Bill, you AGAIN completely misinterpreted my statement, even after you quoted it...amazing! Haze IS NOT REQUESTING TO BE PAID FOR HIS MELODY...THAT IS COWRITE...HE IS REQUESTING TO BE PAID SEPERATELY FOR HIS MUSICATION/PERFORMANCE/RECORDING/MIXING AND DELIVERANCE OF THE FINAL PRODUCT!!! Because he is who he is, he has deserved the right to ask that. At a measly $150 for guitar/vocal (and he often adds so much more), many people think that's BEYOND fair, and again, who WOULDN'T want him on their song as a cowrite???

I just don't know where you're coming from, Bill. Do me a favor, go listen to www.soundclick.com/pollyhager and listen to "Burned", "One Together", "Man of Mine", "Rotten Candy" (although that one Joe Wrabek wrote, bless his heart, and SORT OF guided us to a melody, Larry "Haze" played the instruments and re-vamped the melody), and remember that these people came with us with JUST WORDS (Man of Mine...Dave provided a "clue" of a melody). Haze took these "slabs of stone" and carved them into viable songs. Often, he added even more instrumentation than what these people paid for. Always, he spent way too many hours making the songs the best they could be. How is the lyric, IN ANY OF THESE SONGS, better or more important than the instrumentation, melody, and performance? Please tell me! In fact, how could any of these lyrics been enough to stand on their own?
