30 May 98 - 08:10 PM (#29717) Subject: RE: Moonlight Bay Author needed From: Joe Offer Izzat you, Baz?? Words were by Edward Madden and music by Percy Wenrich, 1912. In one fakebook I have, Hal Leonard claims a copyright. In another, it's said to be held by CPP/Belwin. Seems to me it must be in the public domain, but I guess it's best to check the BMI and ASCAP sites above. -Joe Offer- |
31 May 98 - 04:59 PM (#29756) Subject: RE: Moonlight Bay Author needed From: BAZ Joe, yes it's me Thanks for the info and to who ever the kind person was that posted the two links. They look really useful. My problem has been that our local radio station came to record us last Saturday and have given us a tape. The Landlord of the Inn wants to sell it over the bar and he's asked me to produce the insert. We had a couple of guest singers drop by and I'm not familiar with the composers of the songs they did. However, you've managed to solve one for me so I'm grateful. Regards Baz |
