CHORD PROGRESSIONS CAN NOT BE Copyrighted I thought everyone

was aware of that ???? And many of those old blues songs are out of copyright and

in fact in Public Ownership many of those songs were never even registered i

the first place ;

Uk Singer Lonnie Donnegan had Mega Hits buy updating old songs that were and

are classed as Traditional (In Public Ownership ) and he would have collected the full

royalties on those songs, as if he had been the original writer

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
