(Sorry could'nt resist.)

Actually, copyright is held by the holder's estate for several (25?)
years after the holders death.  The estate can also extend the

Humor and parody are but a small portion of the ground covered by
Filk.  (A sub-genre of a sub-genre?) Beloved by some, hated by others.
Topics are bound to follow the links and wander out of the filk area.

Take your own PDQ Bach example.  Discussions of his work isn't
covered under filk.  (I think I'm going to get flamed for that line.) 
Discussion of getting his recordings from filk dealers is.

We do have a benevolent d/i/c/t/a/t/o/r/ moderator and almost any
musical discussion is ok to have in the 
FILK echo/alt.music.filk/fidonet.filk/Mailing List.

in LA just a couple years ago.

This may seem like a non-filk topic, but it isn't.

Our group does a song that includes a slide whistle solo.  We
currently use a plastic one, but it needs to be miked/amplified in
order to be as loud as the rest of the instruments and vocals.

We thought a metal slide whistle might be the solution -- after all,
Spike Jones managed to get HIS slide whistle to carry over his
orchestra, didn't he?  However, we don't know where to get one.

Any suggestions?

I believe the song you're referring to is Frank Hayes "S-100 Bus". It can
be found either on the "Best Computer Songs" tape, a collection by Vince
Emery (the guy who did the "Star Trek Comedy" tape), and also on the tape
"Don't Ask" by Frank Hayes himself.

I didn't catch the original post (I think it preceded the opening of the
gateway to Usenet), but I know which story you're talking about.  It
happened not too far from here, in southern Vermont.  There was even
(for a while at least) a children's book being published about it,
complete with photographs.  Last I heard, though, the book was withdrawn
because the farmer whose cow had been so victimized claimed he, and not
the guy who took the photographs, owned the copyright to the story
(since it happened to his cow, after all).  Sometimes the truth is
stranger than fiction.

I just want to take this opportunity to say:  This group is great!  I'm
glad someone finally started a group dedicated entirely to filk.  The
folk music newsgroup just doesn't do it justice.  Also, judging from the
first few days' volume, I don't think there will be any problem getting
the group moved to the rec.* hierarchy, and this should definitely be
pursued (many sites still refuse to carry alt.* groups).

  The S-100 song is on 'Don't Ask' from Off Centaur Publications; I got it
through Firebird.  E-mail if you need the address.

The library where I work just got a new book on copyright that might
be useful for anyone wanting to copyright his songs, and for anyone
who wants to avoid infringing on others' copyrights.  It is _The
Copyright Handbook: How to Protect and Use Written Works_ by Stephen
Fishman.  It is published by NOLO Press in Berkeley.  It's 8 1/2 x 11
and has various pagings so I can't easily tell how many.  It's a $24.95
paperback, but should be available in libraries.  Since it was just
published it might not be available now.  I have not read it and would
not be professional qualified to evaluate it if I had, but it looks
useful.
