Thanks to all of you --Chris, Dana, Ron, Ed, David-- who responded to my 
BMI question.

This is what I have learned:

1.  I composed all this music -- I have already contacted the Recovered
     Memory Project.

2.  BMI bears the burden of proof to the contrary; meanwhile, we'll
     protest in no uncertain terms.

3.  To stop the harassment, we'll lawyer up and send BMI a cease
     and desist letter.

4.  Even before I wrote all this beautiful music about 300+ years ago, I
     placed it in the public domain.

5.  Perhaps superfluously, I herewith grant permission to all of you
     to do with my music as you see fit.

6.  If any of you be harassed by BMI, please feel free to refer them to
     me.

Thanks again,
Peter.

the next auto-quote is:
So the end result of the long campaign against government is that we've
taken a disastrously wrong turn. America is now on the unlit, unpaved
road to nowhere.
(Paul Krugman)
