So Bill, are you saying that if a demo service receives a work order for a song that is not well written, they should refuse it?


Absolutely not Mike. That is not the Demo service's call.
I would just think any legit service would be able to offer some guidance to wannabee songwriters.

We all know there are demo mills out there that will tell a writer anything they want to hear to get their money.

Would you honestly say you will demo ANYTHING sent to you regardless of how bad it is. Knowing the writer is going to pitch the song to a publisher?

Put another way.
Your transmission is failing in your car. You take it to a transmission service company for a new transmission. When the mechanic checks the car he hears grinding coming from the motor. Perhaps the Crankshaft is shot or it is getting ready to throw a rod. The shop could replace the transmission knowing full well the motor is about to go. Hence the car will be "garbage". OR the shop could say to you. Hey we can do this and charge you $1000.00 but the car is a piece of crap and you would be better off not fixing it.
But we will be glad to fix the transmission if you want us to.
