253 Ms. Barbara Ringer March 10, 1994 Page 4 a small piece of the jigsaw puzzle of distinctly American intellectual property that helps define our national culture. It has been protected and promoted and always available. It has been of benefit to my mother, my sister and to me, as my father's direct heirs, because the song is still earning a very substantial amount of money for Donaldson Publishing Company . (we own the Donaldson share, which is 1/3 of the copyright) as well as for the heirs/publishers of the lyricists. (See II Business History attached.) I must add that we have granted synchronization rights... on a gratis basis... for this song and others, for use in historical documentaries aimed at libraries, museums, schools and Public Television. This seems appropriate to us; it is how we do business. This song, musically and lyrically certainly, but also because of its unique place in our cultural history, represents the cornerstone of my father's career and, in turn, of my family's publishing company, which is our livelihood. On December 31 of this year, "How 'Ya Gonna Keep 'Em Down On The Farm" is due to go into Public Domain, as have all of my father's songs from 1915-1918.
