Ep. 247 Today's Peep: The Public Domain Podcast- How I Support Local Businesses While Navigating Copyright, Meteor Showers, Mail Avoidance, and the Best of 1928
From the sunlit foothills of Northern California, Pat Walsh welcomes listeners to another episode of Pat's Peeps podcast with his signature warmth and authenticity. What begins as a simple morning routine – coffee, yard work, and tackling the dreaded mail pile – quickly transforms into a delightful exploration of life's small pleasures and challenges.
As Pat attempts to multitask by smoking a cigar during recording (spoiler alert: it doesn't go well), he shares his disappointment about missing the Lyrid meteor shower despite his seemingly perfect forest viewing location. "I live out in the forest where you can see all the stars," he laments, only to discover his path lighting created too much ambient glow to spot any celestial visitors.
The heart of this episode reveals Pat's passionate commitment to supporting local enterprise through his Pat's Peeps marketplace. Listeners are treated to a showcase of extraordinary small businesses offering exclusive deals – from DC Floral Design's wooden flower arrangements to Ternero Farms' olive oil tastings and Melissa Moon's transformative wellness services. Each business comes with a compelling story and substantial savings for podcast listeners who mention Pat's Peeps when connecting.
What makes this episode particularly fascinating is Pat's clever deep dive into public domain music. He expertly explains copyright intricacies while treating listeners to vintage 1920s tunes from Ruth Edding, Helen Kane, and Duke Ellington – creating the perfect soundtrack for his small business promotions. The episode wraps with fascinating "this day in history" facts about April 22nd across different eras, from baseball's earliest days to significant world events.
Whether you're looking to support local businesses, enjoy a nostalgic musical journey, or simply spend time with a warm, engaging host who feels like a friend, this episode delivers an experience as rich and inviting as that morning coffee Pat can't start his day without.

Well, here we are once again. It is Pat's Peeps podcast, number 247. We just keep rolling along, my friends. Thank you for rolling with us. Tuesday, april 22nd 2025.
Speaker 1:Today I look out the studio windows into the beautiful foothills of Northern California, where the sunshine is absolutely gorgeous. It is another lovely day, I tell you, a beautiful, inspiring day. Hope it is for you as well. I today was able to get up and have a couple of cups. That's my little rule A couple of cups of coffee Before I do anything. Got to have my coffee, then out this morning to do some more yard work, which consisted essentially of piling up my firewood, which is in one area. Then I had to relocate it to another area. So, a good workout. In doing that, two birds one stone. Because it was a good workout and because I was productive.
Speaker 1:Also, bag of mail. I hate going through. I have to admit I don't like going through mail. It's bad, it's uh, I don't know what it is about mail. There's two things I don't really like. Well, there's more than that I could go. I got a whole. Let me see. I get a whole list here. Where do I start? No, um, ah, I can't believe it. I'm smoking a cigar for the first time in a while. I just got ashes everywhere. I don't know. I didn't. I don't know if I'm gonna continue with the cigars. Two things I don't, uh, don't like doing. I don't like mail. I don't like dealing with mail. I don't know again, I don't know what that is. And the other thing thing is taxes, mail and taxes. Now I've got to clean up all these ashes. Can you imagine Everything was going so perfect.
Speaker 1:I've learned that you can't smoke a cigar while you're doing a podcast. I always think, gee, it'd be so cool if I could do my talk show. By the way, pat Walsh, my name is Pat Walsh. I'm the host of my own talk show when I can't do this. It's the Pat Walsh Show, where you cannot smoke cigars. By the way, the podcast is tariff free. Everyone's welcome here, tariff free. But you can't smoke and do a podcast. It's not easy, see.
Speaker 1:And then I got to stop and I got to take a puff. You're like, why did he pause right there? Why did he pause Anyhow? So I don't know if I'm going to keep going down this road with the cigars, but anyone see the meteor shower last night? The meteor shower it was supposed to go from 10 pm to 4 am.
Speaker 1:Anyone go out and look at it? Last night they said to lay all the way on your back and stare up into the sky, just gaze, and then at some point, of course, you can't have any light, you can't have your phone on any of that kind of stuff and you have to be in a dark area to see it. And I always think you know my house is perfect. I live out in the forest, I can look up, I have this, as you can see all the stars up here. But the problem is I do have a sort of like an old-fashioned street light on my, uh, my stone little path that I put in coming up to my front door and, uh, it just put off too much light. I could. I was not able to see any meteors. I went out a few times. I couldn't see anything. It's a solar light. I couldn't anyhow, it's a whole thing. Anyone else see it? Anyone even go out and try? Did anyone even know that it was even going on? The Lyrid is it the Lyrid? Who am I talking to? Lyrid, meteors, whatever? So I did not get to. I did not get in on the media shower. I don't think they're gonna have that again till uh, 2042 is what I? Uh what as I understand it.
Speaker 1:Hey, by the way, you know what, today I I thought it'd be really cool because I'm always telling you about my little business aspect of this. I thought it'd be really great to kind of show you or tell you about a couple things here, and now I'm starting to get all mixed up on some things, like you know. For instance, look, I play little bits of music because I want to air quotes, educate about the song, which I do. I want to tell people about the music and who's behind it and all that. I know that some of you already probably know some of the facts, thus the air quotes, but, um, so I don't know. I just I don't want to mention businesses that are necessarily signed up for Pat's Peeps. I'm trying to walk that fine line and I'm not trying to use anyone's music to sell anything. I'm not trying to do that in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1:By the way, I did notice. Just I'm going to go off on a tangent here for a second. I noticed yesterday on the podcast. I did not post it on any of my Facebook platforms. I will go back and I will post it, probably on Pat's Peeps, because that's what it's for. On Facebook we have a Pat's Peeps page and I'm going to start including more things on there as well.
Speaker 1:But you guys have listened as much today as you would have if I would have posted it on my, on my social media. So, wow, thank you. So now what it tells me is that you're looking it up rather than just going. Oh, I see this on Pat's Facebook page and I certainly don't want to tire anyone out with posting that every day. I just kind of want people to know what's out there. But the fact you're finding it makes me very happy. So, thank you. But thank you for that, but I don't want to. I don't want to get anything tangled up, anyone going. Oh well, you're playing this music and you're promoting this. Look, all I'm trying to do is promote local business and and provide a almost a daily I say almost a daily podcast that is an extension of my radio show, the Pat Walsh Show, kpk, sacramento, 7 to 10 pm, 93.1 FM, 1530 am. That's all I'm trying to do and you know I'm always telling you about the businesses, like if you go to Pat's Peeps, about the businesses. The businesses Like, if you go to Pat's Peeps, about the businesses. And then so I started thinking, because we have so many cool things going on, I wanted to tell you about it. Then I started thinking, so I'm going to tie this all together. Then I started thinking I'll tie it together on Pat's Peeps 247.
Speaker 1:You could use public domain music Public domain. Now, what is public domain? Maybe you know Puff off the cigar. So public domain is anything which is legal, which legally has no owner, is said to be in the public domain. Once there was even a public domain land which, by the way, fun place, a fun place to take the kids during the summer. All right, kids load up, we're going to public domain land. Yay, this is just a very popular place back in the day, anyhow.
Speaker 1:But now public domain is pretty much limited to intellectual property where copyright protection has expired or the creator has formally given his work to the public. So there is no quote, official list of public domain property, because something becomes public domain due to the absence of any law giving anyone claim to ownership. In effect, as I sum this up, if no one on this entire planet can find any law which gives them. Legal claim to a property, then that property is in the public domain. Now we could get into the intellectual property, which is stimulating conversation I'm sure you want to get deep into that Any product of the human intellect where ownership can be claimed and protected by law. We could get into all the copyright stuff. Yes, where you have a copyright which is limited duration, monopoly, blah, blah, blah, provided by the US Constitution to authors, inventors and other creative individuals, absolutely, god bless America. There's royalties and all this, but things under public domain.

Speaker 1:I could go on and on and I started thinking well, now what am I going to do? Because what kind of music am I going to play? Well, I started going into the public domain. Now, this is how it kind of works. So, public domain, how can I explain this? So any song or musical work published in 1929 or earlier is in the public domain in the USA. Sound recordings released before 1926 are public domain in the USA on January 1st of 2025. Now, if you wanted to go back to songs, let's say 1928, for instance, here's the kind of music we're talking. This is the kind of music. This is actually 1929. So I'm probably still not in the public domain here.
Speaker 3:Oh, listen, big boy, now that I've talked to me, goodness but I'm afraid.
Speaker 1:But I can play like 30 seconds of it. That's awesome music. By the way, ruth Edding, button up your overcoat. Wow, remember that song. Button up your overcoat, remember that, remember that song. Button up your overcoat, remember that. Button up your overcoat when the wind is free.

No, okay, no see, because now let me clear this up, I didn't make any mistakes, because here it is Now. Hold on a second. I'm sorry, I apologize, hang on there. So 1928 songs, okay, were public domain as of January 1st of 2024. 1929 songs are public domain as of this January 2025. So we're all good on this.

Speaker 1:It got me to thinking about this day in history. What happened on this day in history? Let's take a look On this day in history. April 22nd 1876, the first National League baseball game was played. How about that? Boston Redcaps beat the Philadelphia Athletics 6-5 in the first National League baseball game. The game, which lasted a little more than two hours, played in favorable weather before 3,000 fans at the Athletics grounds, 25th and Jefferson Streets. Great interest was manifested in the result, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, as it really was the first game of importance played this season, says the Athletics should have won the game, according to the newspaper, but their fielding was poor. Betting on the game was about game, according to the newspaper, but their fielding was poor. Betting on the game was about even, according to the Inquirer. While this was the first official National League game, the teams were not the first in professional baseball. First pro team was the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. Nor was the NL the first major professional baseball league. Nor was the NL the first major professional baseball league. The first league was the National Association of Professional Baseball Players, formed in 1871.
Speaker 1:Meanwhile, other stuff from today. On this date, the Oklahoma land rush began. The Oklahoma land rush began, the Oklahoma land rush. Precisely high noon, thousands of would-be settlers made a mad dash to the newly opened Oklahoma Territory to claim cheap land. Nearly two million acres of land opened up to the white settlement was located in Indian Territory, a large area that once encompassed much of modern-day Oklahoma. It's a great tune, diggy, diggy do. Duke Ellington and his orchestra in 1928.
Speaker 1:There's a couple of other things that happened on this date in history. Uh one, oh geez. Other things that happened on this date in history. One the Germans in 1915, april 22nd 1915, the Germans introduced poison gas. Dark day, dark day in history. April 22nd 1915.
Speaker 1:German forces shocked the allied for soldiers along the western front, firing more than 150 tons of lethal chlorine gas against two french colonial divisions in belgium the first major gas attack by the Germans and it devastated the Allied line. Toxic smoke had been used occasionally in warfare since ancient times and in 1912, the French used small amounts of tear gas in police operations. At the outbreak of World War I, the Germans began actively to develop chemical weapons. October 1914, the Germans placed some small tear gas canisters in shells. They were fired in France. Allied troops were not exposed at the Neuve Chapel in France. In January 1915, the Germans fired shells loaded with with lethal gas at Russian troops on the Eastern Front. Because of the wintry cold, most of the gas froze. The Russians nonetheless reported more than 1,000 killed as a result of this new weapon.
Speaker 1:Anyhow. And then in a bizarre I mean it's just amazing that when you read some of the things that happened, you know in this day in the history, ohio criminalizes seduction by male teachers. Ohio passed a statute. This was let me see, this was in 1886. Can you imagine? 1886 passed a statute that criminalizes seduction by all men over the age of 18 who worked as teachers or instructors of women. The law even prohibited men from having consensual sex with women of any age whom they were instructing, and the penalty for disobeying this law ranged from two to ten years in prison.
Speaker 1:The Ohio seduction law was not the first of its kind. Virginia law made it illegal for a man to have a sex in intimate relations with any unmarried female of previous. Excuse me, excuse me, a man did so by promising to marry the girl. If the man did so, by promoting promising to marry the girl. So, in other words, if you had sex because you promised to marry her, that was the whole thing. 1848, new York law made it illegal, under the promise of marriage, to seduce any unmarried female a previous character, excuse me.
Speaker 1:Anyhow, let's see what else do we have. 1928, crazy Rhythm. Here's Roger Wolf Kahn Crazy Rhythm. This is in public domain. We are looking for more businesses. I'll tell you what at the Pat's Peeps, we don't want everyone, we just want people that are local, that are doing really, really good things. That's who we're looking for. So I hope you don't mind me talking about the businesses today. I really, you know, and I did it right, I played public domain, so I'm going to leave it at this. On this podcast, which I love this, by the way. You know what I'd love to hear this on a 78 record, old fashioned turntable 78, where you can kind of hear the cracks and the pops in it a little bit. I just think it adds character, particularly to this type of music. If you'd like to be a Pats Peeps business, let us know. We would love to talk to you. I hope that you have a wonderful day, a wonderful Tuesday. I thank you for listening and we'll see you on the radio.
Speaker 5:Here is where we have a showdown. I'm too high-hat, you're too low-down. Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye to you. They say that when a highbrow meets a lowbrow walking along Broadway, Soon the highbrow, he has no brow. Ain't it a shame? And you're to blame. What's the use of prohibition? You produce the same condition. Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too.
