Hi Everett:
Nope! Nothing yet... and I suspect these guys are not exactly plugged into the mainstream... if there is such a thing... LOL!
They did have the courage to give you an address, name and phone number there in Sherwood, Arkansas. Hmmm... Sherwood reminds me of a forrest and these folks may be Robin Hoods intent on taking from songwriters and giving to the huddled masses.
Why would one Fedex Overnight a CD? If they were smart, they would listen to the site where your songs are being played and decide if your stuff is what they seek. These hucksters (if that is what they are) always seem to prey on the hopes and dreams of songwriters... and expect us to spend even more of our pitifully small cash reserves to send them a CD which will end up going nowhere.
Hey, I hope I'm wrong... but if it quacks like a Duck...
Keep us posted.
Thanks,
Dave

When are these people going to learn that a simple Google map search will show their 'global' organization is actually a neighborhood home in a residential area.

If I had never initiated contact with a company, I would likely ditch any initial contact from them as well, if their opening statement were, "Hello there. Have not heard back from you."
With many scam artists from overseas targeting unsuspecting Americans, it is wise to be a bit suspicious. In this instance, red flags would be going up in my head here.
