	Marty, LZ and Eric-Peter... This Christmas CD is targeted for November ('06) distribution.
	Now that we have assembled a list of songs that we individually will totally supervise for this  Christams CD, we will use any performers, any style, any length, any instrumentation (live/synth).   We should have it ready by early Sept. 2005 for distribution November 05! Now that we have divvyed up the songs, we can discuss the cost of this and the manner of splitting of any cost/profits. Everyone will be responsible for their own songs...       choices of song       arrangements       performers       mechanical rights/permission to perform       cost relative to songs on disc(s)      I still might have a few cuts for Mike, formerly of The Hell Hounds, to sing on.  For listing of pieces that Beth, Marty and I have claimed,     click on...

There is a standard fee and if the song is longer than a certain length, there is a calculation that occurs. Almost all mechanical licenses under 2,500 units can be licensed online at The Harry Fox Agency.   You can by a 2,500 unit license four times for each song, after that they want an account for up to 10,000 CDs. You look up the song, tell them the number of units, and pay.  They email you the license.    There is typically is a per song minimum (it used to be 500 units) Anything in copyright requires a license,  If the copyright holder will let you use it free you should get a release letter from them, so you will not be liable if someone buys the copyright holder or the copyright in the future! ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Frequently click on...
