Hi Everybody:

Sometimes we have to put aside past disappointment and outright scams. When an opportunity is offered with sincerity and a non-bravado approach, we have an obligation to hear the messenger and decide for ourselves when we have a clearer picture of the entire situation.

I, for one, appreciate the subtle and soft approach that B.M. Bland has taken in our direction. It is tough to knowingly enter a "Lion's Den" (JPF) armed only with an olive branch and a "sliver of hope."

So... if this ends up being another disappointing episode in the daily life of a songwriter... so what! It won't be the first and it probably won't be the last. From my view, it's just an offer that appears to be very fair. I hope I'm not wrong.

The rest of you must simply decide for yourselves. Play the game or find another.

All my best,

Dave Rice
