Humm,
I'm not sure I ever read on these boards where anyone was putting down co-writing. If I were in Nashville where I could hook up with some writer's I'm sure I could write a lot of good songs. However, most writer's are not in Nashville and probably have no one to write with so they write Solo. AND, moving to Nashville just to write with somebody isn't practical without some visable means of support, such as a job. You've said a time or two Marc, most writer's have other things going, such as a day job.

Certainly in the past I wish I had someone to write with. But finding that someone wasn't possible. However I have managed to put together a pretty good Catalog by myself. And I have had requests for more songs a time or two.

And inspecting a couple of Major Star's CD'S I have there are some songs that only list one writer.

And, I don't understand the Emotional Statement if you don't write with a Publisher for instance they don't want to have anything with you. It isn't a one way street. If A Publisher signs one of your songs and it gets cut, they get 50 percent of the royalities and ownership of the song for 40 years.
