| REcording session...
I played a recording session for a local blues act. The manager took over a YEART to pay me! I hounded him for a while, then let it go. Once I found he had released the CD with MY name on it and posted the CD files to his website,again with my name on it, I started emailing him again. I threatened to sue him. Since my name was on the CD's I was going to call for the recall of his CD as part of the suit. I suggested that it would be a lot cheaper to just pay me than it would be to litigate the suit, even if I lost. My wife is a lawyer, you see, so legal fees wouldn't be a hassle for me. I made this clear to him, too. I got paid within a week of the first email about this. He even added $20 for the wait. He then said I was being a hard guy on him. I told him, I didn't care whatr he thought.
I had prepared to walk away from this, but I got lucky when he went ahead and released the CD. I have been stiffed before. You do the best you can, but sometimes you'll have to just let it go and move on making a note to not work for that guy again.
Sorry about the problems. Hang in there.
