[FIRST SEGMENT: 2 min 30 sec roughly]
Host:
	Good evening and welcome to MoneyGrubbers, the program
	where we examine new and better ways to fill your wallet
	quickly and easily.  I'm the host, Mark Magic.  I'm pleased
	to have for our first guest, 
[2-shot]
	from the music corporation of north america, Mr. 
	John Nesbitt.
Nesbitt: Hello
host:	Glad you could join us today
Nesbitt: Thanks for inviting me.
host:
	Now, I understand you have a way to get rich quick which will
	will continue to roll in profits year after year.
nesbitt: Yes.  I've discovered that in the christmas season, people's
	taste in music changes.  
[closeup, nesbitt]
	They'll listen to practically anything
	without complaining -- in fact, they'll buy music which would
	otherwise be considered absolute crud.  The way to cash in on
	this is to produce a christmas album.  The first year you'll
	rake in the cash, no matter how bad the album is.  People will
	buy it just because it's a christmas album.  The next 2 or 3
	years you'll still make a hefty profit.  After that, the profits
	drop off, but it'll provide a steady income.

host:	Do you have to write your own songs or can you just redo old ones?
nesbitt: 
[closeup, nesbit]
	You can do either.  Writing your own songs is more complex, but
	chances are you'll sell more because it is brand new, rather than
	just the old thing with some new shine.  You also get the licensing
	fees if someone decides to redo the song.  But redoing a song doesn't
	do bad either, especially if you add some spiffy new sound effect
	or change it in some significant way.  For example, add a reverb
	effect, replace the drum line, something along those lines.

host:	We're going to run a segment of one of the songs off your
	latest album, "The Looney Christmas Album."  Can you tell
	us something about this.
nesbitt: Sure.  This song is called "We Love Christmas", and it's
	an original composition.  The album also contains a redo
	of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, with a new drum line
	added as well as a little rap during an instrumental.  We
	redid Rudolph much like the 1991 redo of "This Much is
	True", the cheesy 70's tune.
host:	As if that wasn't bad enough the first time.  Okay, well,
	let's listen to that now then.
	(play song)
host:	How many do you think that would sell?
nesbitt: Well, probably...  a million to a million and a half the first
	year... Half a million at absolute worst cast.
[closeup, nesbitt]
	About the same
	the next year.  Probably half that the third year after release,
	and after that it'll drop to 50 to a hundred thousand copies,
	but it's not a bad steady income.  Of course the figures depend
	on release dates and such, there's a slight difference
	depending on album quality, but it's a ballpark figures.

host:	Incredible.  Well, we've got to cut to a comercial now, it was
	great to have you on the show John.
nesbitt: Anytime, Mark.
[one shot of host]
host:	We'll return right after this.

[get rich cwick commercial here]

host:	Well, that's all the time we have for today.  I'd like to thank
	my guests, John Nesbitt and.  Good night.
