[Dixielandjazz] Who is BMI?

[Margaret Squires]

The Association of Concert Bands has something like this set up.  You pay your membership fees to them, a portion of which goest to pay ASCAP, BMI and any other combination of initials thay may want money.

    Last year I thought of a possible solution to this problem: start a 
Traditional Jazz Licensing Fee fund. Bands can
apply to this fund to get full or partial fee payments that locations can 
use to pay off ASCAP and BMI. I haven't thought through the details but it 
might be a possibility.
