Sue and Ann H. have come up with Shenandoah, but I think I will need some
advice on American time zones to determine who has won with that particular
title. Perhaps Sue, as she was at her `puter before 7.00 am. You weren`t
thinking of titles all night long, ending up with a "wet" dream, were you
Sue? Oh my goodness me, I`m so sorry about that. I do apologise. So,
<perhaps> Sue might qualify. Please advise.

Bill has come up with 3 interesting titles. "Song of the Fishes", "My
Bonnie - - -", and "Row, Row your Boat".

So I reckon that I`ll choose Shenandoah and one of Bill`s. Bill is a winner,
and either Sue or Ann H. If I can ask Bill where I might be able to get a
copy of "Fishes" - the others I think will be quite easy to obtain. In the
meantime I will see if the B. Ives book is still in print in the U.K.
Thank you also to all others who, unwittingly got bogged down with lyrics, -
ho ho,
my clarinets will not be required to sing.

For Bill - I think music stays within copyright for 70 years after the
composers death. Certainly in U.K. So I think I would do a little research
Bill, and maybe revise your 1953 date. I wonder when your own little ditty
will come into the public domain - - - - - -

Hooray, my car accident settlement has finally materialised, with an
upwardly revised figure, and £150 in compensation also, after my complaining
of extremely inefficient insurance handling. Enough of Axa insurance. I was
watching T.V. on Christmas Day standing up, after suffering whiplash in my
lower back. I`m not too bad now thank you. I pick up my Peugeot 306, 5 door
1.4XL hatch back tomorrow morning, and have to take it to a big band gig in
the evening. Wish me luck.

Best,
Tony W.
