Apple states it forks over 70 cents of the 99 cents collected to the
"owner" of the tune.

If I recall correctly, the "owner" is the royalty collector. The artist
and/or record company assigns the copyright rights in exchange for a small
royalty payment - 5 or 10 cents. The royalty collector (BMI, ASCAP and many
others now) collect the lion's share. The artists had to do this - they had
no means of enforcing copyright protection of their work. It was that or
nothing.

I "ripped" an original composition I did a few years ago from my own CD and
posted it "over there".

It's in windows media file format.

It probably won't appeal to everybody - it's a haunting kind of tune, best
for quiet, reflective moods.

I'd post some other sequences that are bit more lively, but I might get sued
because I didn't write them.

For those that are interested, all the voices and sounds are from a Yamaha
keyboard, recorded using about 14 different tracks in Cakewalk 3.0.
