Jeff Trueman, a two-time guest on Masters of Dispute Resolution, and Len Levy switch roles in this episode, with Jeff interviewing Len as he tells the story of two musicians who split up after the cancellation of a television show featuring a theme song composed and sung by the two. Once friends, the musicians no longer communicated, and many years later, after the television show was picked up in syndication, they could not agree on the division of royalty payments, leading them to mediate their dispute. Were they able to get what they needed through mediation? The answer may surprise you.
