I don't expect to hear anything soon about the song. The publisher has 3 years, per the contract, to make something happen. After that, the contract can be renewed or void. This same publisher, Matt Lindsay, shared a story: he signed and tried to pitch a song call "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking" to Blake Shelton. For 9 long years, he kept pitching the song and Blake kept rejecting it. Another artist, Joe Nichols cut the song in 2007. Finally, Blake covered the song in 2010 and it reached #1 on the Billboard charts in 2011. So knowing all of this, I don't expect to hear soon and have faith that Matt will get someone to cut the song, if not Lee Ann Womack.. If not, its been a great ride and has spurned me on to write better songs.

Thank you everyone for answering. If you want to hear the song, here it is. https://www.reverbnation.com/donnadutchesssongwriter/song/28391493-bad-day-good-on-hold



First up, Congratulations, Donna. I just wanted to add, a few weeks ago, I had watched I think it was a Pitch to Pro, or something similar, after the fact as I wasn't present when it was live, but anyhow, Matt Lindsay was a very sincere, genuine and a great guy. And one of those that if they believe in a song, the will do whatever they can to try and get a cut. I couldn't even say where it was I saw it. Maybe Brent Baxter, who does the Pitch to Pro. But it's nice to see them live in a video like this where they share stories, life experiences, and answer questions, and you get to see the real person and not just a picture. Know what I mean. All my best to you. ~Marilyn
