     This is like my second "me too" post in a week but...I don't care <g>.
Very well put, and I feel even *more* strongly about this, when the credits
aren't on a record I just about blow my top.  That, and when I'm at a live
show where some band plays a number of lesser known songs and doesn't give
cred to either the song origin or writer.
