Folks, Folks, don't get so upset over theme stealing.  This
has been going on for eons.  Anyone remember Arron Copland?
He was honored all over the place, but nearly everything he
ever did was a ripoff from someplace else.  Listen to Rodeo
sometime, then get an album of classic Mexican folksongs.  The
two will sound the same.  Take a listen to Grand Canyon Suite.
If you don't hear half-a-dozen other themes, your not paying
attention.  Great Balls of fire, music writers depend on
themes others have written.
