Thread Name: I Wrote that Traditional Song
Subject: RE: I Wrote that Traditional Song
In the USA, the last time I checked, if one writes/adds a verse to a song belonging to another, he must (should?)get permission from the writer, explain in the notes that he himself added the new verse. The original writer/composer gets all royalties, however. Can anyone second this as correct information?
