Hi redwriter1,

Don't believe we've met (Kay-lynn Carew, right?), so your visit to this thread is all the more meaningful to me. Thanks.

At the great risk of sounding like I know it all, I've written songs since 1975 and have actually received my share of publishing contracts in the past. But it is still nice to get all excited about one, especially since I've been out of it for so long (have not written in six years).

Yes, many publishers are actually like glorified songpluggers with maybe just a little more at stake -- but we have been selective. Without going into too much detail, the prospective publishers/producers our submissions were sent to have been carefully chosen. The one(s) that we have clicked with (yes, there may be MORE news coming!) have actually had rather decent track records and even produced albums of their own, as recently as this year. There is naturally a reversion clause, as I have always insisted upon in the past, although the time period is something we are negotiating at the moment. As for demos, at the additional risk of sounding a little too self-confident, the demos we have now are probably pretty close in sound, IMHO, to what one can hear on the radio daily.

Again, thank you for your kind sentiments and Highly Worthwhile advice.

BTW I bumped around a bit on your MP3.com site, very nice...
