Tammy,

Good info. Yes, if several people say the same thing, you might want to make a change. I'd add, though, if they say the same thing independantly. Songwriting forums can take on a "mob" menality. If one of the dominant personalities on the forum makes a crit, others can, and often do, follow suit.

And, yes, Nashville is certainly not the only place to pitch. It's the hub for major label Country music and a hub for much (not all) Christian and Bluegrass music. I wouldn't recommend, for example, Reggae writers pitching here. Personally, I've gotten cuts in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Cologne, Germany as well as here.

Good songwriting, by the way. My faves are "Follow Your Dreams" and especially "Afterthought" the chords in the chorus and the bridge are cool. Very well arranged and produced. Dry vocal in the breakdown and everything, very "now" with a smart ending.

All the Best,
Mike

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
