I am in the process of reviewing your contract.

Can you kindly explain the following clause:

Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX.COM.

and how I can accomplish this?

to me

Hello Ray,

As long as BMI didn't give you the go by email you won't be able to access XXXXXXX.

The first step is to write to BMI and wait for their answer, like we explained in our last email.

Cheers,

The Music Team

at XXXXXXX.com

Thank you very much. I did understand that item from your previous email.

I am currently reviewing your contract and requested an explanation of the clause,

"Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX .COM"

This reminds me of the dilemma, 'I can't be hired without experience while I have no experience

because no one will hire me'

Can you kindly clarify how I get (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com, if I

cannot register with XXXXXXX without (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing . . .

. . . new

(from Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood)
". . . since the Middle Ages the people had struggled to wrest their rights from the twin tyrannies of power - monarchs and the church. For centuries the great had exploited the ignorance and timidity of ordinary people in order to dominate and oppress them. When government was properly restrained by respect for the people's rights, it could be a useful force for good. "But when such restraints are taken off, it becomes an incroaching (sic), grasping, restless and ungovernable power.". . . "

Third . . .

. . . hand

Heard somebody say
They overheard you
Just the other day
A simple word
About the way we get along
If only I were sure
Of the semantics
Having doubts 'cause I'm
One hopeless romantic
Could it be
You're slipping away from me

What will I do
If what I'm thinking is true
And you want to be
Really free of me
I won't last very long
Very far from your heart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Heard somebody say
They thought they saw you
Walking in their way
You were not alone
They said he didn't look like
Thinking to myself
Must be mistaken
Try not to believe
but still badly shaken
Why would you
Deceive me in things you do

So many years
Sharing our laughter and tears
Lasted very long
Maybe I was wrong
Not to ask you
Why you feel
We've drifted apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Are my sources reliable
Wait and see
Wait and see
Is my psyche too pliable
It could be
It could be

If somebody said
The sky was falling
Would you believe it's true
And change your direction
From spinning round
When it hits the ground
That's just not true
Any believers are few
When you've seen it all
It could never fall

Any more than
I think you could
Tear us apart
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts

Genius . . .

. . . ????

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/donors-trump-inaugural-committee-got-ambassador-nominations-are-they-qualified-n990116)

". . . When President Donald Trump's pick for ambassador to the Bahamas testified before Congress to make the case for his nomination, he incorrectly stated that the island nation was part of the U.S. It is an independent country. . . For ambassador to the United Arab Emirates — a job so sensitive in the tense Middle East that every previous president gave it to a career diplomat — Trump picked a wealthy real estate developer with no diplomatic experience. . . The ambassador to Morocco? A well-heeled car dealer. The nominee for Iceland? While well-traveled, he had never been to that Nordic country. For Melania Trump's native country of Slovenia? The founder of an evangelical charity who frequently reposted false far-right social media posts on her Facebook page. . . None have diplomatic experience, but they share one trait: All were big donors to Trump's presidential inaugural committee, which is now under federal investigation. . . "

"They wanted an insurance policy against me,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity, referring to former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, who upset him previously over anti-Trump campaign texts. “And what we were playing out until just recently was the insurance policy. They wanted to do a subversion. It was treason ... We can never allow these treasonous acts happen to another president."
