For my part, I haven't lost sight of that Neil. (critique forum)

And I have long since concluded that no producer will ever solicit my music. And I don't want to be buried in a publisher's catalogue either...even if offered the chance. So I've no illusions about clearing either one of those bars.

PC technology and people such as Mike Z now make good recordings easy and affordable to a guy like me. No studios, No corralling musicians, no 1000 to 1500 bucks a song. That's been a game changer for everything and everyone.

And I have clearly seen that the better my songs sound, the more responsive people are to them. Which is the point that this thread started on.

One of my deceased father's dad-isms was "it's easier to love something that is lovely." The first time that I heard that as a kid, I remember thinking..."spare me!" But there's a lot of truth in it when applied to songs too.
