Emily,

You are a wealth of musical history. But, knowing your background, I am not surprised. You stated OUR case (all lyricists) quite nicely. You honor me by including me in your reply.

I think I was the first person to reply to this thread. I made a very sincere and honest response. I think his responses over the life of this thread strongly suggest he was not as honest or as sincere in his statement.

Thanks for standing up for the rest of us so eloquently!

Alan
