[Fmpro] 1:1 finer points

[LesHurdle]

Ooops.......  I guess I'm getting posts backwards.

Pete..........  why do you think your 'score music is of more value  
than a 'jingle' given your score music generates no income [per se].

I argues the movement of songwriters to BMi with Doug Wood years  
ago... he was horrified..... couldn't see the wood [no pun] for the  
trees.
Let them go.. what is left is OURS... hey... did you all listen to  
the Willard Hoyt mp3 about 1-1............ no of-course you didn't [I  
wonder why]............   Local TV broadcasters pay at 1-1..........  
and since CPA is in excess of 50% of the market...........  
yeah........ more $$'s for us.
