[Oe List ...] Song book

[KarenBueno at aol.com]

When I was working on publishing the preschool song book in 2000, I  
attempted to include musical notation of the melodies.  Since most of them  were 
nursery rhymes, there was no copyright issue.  But I tried to get  permission from 
the copyright holders of "Blowing in the Wind" for "How  Many".  Both that 
company and the copyright holders of "This Land is You  Land", which is also a 
tune in the preschool repertoire, denied my request,  saying it is against 
copyright laws to publish that music with different  words.
 
Just that note for those who are looking to do any trademarked publications  
of the melodies, whether in recordings of songs or actual musical  notations.  
Some of them will need to be without authorization.
 
In going through the SONGS list of Larry's publication (thanks, Larry), I  
noticed that we were singing "Whispering Hope".  It must have been after I  left 
most structure of OE and ICA.  That was my dad's favorite and was one  sung 
at his funeral.  I have a notation of it on very, very ancient paper,  if 
anyone wants to have a copy for future use!

Hey, Weigel!  I offered you and Shanker the use of my mountain house  near 
Winter Park, but I haven't heard a reply.  Did you receive my  message?
