And if a sound recording was made of the "objectionable" song, either pull the record from sale, and/or have the artist come in and do the revised version? So far, the earliest I could come up with is "You're a Grand Old Rag" from 1906. I would like to know if the musicologists in this group can come up with anything earlier, before I stake a claim on this one. Ryan
