I agree with you Couch
pop ditty's aren't hard to write
they are hard to market and place

The way to get it done is to
1) have relationships writers, producers, artists, managers, & A&R and
2)work your way to being part of writer producer teams

which is exactly what our buddy Gregory Watton is doing.

Which do you think McCartney had a harder time with...
She Loves You or Eleanor Rigby?

The more commercial stuff I have I wrote in less than thirty minutes. the other stuff in my catalog, the stuff I'm proud of, the stuff that makes me ME as a writer...that's different.
