My thoughts exactly, Tom. I have been resisting using SB because of 
this. This isn't a problem with my solo stuff as much as it is wwith my 
Irish band as much of the summer revenue comes from festivals and it 
appears that SB has marketed itself pretty well to many of those 
festivals. As I grow my solo stuff I expect this to be a problem.  I 
hate being forced to dance with the devil.
