   Dave:  Forget about royalties and license fees.  Only the big labels 
bother with that s...   Cancel those license fees if you can.  This is all a 
songwriters scam but not really their scam as those songs were sold off long 
ago to lawyers who still scam fees and royalties out of them.

   I assure you that none of us who have recordings out and are on a lot of 
recordings ever paid any royalties or fees.

I've been involved in several CD projects in the past and, with regards to 
paying publishers royalities or licenses, it's always been "no problem, the 
songs are too old to worry about, etc. etc...." 
 
So, what do you think? Thanks, gang!
