[Fmpro] Drama King-25% ???

[Chris Alpiar]

I strongly urge you to say no Dave! I know life is hard as a composer and 
turning down a job when someone pays you interest is HARD. I understand, 
really I do. But please for your sense of personal peace and for the sake of 
composers everywhere, tell David Scheffler of Drama King to stick his 
contract so far up his butt he can taste the ink! :-)

Good Luck!

Chris
