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....

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?

>> Rick Blechta with his "French Horn 2". > > Rick never gets the horn and hence never gets royalties. > Contrary to what Mike says, I do get royalties from Streetly for the French horn set. For each set sold they send me a photo of Mike Dickson. So far, I have a large box filled with these horrible things. Recently, to stem the tide, I have become actively involved encouraging people NOT to buy the French horn set, but still they do -- IN DROVES! It is a horrible thing to contemplate. Please DO NOT buy my French horn recording from Streetly! Might I instead suggest the trumpet? It is really quite nice (especially that high F) and the outcome will be that Streetly will not send me yet ANOTHER photo of Mike Dickson. I have tried to toss them out, but even the garbage men won't take 'em. "Not in our truck, mate!" they say, and laugh at me as they drive off. Rick

If you order Dickstrings from Streetly, do you get a photo of Rick Blechta ?? What set of tapes does one need to order to get a photo of Martinge ?? Thinking(stinking) out loud again......JK
