I appreciate the way you write on that subject, and sometimes I need to review that in my mind… like this week of work, for example. In the specific area of music, an understanding of just mechanical licensing would provide our people several millions of dollars both as legal licensees (that is, take that talent and just rock any existing song as only we can, without fear of lawsuit) and eventually as LICENSORS, reaping the benefits of making our music widely available and easy to pay for. The mechanisms are in place; we just need to use them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting; I appreciate it.

Deeann. A lot of times we don’t realize how simple things are because of the way we think. Our fears stop us in our tracts from doing the things we really want to do, not realizing that fear of doing something is just a thought and not reality until we act or don’t act on it. A lot of our people are afraid of coming together because of the the different fears they have, even though it would help them.
