This is the first time we did this and he kind of just popped it on us right before we were about to record. so, i will suggest this to my band mates and try really hard to look for him. thanks again.

i quote: "in exchange for above mentioned services rendered to music ensemble I am accepting an equal percentage of all royalties and rights associated with the use of the above cello arrangement in all present and future recordings and publishing venues with above music ensemble." the question is n...

hello, we are putting out an lp soon and have a song where we had someone play cello on it. Does anyone know what the royalty situation is? so there's about 14 songs on it, and there's only one where this cellist is playing. we signed something concerning the arrangement he made up and the song...al...
