Sorry if this is off-topic. I thought Rob Bamberger did a nice job paying tribute to the music of New Orleans this past Saturday at http://www.wamu.org/audio/hj/05/09/hj050903.ram or http://www.wamu.org/audio/hj/05/09/hj050903.asx

New Orleans, with Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday (1947) played recently on American Movie Classics Louis refers to classical music as longhair music

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH SKIFFLE, RUDIE? TELL IT TO SHAGGY Skiffle? I was listening to Richard M. Jones at Red Hot Jazz Archive and found Tickle Britches Blues might be the source for the melody: http://www.redhotjazz.com/songs/jones/tickle.ram

Though he is thought of as a folk musician in some circles and probably should not, guitarist John Fahey loved traditional jazz and featured it on his albums Of Rivers and Religion, After the Ball, and Old Fashioned Love. The last one, OFL, has a great tune by Clarence Williams, Boodle Am, as well as a jazz Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning. Then you might think of the early jazz blues singers like Bessie Smith and that crowd having some connection with the folk music of the day, but I might be wrong.

So dumb she couldn't direct traffic on a one way street

This one's pretty good. That's Stuff Smith right in the middle of the front row. Oscar Pettiford two men to the right, with the light jacket.

Here's an index of some of Bill Monroe's songs: http://www.bluegrasslyrics.com/monroe_index.cfm.htm Of these you might want to hear the following: Body and Soul Close By Down in the Willow Garden First Whippoorwill Kentucky Waltz Memories of Mother and Dad Mother's Only Sleeping On the Old Kentucky Shore Precious Memories Sweetheart, You/ve Done me Wrong Walls of Time When the Golden Leaves Begin to Fall (he has some great gospel stuff as well) There are too many by Hank Williams to name. He is my all-time favorite. From the Louvins, here's a discography: http://www.bluegrasslyrics.com/louvin_index.cfm.htm Try the following: You're Running Wild When I Stop Dreaming The First One to Love You, the Last to Forget If I Could Only Win Your Love The Weapon of Prayer

So many great shows! I fondly remember guest spots by Groucho Marx, Mel Brooks (took over the entire 90 minutes!), Albert Brooks, Don Rickles, and Moe of the Three Stooges.

Here's a link to Hot Jazz Saturday Night's 3 hour tribute New Year's Day to Artie Shaw: http://www.wamu.org/audio/hjsn/05/01/050101.ram Should be up for a week.

I misdoubt that Templeton guy (borrowing from the malaprop/Freudian slip leeway we have from Bush)

I'm sure I see the publisher's point of view/interest. The copyright clause supersedes it though because it is clear we mean works to become part of the public domain for the greater good, (the ever-forgotten point) which you might add as your third point. It is a very important point, stated in the constitution, and even the Supreme Court recognizes it.

Like a reaffirmation in the U.S. that the purpose of copyright is NOT compensation for creators. It's giving creators a limited-time monopoly so that they have incentive to create. And we want them to create so that their work eventually becomes part of the public domain for the sake of the greater good. Without those principles, we are in for a long haul fighting off perpetual copyrights.
