flat fee at the time of the session- was: Jimmy Zavala and The Wire

["Michael Peloquin" <peloquinharp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Different deals for different situations. I think that he was playing with 
The Eurythmics at the time. If negotiated correctly, a major label, 
Musician's Union(for what it's worth) contract would probably include some 
sort of points(residuals) for the players. But of course, many sessions are 
"work for hire."

Let's hear from Mr. Paparozzi on this?
