Which is no investment upfront for folk that come through the school of hard knocks... for songs that will possibly never get listened to let alone cut.

There is a world of difference between a pitchable demo and a pro demo... one I thought was so folk could hear the song, the other to sell an artist/ group ... but again I wouldn't really know... smile
