Tom J - I am deeply saddened to hear of this news. And not because my request was apparently up soon for production - a very hard song I would think; however, that was not my motivation at all - 'Is There Anyone Home' ~ gl - I just have loved the mysterious nature, and soaring strings and vocals in the song.

Far more important, - the main issue at hand - the general censorship by what I hear is presumed to be Warner maybe ? As was said - what a great way to not only get free advertisement on Lightfoot and others, but to express artistically as your team has so beautifully - fitting tributes to all those songs. Work that could inspire a whole new generation of fans - thats money in the drawer for Warner/Linus/Rhino et al.... I don't get it.

I will say a little something that you folks may continue.... a noble quest indeed that you've all embarked upon in your team. Very saddened to hear this. Optimistic of another venue, though.

One Q Tom - why would they remove only some, and a minority at that ?
Or am I the only dummy here lol.... Could a pro-bono attorney - or one in corfid membership comment on the jurisprudence of this ? Are there precedent court rulings in and after the the 'reasonable use act' ?

All the best to you and the whole team, with my heartfelt thanks for the further beauty you folks complimented Lightfoot's work with.
