I'm too old and live too far away to do much networking. So I figure I'm gonna treat it like a lottery. If I can get a publisher interested, maybe they'll help on the demo. I figure that's my only hope at this point. Even in the best of times for the best of writers, it ain't easy to get a cut.

The odds are a little better than the lottery. The lottery is pure luck and there is always the chance they'll like the song. You don't win a lottery because they like the number.

I ain't saying I won't get a better demo. It's still gonna be hard no matter what.

So, I'm getting ready to walk on the moon. It'll be good for my arthritis.
