content: Professional copy sheet music has no cover illustrations and is intended for the use of professional musicians. Most of the sheets indicate who controlled the broadcast rights, and so this file provides evidence for the rise of BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) during the war years when coincidentally national broadcasters and ASCAP had a major breakdown in contract negotiations.
