  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, when I play your songs on TwangCast during a reporting period, you as
the songwriter will receive credit for that and a check, maybe a small one
but a check nonetheless.

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.
