GUEST,Nathalie R Rights to record for Traditional Songs (28) Rights to record for Tradtional Songs 24 Aug 05


My friends have talked me into actually recording some of my favorite sea chanteys, but I find I run into a wall when I try and figure out the rights... If it has an author than it is traditional to ask/buy for the rights to record. But many of the songs I want to do I have always known as Traditional. Do you have to do anything specific to get the rights to record a Traditional song?

And while I have your attention, the songs I believe to be tradtional are:
Tow Rope Girls
Leave Her Johnny
Randy Dandy -O
'Rio Grande
Heave Boys Away/The Capstan Bar
Three Score and Ten
Sailor at Sea
Mingulay Boat Song
Bury Me Not in the Deep deep sea
Holy Ground

If you know that one of these is not a Traditional, please let me know.
