PAT] It is my understanding that unlike 'pop' stations classical radio stations must purchase the recordings. IANAL, but I think some ASCAP and BMI money may go indirectly to performers; BMI was founded I think in the wake of a musician's union strike which led to a several year recording embargo. Then too many classical recordings on the market are made by Eastern European orchestras which wouldn't be in the ASCAP/BMI loop. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Herb Oxley From: address IS Valid.
