Hello BM,

Some very good information in this post, but like Mike, I had to scratch my head and and say no duh! Tell me something I don’t know. Give me some info I can use! It also continues to amaze me when songwriters are told what they need to do and then argue all the reasons why they can’t do it. Demo’s cost too much; I’m not in Nashville, etc. etc. Please.

Your reference to Don Dellaposta, (his name is Bob by the way) is interesting. Yes, he’s making a living licensing tracks all over the place. But as a true songwriter, do I want 100 bucks to hear my music end up as background for a tooth paste commercial in Japan? He deals in quantity. Makes what he can and moves on. It’s a living, nothing wrong with that. He's very successful.

Now, after reading all your information, the bottom line, which I always like to get to, is your company is a demo house. Right? Wrong? Your comment would then make sense as to why you say Sony requires six demos per submission.

No something’s askew with this whole thread. Maybe it’s just me, I’ve been cranky lately.
