Q.
When do I pay you royalties?
A.
Whenever you perform my work. My rates will suit your
needs.
Q.
When can I use your work and not pay royalties?
A.
It's easy, just ask for permission. What's in the Highest and
Best Good for all concerned? Maybe it's in your Highest and
Best Good to be a modern pirate. Argh, mate-y!
Q.
When do I pay you a licensing fee?
A.
Whenever you publish my work; such as making photocopies
of
my sheet music, or burning a copy of my CDs for your friends,
or
putting one of my graphics on a T-shirt.
Q.
What publisher's association do you belong to?
A.
Spirit & Karma is my clearing house.
Q.
Why do I pay you royalties?
A.
When you pay me royalties for my creative work, we enter
the flow of circulation. Circulating money is creativity in action
and when we are flowing together, we increase our capacity to
give. Consequently, we both receive more because when we
give, we make room in our minds to receive more. How can
Spirit give us more if we are grasping and clinging so tightly to
that which we hold.
The best things in life are indeed free, but we pay for
everything
with spiritual coin. If I didn't have bills to pay, I wouldn't even
bother
with this page on my website. Can you imagine raising your
family
singing a nice song and drawing a pretty picture for someone?
Spirit-gifted talent is merely potential. What we do with our
unique, precious gift is all in the making! What good are airy-
fairy
ideas? We all have a thousand grand ideas every day! I am
committed to invest in myself to develop my skills so as to
create a
greater capacity to give to whomever, whenever, however. It
brings
me great joy to meet this Higher purpose springing forth from
within
me, through me, as me.
It takes vision, sacrifice, commitment, work, attention to
detail and the resources of many people to create something of
value. If we can fulfill our dreams all by ourself, we need to
have bigger dreams! I
have spent many years, indeed my entire life, playing piano and
taking
music lessons. My parents and friends have invested a lot of
time, energy and money in me to support me in manifesting
my creative work. I would like to give back to them and you
can help me do that by paying me royalties.
To me, as an artist, being engaged in the act of making art is
the
perfect vehicle to transcend the mundane. I have lifted myself
up
many times out of low states of mind through my creative
process.
Maybe it can work for you, too. I hope sharing my work lifts
us—you,
my audience, and me—into higher realms of consciousness;
particularly joy and gratitude. When we are in such a state of
delight,
we are open to miracles! When we are open to the Infinite, our
lives
transform from one glory to another...

Notice how this page is grey...So is the application of the law.
Lawyers like that. It gives them something to do.
I reserve all rights to my work and offer this website to share it with you.
Sharing is a two-way street: To give is to receive. To receive is to give.
Fun, isn't it?! 'Round and 'round we go...
