Gary. I knew all along our system wasn't perfect, and yes, it was a little dissapoining to find out after all this time, it is even less perfect that I thought.
Never mind.
Where I had stopped putting my songs I do live in the returns because I was worried about the musos I use to back me getting slapped for not complying, I can now do it at will, and probably sing more to make up for lost time, and only use backing tracks on the ones I cna't just tell them what to play for me to float along to.
One thing about being in a pro, even knowing it isn't perfect, a person can lobby them a bit more effectivly, and given they send the yearly newsletter out, a person is aware of what is going on.
And APRA do have competition, and good paying ones at that, and members are also notified when these are happening.
Your pros may well have something similar.
