MY SONGBOOK
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The author of this work wishes to thank those individuals of
great creative ability for the content of this book. He acknowledges that
having no personal integrity and no inborn native creativity that he
with malicious intent, and premeditation did steal, copy, and pirate
every single song contained herein. Any deviation from the original writing
is purely coincidental and a result of memory lapse, mental laziness, and
disregard for any accurateness in the faithful reproduction of well
written songs.
The author further wishes to state that he doesn't care what opinion
others might have concerning his moral turpitude concerning song rustling.
He also states that if you don't want your works to be pirated, don't sing
them in his presence. He feels that any song he hears is fair game and has
no problem with making it his own.
