I filed my first copyright in 1978 and am now able to do so electronically.  It’s not just vanity.  I work at trying to get my songs recorded, licensed or somehow making money for me.

Along the way, I’ve taken an interest in the business side of music.  Frankly, if any musician is serious, I think this is a necessity.
