RE: re--do i need a copy right license to submit a cover song for compilation

["adams, john" <adams_john@xxxxxxx>]

I tried one of the covers we do, Hoochi Coochi Man (Gal in our case) and it
says that the minimum is 500, and the cost is $50 for just the one song, I
don't know if I would call that very little, not at least for us.

In trying to assist you, let me verify your question. It seems you want 
to record a cover of a song that was written and recorded by someone 
else so that you can put it on a cd of your own.,,,,,,,

If this is the case, the solution and legal recourse is very easy.

Go to

Songfile.com.

type in the song you want to cover, it will come up. Then you will type 
in how many copies you intend to print and it calculates the cost (it 
is very little) and you put in your credit card number and, viola, you 
are now legally permitted to sell your copies of someone else's songs!!

I have a song from Elton John that I used on my Harmonica Dreams CD. 
This is a great site that is designed to simplify our lives.

peace and harps,
