In a message dated 99-02-02 20:08:56 EST, you write: GM's asking the musicians to waive their rights to compensation for these broadcasts: "send us your stuff and if you let us air it for free and sign a waiver to that effect, we'll air it for free." Presumably, that waiver is the price they're being asked to pay in order to have access to potential buyers, bookers, etc. - with all the drawbacks that Mike Hays points out. Kind of like showcases at big music festivals, eh? G, that makes me mad when some one as cool as Mike Hays can just come out and tell you it's a measly 750 a year to recognize the contribution of the musicians to a project that revolves around the, uh, MUSICIANS. And these dudes want you to act like you're just a plant in the corner... Elena

Thanks for clearing that up Mike, and thanks for playing my songs. I read your other post explaining the intial outlay of cash to ASCAP and BMI you had to make, again thanks for remembering us struggling, looking-under-the-sofa- cushion-for-busfare muscians. If these guys at Global Media are really serious why don't they just do it as professionally as you are, and fork over the dough to set the thing straight and true for the musicians? Just wish my ancient computer could download the stuff necessary to tune into your station, but that too will come with time. Thanks Mike, Elena

I am one of you in the struggling musician category. It is because of folks like Mike Hays that I got my second BMI royalty check in the mail this week, albeit for a whopping $5.58. I am planning to spend every damn bit of it in tip jars for local bands. Will the circle be unbroken. Thanks to all our radio folks on P2. We who play whether for fun or profit appreciate your support. Slim
