I plan to include You Tube and MySpace. Keep in mind I have to angle the article to appeal to songwriters who often are not also peformers. So I need to find reasons and ways for them to use those resources even if they don't play music themselves, but I have some ideas. iTunes will get mentioned in the broader context of digital music sales, but most likely I will focus on CD Baby as the pathway to get on there rather than iTunes itself.

Any licensing sites worth mentioning? (I know some that are NOT worth mehtioning of course). Also what about hosting sites? Soundclick and Songramp were mentioned earlier. I know about the new NSAI involvement with SongRamp but I've viewed them as mostly irrelevant to date. Anything else out there that should be mentioned in that area?

As for Minneapolis, it's been a nice rainy stay.. I am going to pack up in a few minutes and head to Sioux Falls and likely get a hotel room for the night so I can really focus on the article and also the newsletter which is due as well.

See many of you out on the road!
