A little ironic you happened to post this on the Rocky Horror Show post – but I understand that’s my current show so it made sense to contact me on it.

I’m really glad my tracks are being used for this. Thank you!

I have used one of your tracks (Buried Treasure Volume 21, Street Rap Istrumentals)for a production of mine, namely, I have translated the Book of Job from Hebrew into English, putting it into rap verse. Buried Treasure is the instrumental for Chapter 10. I am going to sumbit this production to Zondervan Publishing with the idea of having them publish the lyrics. The intendended audience would be church groups, most likely young adults, and the intended artists would be church members, themselves. The idea would be for Zondervan to publish all 42 chapters of the Book of Job, plus a CD of the various instrumental pieces for each chapter. I intend to send them the CD with the Chapter 10 production, plus I would like to include Buried Treasure in its native format so that they could get an idea of what the instrumental CD would sound like, with Chapter 10 and Buried Treasure being a sample. That is, I would submit as Track 1 the rap production of Chapter 10, then as Track 2 Buried Treasure, so that they could see, first, that it could be produced, and secondly, what the instrumental part would sound like.

I would like your permission to submit this to Zondervan as a proposal. If it were accepted, I would than negotiate with you for the rights to include the instrumental in a publication that would include a CD of the productions, chapter by chapter, plus the instrumentals for each chapter. So far, I have only used one instrumental of yours, but am considering for Chapter 9 “Against Clarity.”

I would also like your permission to submit this to other publishers or agents other than Zondervan for the same purpose.

Sincerely,

James Horsley
