Last week’s Mystery Song was "Don’t Stop The Music" by Sixten Jansson, and with that I say adieu to this particular category in my blog.  I haven’t been personally hassled by anyone, I’ve just thought about it and decided that now is is a pretty good time to stop. It takes tons of bandwidth that I should be saving for my own music, and it’s a legally questionable thing to do, obviously.  But more than anything I need to cut down on distractions as much as possible, so I can work more on my own music.  I am going to continue giving away some of my tunes here; they’re my recordings and that’s my choice. But I don’t want them be republished elsewhere without my permission, and I must reluctantly conclude that I should follow the golden rule and do the same for other musicians, and the labels (or thugs) they choose to work with.  Even the out-of print stuff isn’t really mine to give away.  So… one less thing to worry about, one less mixed emotion for me!

For reference, here’s the complete list of all the Mystery Songs I’ve shared.

Sorry but I can’t send you a copy of any of these songs, so please don’t ask!
