hi

in answer to your question i would like to bring to the attention of listees 
that i have the misfortune of having one of my arrangements published by a 
very well known BB publishing company, and as to date (its been out about 7 
years now) I have not received a penny from them.  

I would also like to add that the company who now publish my music has been 
very kind and offered me a very good deal with which I am very happy.  They 
also keep me informed as to number sold and any interest in my music.  
(Thanks Nigel)

I suppose the moral of the story is that you must be careful as with anything 
in life.  It may be that no one has purchaced my music and that is why I have 
received nothing from that company.   I know one thing though, I won't make 
the same mistake again, and they won't be publishing any more of my stuff.

regards to all

John Davis
