[Oe List ...] THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Good work, All.

Do we know about copyright laws re use of tunes? I think some church or churches 
got busted back in the 70's/80's for writing hymns to existing tunes (don't know 
where they got such a notion). With UTube, etc. everything is instantly public. 
Wouldn't want to waste creativity and energy.

David,

I think your suggestion is great!  We often think of our songs and singing only 
in relationship to our corporate and individual spirits, but I believe you and 
Dixie are right in opening up this form of "formation".   I could see some great 
new songs, posted on UTube that could reach a whole new level of Those Who Care. 
 It will take some careful work, but it's one of the best ideas of "getting our 
wisdom into history" that I've heard.  Let's go for it!

G&P,

Jack

Thanks very much Jack for the Contradictions file. Dixie Jennings-Teats is 
suggesting that we do some Pentecost Hymn-Writing. I suppose it could either be 
a workshop or simply a public request with a deadline for posting.
