So here's the reply I recived today from the HFA, though nothing yet from our friends at OurStage.

Dear Michael,

The nature of your request requires a synchronization license, an authorization to use recorded music in combination with visual images such as film, television, video, web sites, video games and the like.

HFA ceased providing synchronization license services in 2002. However, you may secure synchronization rights by contacting the publisher directly. You can use the following databases to locate publisher contact information:

Best Regards,

Ok, I think that may be true IF I was making a video to post on OurStage, but they seem to have completely ignored my question about what kind of license to get for streaming a cover song, which is closer to a digital/mechanical license then to a Synch license. In short, I should have added:
Song will not be used in video.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting to hear back from the folks at OurStage.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself. -- Johann Sebastian Bach
