When Woody Guthrie was singing hillbilly songs on a little Los Angeles radio station in the late 1930s he used to mail out a small mimeographed songbook to listeners who wanted the words to his songs. On the bottom of one page appeared the following: This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of our'n, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do - Pete Seeger, on Woody, June 67

Now that we have the January of 2019 Song of the Month posted (on the second try), do we have any volunteers to select the Song of the Month for the rest of 2019? If you haven't done it before, all that is required is to select a song that hasn't already been a Song of the Month and do an initial post that offers a few versions of the song and as much or as little background information on the song's origins as you care to present. If we could get the next few months scheduled, then I don't have to ask again for a while. Thanks to any volunteers. All best, Johnm Hi all,
We had responsibilities for selecting the Song of the Month scheduled through May, and nothing scheduled beyond. Would anyone, preferably someone who has not already provided a Song of the Month thus far this year, care to volunteer to take one of the remaining months this year? June--December are all open. The format simply requires that the initial poster for a month select the Song, post a few versions, do more or less research as it suits or as time allows, and then let the Weenie community respond. Any volunteers? Thanks. All best, Johnm
