(A little off subject but in regard to the above)
And while you're complaining about copyrights, add the ability of a
photographer to indefinitely copyright images of YOU, probably discard the
negatives (or digital files) after a short period of time, and then WalMart
won't duplicate them, or even allow you to, without written permission of
the travelling photographer who you can't locate or may even be out of
business. (or if you do find them, it'll cost an arm and a leg for one copy)

(Back on subject)
TUNING was out of print before I realized what it was, and so I missed the
opportunity to get a copy.  We have a copy in our music reference library,
but  I'd happily order one for my own collection were it reprinted.
