A song of mine is being used in a radio commercial.
Okay, so it's a local spot. A VERY local spot (just in the far north suburbs of Chicago). And it's a spot for a friend's restaurant. But, it's still exposure and he's still paying me.

That's a first for me.

I tried telling him that I didn't want to take his money, as he needs every penny that he has, opening a new restaurant. But he is insisting. So... I'm getting paid.

And, FYI, if you're curious:
It's an instrumental from the new album that he just thought sounded "right" for the spot. A strange, strange instrumental. But people seem to like it.

Awesome.

2-step?

yep
thanks for your work on that one!

Is Toots getting a piece of the action?

He mixed it, but he already got paid.
So, the money from this spot paid for Toots' services.

sweet dude. recoupment is always good

make sure the song is registered and prepare to roll around on a bedfull of performance royalties.

scrooge mcDuck-style!
