Organist Seeks a Greener Shade of Pale

Musicians' eyes tend to glaze over when we give them the old "rock band 101" lecture. All that talk about partnership agreements and touring entities isn't nearly as fun as searching Craigslist for a sweet Chevy van. Add to that the different sort of glaze likely in effect as Procol Harum were cranking out the classic "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and you start to understand how they end up being sued for authorship credit and back royalties by their former organist.
