[Vintage-Audio] Song Title Puzzle

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for the information!

It is good to hear from you, as I have not 'seen' your name on any list for 
a long long time my friend. I hope that all is well with you and yours 
Bruce.

I wonder if by changing the original title, didn't Johnny Horton do this 
song about 1960?, they were able to circumvent copyright fees? The Danny 
Davis and The Nashville Brass album was done in 1972.

Other then either being 'clever' and having fun with January 8Th and the 
historic battle for New Orleans and altering the original song title for fun 
or trying to avoid copyright fees, what did they do this for? I am sure 
there is more to this story then meets our eyes Bruce.
