No I don't Mmario, the poor bloody musicians arealways last in line, don't I know it.But whatI, and I presume Harvey Andrews, are objecting to is the use of terms like Hooray andHuzzah to applaud the defeat of a measure designd, however imperfectly, to help musicians to get paid for their work: because we feel as professional musicians we've got as much right to get paid for our work as the practioners of whatever other jobs are done by fellow Mudcatters. Those Hoorays and Huzzahs are deeply hurtful, believe it or not, it's the glee that does it.My electricity bill just arrived. Now, an extra £20 on my royalty cheque would be bloody wonderful.
