Marc we have been there before with your argument....as I say it is a closed shop and NOBODY is going to let the little guy muscle in....no matter how talented they are.
You should know more than anybody else....in this business talent counts for little...it is all about connections.....and just about anything will make it given the right backing, hype and marketing....talent and song quality dont enter the equation. Close-knit shop, yes. Closed? I don't believe so. Connections do help, yes. That's just life for just about anything. Connections aren't that hard to make. Go to open mics in Nashville and sing your best songs. Meet people and make friends. If your songs are any good, eventually you will be asked by other writers to write with them. Even if they don't have a deal yet, make friends with them and do some co-writes. Who knows where they'll be later on, and then you'll have some connections.
