“Happy Birthday to You”

Who would have known? I certainly didn’t! The one song that sticks with us all from childhood and through our adult lives — only to be handed down to the next generations — has an owner? Well, apparently that is being challenged. The following link details recent lawsuits currently in play to determine proper ownership if any. Very interesting… I’ll be curious to see what rulings are made in the coming months, if they’re not out already.
