"Wow, that's sad news. any loss of a fellow composer is unsettling. I hope his family and friends are doing OK. Losing someone under the current circumstances is even harder that it would otherwise be. They are in our thoughts and prayers."

"This happened to me. I paid and discarded the recording."
"If you had made your expectations from him clearly on the outset and he didn't deliver and plus on top of that there was no legal document containing any agreement and responsibilities between you, I do not see why you should pay him. This is…"

I gave him as much information as…See More
