Fwd: Lori - Flory Jagoda question



Thought the listserv would like to hear how this was resolved.  Lori

Thanks so much for the contact information for Flory
Jagoda!  I just spoke to her - she's very sweet, and
was actually quite thrilled to hear we did a rendition
of "Ocho Kandelikas" (not that I was ever aware it was
her song when we recorded it).

She didn't even care that the royalty check due to her
is for $50  - she was just happy that we're
acknowledging her at all.  She hopes to meet me
in-person at her LA concert next week!

Gracias otra vez.

-Josh
