• You need only sign on talk pages.
• Paragraphs need to not have any indent. They get fucked up if you try to intend.

[edit] Kingston Trio Comment

Hello Daniel Sparkman!

Thanks you for your clarifying comment under mine about KT copyrights on the Dave Guard Talk page. I am a major KT fan, but I really didn't like what they did with a lot of traditional tunes and even less what they did with copyrights, Guard especially. However - for some reason your comment is not showing up in its entirety on the Talk page - I'll see if I can fix it.

One point - I listed some of the KT copyright malfeasances, but the story of "You're Gonna Mis Me" is actually even funnier. The "Seeger, Paley, Cohen" who grabbed the copyright from ol' Charlie Poole were (as you probably know) none other than The New Lost City Ramblers, purveyors of authenticity in response to the crass commercialism of the KT. After SP&G co-opted Poole's song, Guard changed part of a line or two and appended his name to the copyright. I don't believe that SP&G ever objected; KT albums sold in the millions in those days and enriched anyone who owned a song copyright on them. RegardsSensei48 (talk) 20:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
