Big Jim,
You are absolutely correct in philosophy, I just can't find one who will work on a pay-me-when-I-am-successful basis. I can see the need to pay your bills while pitching, but if one gets enough folks paying them to pitch alone, that could be quite lucrative indeed. Of course, there are lots of people making a living off songwriter's dreams anyway, so why not song pluggers too? In the old 'payola' system, you actually got airtime for that money and the pluggers had access to get that done.
When I started this thread, I was hoping for a recommend to find an honest one that someone had experience with. I guess I got my answer! There are not that many.
There was one recommend, and thanks for that.
