Yep,your ramblings are quite constructive Don...and taking the time, effort, and expense of making "radio friendly" quality demo CD's can only add to your CV...then gettin your product to a potential "indie" who is kicking down doors to get heard,well i dare say that is where the luck comes in...When they are kicking in the door,and it opens..they gotta have your CD in their clutches,ready to be heard...and next,the right pair of ears has gotta hear it..so the potential is there to make it a win-win situation..it is just that Lady Luck has got to smile on that situation, at the same time.....if it is meant for you...it won't go past you.....the Songwriting dream takes a lot of kickings..but it won't lie down....Good Luck..Terry Moore...
