Question: Need some advice from musicians!?
My buddy has a song that he did in 1979!. Thirty years later he took it off the reel-to-reel and transferred it to CD to preserve it!. He put it on Youtube, and asked some musicians to check it out!. Hits went from 32 to over 800 between two sites in the past 2 weeks!. It's rough and definitely needs redone by a good band!. That said, here's my question: he's been thinking about running an online contest for cover bands to do a remake of the song!. What would be considered a good prize compensation these days by musicians for the winner!?

It's on Youtube, 4331Shadrack "Gina"Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good LuckWww@QuestionHome@Com

well, obviously a recording of the song would be good start!. maybe funding for a four hour recording session or something, then maybe extra money on top of that!? musicians always need money!. (:Www@QuestionHome@Com
