Re: insurance

[monk <monk@fuse.net>]

it's been years since i checked out all the numbers, but when i  
checked with the union and the the whole ASCAP/SESAC/BMI they all  
used third part carriers who essentially give you the same deal that  
they'd give you if you called them cold. most of them asked for  
10-15% of the insured value per year for instruments that are of any  
considerable value. i own a recording studio and also tour. so i have  
a fair amount of value tied up in gear... i simply can't afford to  
spend $20,000 per year for insurance.
