Only if you didn't pay yourself royalties. LOL!!!

My point is that this is the Song WRITERS forum. People are free to do ALL the covers they like. I just think, again it's my opinion and you are free to disagree (and most of you DO disagree with anything that comes from me), that covers, public domain or not, don't belong in a forum for WRITERS. That is not writing anything. There is another place to post links to covers.

Let me post the start of this new book I am "writing".

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."

Dickens wrote that in 1859. It MUST be public domain by now, so I am free to "write" it and claim it is my own work, right? I mean, he's been dead for like 150 years and it's not like it's going to get back to him.....

That is one of my favorite books. Though I have to admit that before I read it I thought it was about Minneapolis and St. Paul....


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
