An entirely noble music radio station, WMNR in Monroe CT, all
classical music, all volunteer, a great station to listen to on the
internet -- not part of the NPR world for the most part -- brings me
this afternoon an announcer telling a digested version of the linked
story below -- about the real-world case of what has happened to the
royalties of Maurice Ravel since his death in 1937.

"Bolero" still makes big bucks, you see, and so it seems that my own
contributions to WMNR are even now, as I listen to "Bolero",
contributing to those royalties.  Decide for yourself the benefit to
society that comes from the way this particular money droppeth like
the gentle rain from heaven upon today's beneficiaries. A fascinating
article...
