Fine print, in which I presume somebody likes this: Feel free to use as you like, as long as you don’t run afoul of the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Canada License I’m using.

If you want to use it on a record, please let me know. If you play it at a show and record it, I’d love to hear what you do with it.
