[Fmpro] French Radio anyone???

[Claude Castonguay]

Hi Les,

well they never said anything to the contrary when i mentioned i  
wanted to file a declaration for Animation Series i had done has a  
composer/player. The stuff plays on FR3 and other channels (mainly  
cable). Sometimes they are a bit protectionist about the money they  
send out to foreigners, but i thought that the fact the series i had  
done where produced by the French would help...It seems not. Sure i  
should and will give it another shot but honestly there trying to  
kill me softly...if you know what i mean. 4 to 6 times of writing  
them Letters, calling, e-mailing...never an answer, and when they do  
they usually find a bureaucratic way of of sending me back to the end  
of the line.

If i were still touring i would definitely go knock on their door in  
person. Next time i go to Paris i'll surely pass by 16 rue Amélie = ;  
o )

Best,

Claude
