[BC] SESAC, BMI, ASCAP

[Dwight Morgan]

We own a bar/restaurant here in Fountain Hills, Arizona, and we usually have some live music in the Fall, Winter months when we are in our busy times.  We have owned the Saddle Bronc Grill for 2 1/2 years and have put up with the "shake down" of SESAC, BMI, and ASCAP and paid the dues every year. 

This year our bill was doubled to $2,400. and we are done playing "live" music.  Of course they argued and harassed us to pay and will probably sue us or spy to make sure we are true to our word.  The only music we will play from now on is through the DIRECT TV satellite music channel.  As a radio engineer and restaurant owner I'm ashamed of the antics of ASCAP, BMI and SESAC.  I'm done with them!
