[Fmpro] Marinho's ASCAP

[bipcress@comcast.net]

By the way, speaking of the "artistic" side of things, I have a discussion 
board dedicated to Euro-cult film music called The European Film Score 
Society. Mostly comprised of connoisseurs and collectors, we are constantly 
raking over the coals about which scores are magnificent, and what stuff 
just doesn't float. Feel free to give it a look, or even join in the 
madness: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eurofilmscoresociety/
