[Fmpro] 1331 isn't 1337

[chris@alpiar.com]

Oh I KNOW it has been hah. I have seen/heard it

Why do you think I am motivated to crack this nut?

Coming from a Jazz background where I played and toured for many years, I was in the horn section or as a sideman as a sax player on literally around 500 recording sessions. As an uneducated jazz sax player I never had any idea that I had rights to anything more than the cash being paid to me. I wasnt in AFM since AFM was only for broadway and classical really, or the top 100 names in jazz maybe (maybe). So as I have been building my writing carreer for the last 6 or 7 years I have been trying to figure out why, now that I am ascap, do I not get paid for the stuff I am putting out there. I just assumed that (read earlier posts of mine) ad music gets no royalty and local show music and stuff played on npr doest count

I don;t think I would have a ton of money from royalty yet anyhow, as I probably only have music on 40 or so regional radio ads and a smattering of short films and an animation series that went bust after its first few episodes since I joined

But I am not blind and I want to see that my future as a instrumental music composer (and songwriter too but really composer) has some basic security. So thats why I am interested. Plus I am a sucker for hopeless causes ;-D (joke!)
