I readily admit....I PLAGERIZE!!!! and seldom do I give "credit."

A couple of my personal/best/favorites were drawn from popular "hits".....however, no one has linked them back to the orginal tunes.....after two years of par-mutations few would recognize the main threads of....."If You Want To Destroy This Sweater" or Joplin's "I Got A Brand New Pair of Roller Skates." Yet, the BASIC chord progression is similar.

Frequently,,,,,after working on a "theme" the variation,,,,,gives way to variation,......gives way to variation....give way to variation and anyone is "hard pressed" to find any portion of the original composition in the final rendering.

Good Lord help me.....I have "sic'd" the copyright police down on legitimate composeurs....from every "wanna-be" neo-phyte that just discovered I,IV,V this past week....and considers their discovery, "original."
