slyn: Since I live 3 miles north of Shelbyville, you would probably use a lot of gas getting to my place, so if you want my DVD containing the old Jazz tunes, etc. just let me know where to send it, and I'll put one in the slow mail next Monday. I assume that my Toast 6 will make exact copies. I got a pack of 52 cent Compusa brand DVD-R which they inform me will work on most computers capable of reading DVD's.
As far as copyrights are concerned, most of the musicians are dead by now, so I doubt that I'll be breaking any laws by giving you the records. The only one I can think of who is still alive from this period is Lionel Hampton, who was born in Louisville. Now how's that for trivia. You can check with your attorney but I have heard that copyrights only last seventeen years- are am I thinking of patents. Back when I was in business, people use to copy the design of our houses all the time, and we had no recourse.
