sharyn BMI Licensing Query - song isn't on Harryfox (12) BMI Licensing Query 30 Jan 09

Another licensing question as I wade through the quagmire of mechanical licensing. A certain artist has a song listed in the BMI repertoire list. I know who the artist's publisher is and have contacted the publisher via email on publisher's website but have not received any reply.

Meanwhile, the artist himself wrote to me and said if I am "self-releasing" I do not need to pay for a mechanical license.

As usual, I am trying to do the right thing -- I don't mind paying for the license, I just don't know how to do it since BMI refers to Harry Fox Agency, but HFA doesn't have the song. BMI has it, but does not license. Bug Music has itm but does not respond.

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do to resolve the licensing issue?

Help, please

Thanks,

Sharyn
