If there is one thing that can arouse good musicians from their usual torpor, it is the mention of Mr. Clinton's name, the reason being that he is the most unadulterated copyist extant. He was put where he is because a high executive of a record company had him under personal contract and spared no pains to see that his investment was protected. In regard to his copying, examine "Fon To You" and you will...
