Wow John - thanks - that was quick response.
Unfortunately, I composed the melody for him with his lyrics - actually made a recording of it with a vocal/melody and sent him an MP3 draft of it - he wanted to send me more of his lyrics (glad I declined). I guess I might as well delete the whole thing off my drive and just "slap myself" for being ignorant. For what it's worth... I would give the lyricist equal credit (if you use it). Your melody was guided by his lyrics. Or start from scratch on your own melody. As far as compensation goes, split the PRO royalty and come to an agreement on upfront money (such as CD's). In the future be careful in situations like this. Choose wisely. Cal Francis DiFalco is my lyricist. He's like a brother. We've collaborated for years - with never any problems. Good luck, John
