Hi Brian, I just recently joined JPF after reading about it in Songwriter's Market (or maybe it was in one of the writer's guides). I just received an email on MySpace from this A&R as well. The website has some nice Java on it but doesn't give much for specifics. They do give you an address and phone #, but they make a point of wanting you to contact them ASAP! for a publishing or producing deal. I decided to do a Google and saw your thread on here, so I appreciate your comments. I did some more searching and saw a bunch of "artists" had some tribute to A&R Select on their own webpages, but all that suggests to me is that they required these folks to pay them tribute (or they're more plants). The only thing that came up that seemed at all worthwhile was this story at http://www.unitedjewishcenter.org/pages/20060129-AlexFrenkel.htm which could or could not be real. I'd really like to see something happen with my songs but after a really bad experience with a real estate agent (I'm still fighting to get back my deposit) I really have a low trust level for anyone in the business. I'm just happy that one of my songs recently got Honorable Mention in Billboard's contest, but I know I still have a ways to go. So I'll look forward to getting feedback from you all in the future (and would be thrilled if anyone were interested in collaborating. My songs are posted on soundclick.) If you find out this company really is legit, I'll be interested to hear about it. Thanks! ------------------ Joel www.soundclick.com/joelshulkin
