   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.

   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?   
      
   He might be found on the 1950s music group I recall...
