Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does Anyone Remember The Horse
Hello Sol,

well, I never doubted kytrad, really. But, then again, I never doubted Iain MacKintosh either :-) There must be some kind of explanation for this, other than plagiarism. From looking at the songs he recorded, one can safely say that he was strongly influenced by American singer/songwriters, the most obvious of these influences is probably Harry Chapin. Iain has recorded at least five of Chapin's songs, always correctly listing Chapin as the composer. So, what I don't understand is why he would risk a lawsuit by committing plagiarism in this particular case. I'm still trying to find an explanation, I'll be sure to keep you and kytrad informed.

Regards,

T.
