I once came up with what I thought was a brilliant tune and arranged it for a sax trio I was working with. The whole thing just rolled out so easily and I called it "Sea Blues". Wasn't until about a year later I was listening to a Charles Mingus recording and THERE WAS MY SONG!!! I was listening to a lot of Mingus at the time, and unwittingly reproduced "Noddin' Ya Head Blues" in my own composition. Bummer!

Ebbie: at least you have an original tune now. All you need is new words ...
