   Bruce, are you out there? I had a question for you. I've been having a series   
   of 40sessions in a hyperbaric chamber, to try to heal a wound I have. They   
   slide you into a glass tube that has a TV screen above it, and you can watch   
   Netflix and Amazon Prime    
   streams (the sessions are 2+ hours long). So I'm revisiting The Sopranos, and   
   Episode 10 (A Hit is a Hit), which I just got partway through, is the episode   
   where Christopher goes to a party of some rap producer, who talks him into   
   arranging a meeting    
   with Hesh, who from an earlier episode we know ran a recording publishing   
   company and was getting major royalties for six hits that (as Tony points out)   
   were written by Black artists, but Hesh, as the publisher, managed to get 50%   
   (I think) royalties on    
   the music. In Episode 10, my session ended just when Hesh and the rap producer   
   meet, and the rap dude started his pitch that Hesh owes those artists full   
   royalties. I'll be fascinated to see what resumes in my session tomorrow.   
      
   But my question is, since you grandfather or uncle, was it, ran Savoy records   
    (Herman Lubinsky, right?) and gained some notoriety about royalties with some   
   artists, do you think The Sopranos might have him in mind? One of the artists   
   that Hesh supposedly "stole" royalties from is said to be Little Jimmy Willis   
   ("Fools Follow    
   Angels"). Willis didn't record on Savoy or any of its subsidiaries, did he?
