Thanks for the clarification, Kiph:

I was hoping you were actually 50/50 co-writers and I understand that "pitching" is a bitch of an ordeal. I don't pitch much of my stuff but when I have a demo made it is usually done on a "work for hire" agreement and since I have only a few co-writers, my split is only with the other publisher. (I am my own publisher but don't seek song submissions.) It is primarily a bargaining chip if an artist or producer is interested in doing a "cover." Stardom has never been of interest to me and touring would cause instant insanity. I only want my songs to "stick around" long after I'm gone as long as they are sung with someone with a better vocal ability than I possess. LOL!

Streaming is slowly killing music and that part of the culture of this nation. Sad!

As I said in my previous post... best wishes for success. ----Dave
