LAST tangent..

Mike, I cannot fathom what legal principle the musicians would use to justify any claim to a track where their performances were recorded. The writer pays them to perform. They didn't write anything whatsoever. Again, unless there is some sort of union imposing rules, by *default*, I don't see how the musicians would really have a position.
