All of the realities that Marc talks about are hard for any songwriter living outside the Nashville circle to swallow, but there it is. It's all true and there's nothing you can do about it. Moving to Nashville is a laughable impossibility for a lot of us. A friend of mine, Gordie Sampson, was able to do that and it worked out quite well for him but, Gordie, is an exception. He always was an exception. Still, I have demos and I keep pushing them whenever I can. Some are well recorded, some aren't. For some I have had rave reviews but never from the "right people" and that's ok too (well, no not really). Still, I continue to receive a royalty check every quarter and have done so for many years so compared to a lot of starving songwriters, I'm doing ok - not as well as I want to but, still, ok. If anyone is interested in listening to what I have been told are my best demos, let me know. Thanks to Marc for his posts here. I enjoyed them thoroughly.
