RESPONSES TO &#8220;POLLINATION&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How much of OUR dollars has the current administration SPENT<br \/>\nto tell US HOW &#038; WHAT they want US to vote their way?!?<br \/>\nI am sure that the monies the current administration has spent<br \/>\nto persuade us HOW to vote, and how to THINK their way would<br \/>\nhave repaired OUR fine old Union building.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the MORE our union leaders need money to pay,<br \/>\namong other things, their high, fine salaries, the MORE we<br \/>\nNEED to SELL the building.<\/p>\n<p>So what happens when they spend all that money? Do they<br \/>\nhave an answer to the DIMINISHING REVENUES coming in<br \/>\nthe form of Work and Yearly dues?<\/p>\n<p>Do Mssrs. Acosta, Baptist, and our Secretary\/Treasurer have<br \/>\nany answers, MAGIC OR REASONABLE, to revive the work that<br \/>\nhas disappeared from Hollywood&#8217;s Sound Stages? Do you wonder<br \/>\nat why Rick Baptist stopped playing the trumpet for fun &#038; profit,<br \/>\nand ran for Union office? He is a very intelligent person, and saw<br \/>\nwhat has happened to our sources of income as many studio<br \/>\nplayers have found out, the hard way.<\/p>\n<p>I was both lucky, and fortunate, to have worked in the business<br \/>\nfrom my first record date with Val Alexander in 1959, till thirty<br \/>\nor so years later, when President Bernie Fleischer hired me soon<br \/>\nafter as a recording rep. I wanted to keep playing, but I realized<br \/>\nit was time and I had to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Some time later, Max Herman asked me to run of V.P., and I<br \/>\naccepted, thankfully &#038; gladly. As long as you get called to<br \/>\nwork, and make a living at playing, music prep, writing,<br \/>\nproducing, contracting, or whatever you do in the music<br \/>\nbusiness, it&#8217;s usually fun, and great, and we all want to keep<br \/>\ndoing it, right? I did it as long as the phone rang!<\/p>\n<p>I was a member of the recording fraternity for many years,<br \/>\nand as a UNION OFFICER I saw the loss of work happening.<br \/>\nI learned first hand, what many producers, and industry<br \/>\nmovers &#038; shakers wanted to get rid of; Secondary payments!<\/p>\n<p>You may not like it, but that&#8217;s the truth. If you don&#8217;t believe,<br \/>\nask the people that know\u008a people who work with industry,<br \/>\nsuch as Jay Cooper. <\/p>\n<p>My own first hand encounter of this was when I contacted<br \/>\nthe talented composer, Michael Kamen, who is no longer<br \/>\nwith us, to ask why he was scoring &#8220;Die Hard With a<br \/>\nVengeance&#8221; in Seattle. He told me how much he loved<br \/>\nrecording here in Los Angeles, but it because of the producers.\u008a<br \/>\nMy secretary spent most of the week plowing through all the<br \/>\nA.D.&#8217;s Secretaries, Special Assistants, etc., till I got Andy<br \/>\nVagna on the phone. I told him that I&#8217;d heard that his company<br \/>\ntrucked all the necessary equipment to Seattle, installed it in<br \/>\na church or chapel that was supposed to have acoustics as<br \/>\ngood as Fox or MGM, but blew out every fuse, circuit breaker, etc.,<br \/>\nin the place. Then, after it had all been repaired, the SeattleOrch.<br \/>\nwhich is no longer affiliated with the Union, packed up one day,<br \/>\nin mid session, according to the story I&#8217;d been told, because<br \/>\nthey were contracted to do a concert, and had to go.<br \/>\nI asked Mr. Vagna, &#8220;Why not do it here?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He replied, &#8220;Cost!&#8221; I said, &#8220;If your gross was less than 30 mil<br \/>\nthe first weekend, I&#8217;ll come over and personally Simoniz your<br \/>\nBentley.&#8221; He said, &#8220;The back end!&#8221; He told him what the back<br \/>\nend would be\u008a only so &#038; so much dollars, and he responded<br \/>\nvery emphatically, &#8220;It&#8217;s so many thousand I can&#8217;t put in my<br \/>\npocket!!\u008a F&#8212;- You!&#8221; I said, Well, I&#8217;d like to talk to you, see<br \/>\nif there&#8217;s a way to do this\u008a<br \/>\n&#8221; There&#8217;s NOT!&#8221; and banged the phone down.<\/p>\n<p>I realize that this is a business, and if you are working every<br \/>\nday, and on or in the top 200 or so, Life is Good, and I&#8217;m glad<br \/>\nfor you. If you&#8217;re not, perhaps it&#8217;s a fact of Life; and matter<br \/>\nof dollars, and some producers&#8217; sense of business!<\/p>\n<p>The late Lew Wasserman, the former head of Universal Studios,<br \/>\nwho was largely responsible for building that Show Biz Empire,<br \/>\ntold our former president, Max Herman when we went on strike<br \/>\nfor secondary use payments on TV show, &#8220;Listen, Max! You and<br \/>\nthe musicians are going down the wrong road! We&#8217;ll give you<br \/>\nhigher scales,more money but we WILL NEVER give you secondary<br \/>\npayments when we resell our TV shows!&#8221; Max knew we wouldn&#8217;t<br \/>\nwant to hear that, and kept quiet about it. But many years later,<br \/>\nMax confided what Mr. Wasserman had told him.<\/p>\n<p>When my fellow musicians were about to lose their homes,<br \/>\netc., Max stopped me on the stairs to the Credit Union, and<br \/>\nsaid, &#8220;BIll, what can we do to help you members during<br \/>\nthis strike?&#8221; I responded, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you officers forgo your<br \/>\nsalaries, and put them into a Relief Fund for the members<br \/>\nwho are losing their homes, and so on, as long as we&#8217;re on<br \/>\nstrike?!?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Max kind of spluttered, but finally told me, &#8220;The By-Laws<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t allow that!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I replied,<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;THEN CHANGE THE BYLAWS!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>LA is getting roughly one third (maybe 40 movies) of all t<br \/>\nhe possible theatrical 120 ish releases be it large budget<br \/>\nstudio pictures to small budget inde movie shorts &#8211; for<br \/>\nvarious reasons but mostly producers do not want to<br \/>\nwork for an organization that has so many flaws and<br \/>\nis ANTI relationship sometimes &#8211; not all the time &#8211; there<br \/>\nare wins every day with AFM jobs coming back to LA<br \/>\nand also AFM losses every day going out of LA &#8211; there is<br \/>\na global market now and frankly many of the other global<br \/>\nrecording locations are providing something better whether<br \/>\nit&#8217;s lower cost or &#8220;good enough&#8221; quality &#8211; at the end of the<br \/>\nday &#8211; are we in LA doing all we can to remain a location<br \/>\nfor recordings? &#8211; my opinion is not to offer an answer<br \/>\nbut to pose up this question once again &#8211; &#8220;are we happy in<br \/>\nLA only getting one third of the recording work we used to get?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I am not&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>================================<\/p>\n<p>III.
