GUEST,reggie miles Contract (6) RE: Contract 16 Mar 04


Well, here's one. I've been using this myself. It was offered at a website, produced for Utah Phillips by a fan of his, and as service to those who needed to know what a basic contract should look like. It posted under the heading Contracts 101. According to the website Utah used this contract, and, who knows, he may still. Just fill in all of the necessary [ ___ ]s and your good to go. You may also want to alter the Rider section to suit your taste. ;O)
