Shannon Bunch Music Flies the Friendly Skies
I receive quarterly broadcast royalty checks from BMI for any song that I have written and/or published that is receiving airplay through any media venue. BMI is a royalty collection agency with which I have both writer and publisher affiliations. They are responsible for monitoring and logging music that is played at radio, tv, downloaded, used as background music, and yes what is being played and listened to by passengers on airlines! Imagine my surprise when I recently received my royalty statement to see my music is currently being played on several major airlines! Now for my twisted slant on the details. The songs which were logged on this report were The Harvest Is Ripe (which if you are flying low enough to know this you have either just taken off, just landed or bracing for impact), It All Starts with a Song (if your flight starts with a song with what does it end?), One Lamb, One Cross, One Time (this song is all about sacrifice and the death of a man, need I say more?). Even I can make jokes about my own music. That is a virtue of a great writer! LOL! By the way, this airline royalty made me an extra $1.28. What shall I do with all the money?
