Sounds like you probably don't get too many returns anymore, Matt.So will all those Oprah cues disappear from activity after a while, or will you have the oppotunity to pitch them to others when Oprah is through with them?Is Oprah the kind of show that does much in re-run business? Seems like shows that profile current events wouldn't have much success in re-runs.

Way to go Matt! You continue to be my inspiration! Dave

It's a work for hire agreement. Once it goes to her it becomes "non-re-pitchable".Mazz

When it rains it pours, right Matt? Glad you're having great success with your music..
