Yes Phil, you should join a PRO so you can start figuring out how much you should be paying out to your self. And you can also go around to everyplace that the song has been played (both of them) and start adding up how much that is owed. I would say, that a couple million more plays and you can start collecting two or three hundred thousandths of a cent. Of course, you also have to SHARE THAT, so make sure you get a check to RiDawn and myself.

Make sure you have copywritten that, and have flied all the registrations on it. Probably will only cost you six or seven thousand more dollars in order to make twenty two cents over a decade collected. 

Go ahead and join a PRO. Also make sure the places it was performed PAY ASCAP and BMI fees, and collect on music. Another ten or twelve thousand bucks to an accountant to make sure everything is legal. So go ahead and put in twenty thousand dollars and you can get less than a dollar in performance royalties. Check back in with us about the numbers on that will ya? We'll be waiting to hear about it. Oh yeah, since RiDawn has not done the song since last year, it may take a while to add all that up, so you might be able to collect all that within five or six years.

Good luck,

MAB
