You know, as I was thinking, and said to other musicians I have worked with in the past, I try to go over my 'new' stuff, to MAKE SURE, that it does not 'mimic' other tunes in ANY way!...and if it is brought to my attention that, 'Gee, it sounds a little like_______(?),'....I immediately go to work on it, to make sure it is ORIGINAL!...as said in my 'Ten Commandments for Musicians'....#8, "Thou shall not steal licks, and then announce A 'NEW ORIGINAL SONG' you just wrote. If stealing is in your heart, please don't play, or sing!…Matter of fact, SHUT UP!"..(maybe I should post it again)!..We'll see.
