hms42A song I recorded for Roberta Rogow is a retelling of an urban legend. She mentioned that she had gotten the story from a book of Urban legends and did a retelling of that story as a filk song.
What I am wondering is.... Should I be contacting the author of the urban legend book for permission to use the song on a CD or for posting to filk archive.
Mostly the permissions I am wanting to get (and wondering if I need their permission) are permission to post the song to the filk archive (eventually) and for putting it on a filk CD. (Roberta's next CD being the main one planned for, but potentially a convention/compilation CD, too.) A copy of the CD(s) would be sent to the author as a standard thank you for permission and their archives if their permission is required.
I do have the author's name and book name so I can try to contact them via their publisher (or the fanish community if a contact exists.)
The song in question is 'The Woman in the Snow' which Roberta has performed at a few conventions including Worldcon 2008.
