"John, I've never found these PD web sites very useful. They are not consistant, and some have very little info" - Ben

I agree Ben, pertaining to newer/recent public domain songs. Gotta be very careful there.

However, the older ones like Silent Night, Battle Hymn of the Republic, Auld Lang Syne, etc., I wouldn’t be concerned with those. I think everyone knows that they’re dang old tunes. One quick check would be sufficient for me.

Here's one list of PD tunes: http://www.pdinfo.com/list/a.htm But cross reference with a couple other sites to play it safe.

Best, John smile
