Songs that are a work in progress are one thing...songs you are pitching in hopes of getting a placement or a cut are another...when you are pitching to get that commercial cut it is best to realize that you are competing with the best of the best. Many of their track records show they are among the best, and that is not by accident...they write very well,they pay attention to detail,many of their demos are as good as or better than the cut they end up getting...like it or not, that is your competition...I venture to say most demos that are poorly done don't reach the 15 second mark in a listening session. Put your best foot forward(pun intended Mike) and keep doing it.
