I am enjoying playing Sir Charles Rant - or Sir Charle's Rant - in
Peacock, but the title is interesting.
It obviously isn't a rant under the various definitions discussed here
recently, since it's in 6/8.
For those without Peacock who like words to rhythms, it doesn't refer to
tomato soup,

Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure simply recording it does confer
copyright, or at least has in the past, justly or not.
