Giving the artists their due

Although it required some additional work, I looked forward to the few days of the year when radio stations where I worked were required to log all of the music they played for ASCAP.  I always hoped those designated days would be when I worked and could choose the music; that way, artists I favored would get their royalties from being played on the radio.  The more obscure they were, the better, in my book; after all, they needed the money all the more.
