GUEST,Patty ASCAP/BMI killing local gigs (52* d) RE: ASCAP/BMI killing local gigs 21 Aug 09

I'm getting harassment letters and having Bill Veazey, Jr. drop by in person to drop off a pre-printed agreement with my name and coffee house info. on it, demanding the annual fee of $332 for the local musicians to play at my small coffee house. This person is threatening me with pursuing legal means if I were to still have Live Music Nights. I think I will ask for the "Auditors" as Bill called the people who randomly shows up during these rare nights that I actually have LIVE music, to provide me with the printouts of songs that they have licenses for, and will ask my "up and coming" local bands to not play those songs. It's like "Licensing Mafia"!
