Part of that plan includes a little time in the LA area where I'll be stopping by Taxi for a visit and to pay back the 2-cents I owe to Jon Thomas at Taxi for the postage stamp he loaned me to get my critique back to me after the postage rates went up. While we're there, I'll help you celebrate by letting you take my family and I out to lunch with your "windfall". Spago? Dave

I've had mystery checks come in from ASCAP for a similar amount recently. It seems a USC student film I scored got somehow "bundled" with a film that got screened at Sundance, and was shown on PBS. I don't quite understand, but $5 is $5!Ern

I finally made money from cd baby downloads. A whopping $20. Look out Dairy Queen.... splurge time. Some folks must've mistaked my music with "Yodelings greatest hits"
