 * Here is the letter we wrote to the record company asking for permission to use the song, "Hot Corn, Cold Corn" performed by David Grisman and Jerry Garcia in our video:**

May 16, 2009 Greetings,

My class has of 3,4, and 5th graders has undertaken a video project that highlights our school's organic hot lunch program. Students took photos and did video interviews that document this program. They have produced the video and published it to you tube at [|http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Nz1ADF5Sp7A] The video has audio interviews but is published as silent during the slide show. The class chose a track they would most like to include for the slideshow and are requesting permission to use the song, "Hot Corn, Cold Corn" from the CD "Not for Kids Only." Please let us know who we need to contact to seek permission for use as an educational, not for profit entity. Thanks for your help with any response to this email. Cheers, Jenny Shotts and class **And here is the reply:**

My name is Craig Miller, and I am both David Grisman's Business Manager and also in charge of Legal affairs for the record company, Acoustic Disc.

This e-mail will serve as our official notice to you that we hereby grant you and your class permission to use the controlled composition, Hot Corn, Cold Corn, published by David Grisman through Dawg Music, as well as the performance of this song contained on the Acoustic Disc CD entitled, Not For Kids Only featuring David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, for use in your not-for-profit educational slide show.

Should you require anything else from us, please feel free to contact us at any time.

My son is an elementary teacher, and David has 2 grandchildren in elementary school as well.

Please thank your students from both David & I, and please also let them know that we were delighted to hear that they wished to use our music.
