A dear friend of mine is retired and essentially makes his living off royalties, and has for a number of years now. I know his name isn’t on every jacket, but that part doesn’t really matter, so long as ASCAP/BMI etc. know you are on the record!
Yeah, I know. In my case, I signed the contract that it was session work for immediate pay - except for a few times and those albums didn't do well. I got a few royalty checks, oddly for a rap album that I did a riff for and they looped it. Then, those guys all went to prison or died or something.
He got paid at the time and of course still gets paid. The guy is on so many records, it’s astounding. Do you have a music collection? Is that something people even have anymore? If you do, I’d wager much money that he is on at least one album you own.
