I've been listening to music since I was a wee tyke.
Like most of us, I dabble in the relm of songwriting.
I've written over two hundred songs.
One thing that keeps happening to me is this.
I wrote a kids song, for young children, my grandkids.
I let a friend listen to it before I began recording it. He says, "Man, I haven't heard that song in years."
Obviously I hadn't either. I hadn't heard that song since I was like six, Big Rock Candy Mountain, by Tex Ritter.
I'm in my fifties now.
Somehow, I remembered that entire song I use to listen to over forty years ago, except for a few changed words here and there.
That's the second time that's happened. Now I'm sifting through my 'original' songs, checking them twice, ect.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has plagerized unwittingly, as I've done.
