Wonder what the NAMES are of those 8 people who did the recording for 
the tapes...some of them may actually be dead by now which would put 
them into an "immortalized" state on records.Gee....do those singers 
deserve royalties? Imagine every record their voices appeared on....
I would imagine they were paid a flat rate for the session, as session 
musicians tend to get, with no royalties (and often no credit), just as Welk's 
musicians probably did on the Chamberlin sessions.  I don't think Ian McDonald gets 
a royalty when one of the "Ian McD Flute" tape sets sell, or Mike Dickson 
with his "Dickstrings", or Rick Blechta with his "French Horn 2".  JB?
