copyright???

Honk!"


Yikes!!!!!   If shady men in black coats show up at a looping festival with
obvious
subpoenas, please let me know so that I can slip out the back door.   I had
included
one extra half second of silence in my recording  (4'33 1/2"?) as a back
door
out of this possible scenario, but I think someone's been tapping my phone.
