Hi. I am back after several years away. I am working on a new CD and have some questions. I probably have enough songs but let me know if something strikes your fancy or you have written one. Could be room for one or two more people. Song must not have copyrights..either trad or you or your friend wrote it and would give permissions. This makes life much much easier.

I have questions on copyrights. We want to include figurehead carver. I believe a long ago person wrote words and Dick Swain wrote tune. Does anyone know how to go about copyright?

I know I said no copyrights but I probably will have to do a couple. Other one is Shipyard Apprentice. Some say Archie Fisher, some give a cowriter and tune by someone else. I really want those two songs for sure.

Other is Blue Nose by Stan Rogers. If there is anything I hate worse than regular copyrights..like USA ones...it is Canadian ones. I don't think I have it in me. I respect copyrights but I also try not to get entangled with them. But if you can suggest something for this one too please let me know.

Would love, if room, a few songs in other languages. Basque? French? who knows. m. garvey
