Liz, maybe that's why they didn't use Stevie Wonder in the first place. 

Now, I will stand by what I said earlier... that was either Stevie Wonder his by god self or the best damn Stevie Wonder impression I ever heard.... Brendan, that was damn fine, buddy. You totally fooled me...

I don't know, Brendan...but merely getting paid a flat fee for one session  
doesn't seem to be quite sufficient if what you did was for a commercial 
which  will be played constantly on American Television (or was it Radio...did 
Randy  say?)....

I remember when I worked in advertising. The people who did voiceovers  
(including the musicians) were paid royalties for every airing of the  
commercials and it was my job to ensure the money came in from the Clients and  was 
sent out to the artists.  Rarely were flat fees paid for commercials  for 
the Bigger corporations (such as banks, etc.)  That was a long time  
ago..before my legal work but it might be something work looking into.  Especially 
if the public is perceiving the player to be Stevie  Wonder?

I have an idea that could be  me... I haven't heard the ad yet, but I
recently did a session for an  American producer on the Brand New Day track,
so it rings a bell.

I  was contacted three weeks ago via the e-Session website by a producer
called  Danny Blume, wanting a Stevie-style chrom track over his version of
Brand New  Day. I did two takes in my home studio in Canterbury UK and
emailed them to  him. He was happy, I got paid and that's the last I heard.

Can someone  send me an MP3 of the ad? I'd love to hear it.

Cheers,
