RE: OT: Copyright and Telephony Rebroadcast

Hmmm... Well in that case any one know any local musicians with
original music or original recordings of public domain music and would
be willing to let me put said music on my phone system in exchange for
being promoted on said phone system? I remember their being some Jazz
musicians on the list, any one play any Jazz/Blues and would be willing
to let me have a copy of a recording?
:)
