His ownership of those songs had been as tightfisted as the law would permit he frostily refused permission to reprint his lyrics even to friends working on fawning tributes. During the last several of his 101 years, Berlin faced a peculiar indignity: watching the copyrights expire on his earliest published songs. Irving Berlin was born in the nineteenth century and nearly outlived the twentieth. All the same, I hope that the tune I am about to hear is not Bing Crosby's "White Christmas".Goodbye, cruel world! Too bad that I, like my father, unlike my musical mother, am tone-deaf.
They say a hanging man hears gorgeous music. God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and then He gave Irving Berlin."White Christmas."
