Thanks for the feedback, Pat. But I am looking for the source of your
information ("anything 75 years or older is public domain"). I really
appreciate your help/opinion but need teh actual documentation. If you know
where I can find it, please let know. Thanks again.

I suspect this is the case also. That they collect royalties on
"arrangements" of the songs when royalties on the songs themselves are not
necessary. I'm simply trying to do the right thing. But I do NOT want to pay
royalties if it is not necessary that I do so.
