Pete,

I don't know what planet you are on but I suspect it simply can't be  
earth.

Presume a writer does get $10k upfront for a commercial...... so  
what.. songwriters get much larger amounts [see STONES etc]..
[I posted days ago AACO songwriters agreed CPA needed to be paid  
accurately and BETTER.

No one has yet proved to me broadcasters do NOT pay at 1-1..........  
so how would paying jingle writers at the same level take money out  
of the 'composers' pocket.......... isn't it the other way around at  
this time ????

Hmmmmmm  my last payment for ELR was something like $20.00   still  
wanna swop?

HOWEVER........ since the cue ........ after a HUGE battle with ASCAP  
which proved the cue sheet set up was at best.... almost fraudulent  
on a global basis..........and with the assistance of my old  
adversarial chum Doug Wood........ the cue was finally registered as  
a Featured Performance.
The Publisher had messed up....... so did the all knowing 	ASCAP  
analitical service...........

we are surrounded by salaried idiots..................

BUT.......... since the ELR programme is a 'hit'  I did receive the  
approx 1/3 bonus.......  the guys who have all the cues must make out  
like bandits...........

No one has yet told me how a 'hit programme' is deduced?
Anyone know?

I'll trade every ASCAP check I get with yours Pete..... ok?
