A little bird tells Tech Daily Dose that Sheila E., the multiple Grammy Award nominee best known for collaborating with Prince , may testify on behalf of the MusicFirst Coalition at Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on legislation that would end a longstanding royalty exemption granted to AM and FM radio. E. recently embarked on a country career and her first music video "Glorious Train" debuted on CMT in March (see above). Or if you prefer classic E., check out "Glamorous Life" here. The National Association of Broadcasters, which has lobbied hard against the bills in the House and Senate, will have a seat at the witness table that will most likely be filled by Commonwealth Broadcasting CEO Steven Newberry. Newberry also appeared before the committee in 2007 opposite singer-songwriter Lyle Lovett. Read a preview story about the upcoming hearing in CongressDaily here (subscription required).
