Seabreeze,

Thank's for the back story on Avalon. There are so many good stories about licensing issues. Though not clarinet related, Michael Jackson approached Daryl Hall during the "We Are the World" project and apologized for stealing the bass line from "Man Eater" for his song "Billy Jean." Daryl Hall basically said, "that's cool, we all do it." Of course when members of Queen heard the intro to Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" while getting off a plane during a European tour, they thought it was "Under Pressure" until it got to the rap.......oops. They were not amused and sued Vanilla Ice for everything he made on that and derailed his career. The last I saw Vanilla Ice, he was doing some home construction project show on a knock off version of HGTV. Did he deserve that fate? Maybe. Maybe not.

I could go on and on with these stories....

...............Paul Aviles
