If You Know a Musician on This List,

[rostasi]

Just came across this. The deadline passed two weeks ago,

but it still could be helpful. It seems that you'll have to do a Google news search

for the newspaper article that's mentioned, but the main article is still interesting and self-explanatory.

You'll come across some surprising names here:

A Last Minute Appeal

[GA Russell]

I see The Hi-Lo's and Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim. Hard to believe.

[bertrand]

Damn. Lee Morgan's on the list.

Bertrand.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Can it be legal for a firm to collect money on behalf of musicians (therefore implicitly acting as their agent) and then to say that anyone who doesn't sign up by a specific date has had it?

MG

[marcello]

This is a Government sponsored and created organization set up to collect royalities on digital performances on behalf of artists.

[rostasi]

Damn. Lee Morgan's on the list.

It can be a long read, but there are some well-known names there.

I think the first that I noticed was Roy Haynes.

[ValerieB]

i remember hearing long ago that it was also a ploy for the union to collect delinquent dues! don't know, however, what truth there is in that.

[bertrand]

I think Lee Morgan is way behind on his dues

Bertrand.

[Neal Pomea]

Disconnected phones for James P. Johnson, Bunk Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, and Johnny Dodds...

[flat5]

Some of these people are not hard to find. Barbara Higby for one.

[Jazz Kat]

Damn, I'm on that list! Where do I go to get my money!!!!!! Also, Jimmy Smith is there.

[sidewinder]

Incredible that Buster Williams and Courtney Pine are on that list. Just for starters.

[Kalo]

Wake the dead...

... alert the living.

[Kalo]

Y'all are OWED!

[Spontooneous]

Next time I see Son House or Lucille Hegamin at the Safeway, I'll be sure to let them know.

You see them, too?

Maybe we should talk.
