My Heart Has a Crazy Mind of its Own ... they were looking for edgy, country/pop songs with strong lyrics that would be sung by a woman over 40! cool LOL .. i kept looking for the "BUT" in the letter .. we would like to represent your song ... BUT .. but there was no 'but' ... yay! Just thought i'd share ... MERRY CHRISTMAS

The longest journey begins with the first step...hoped this gets you further up the road Joanne And Stan will write a lyric that will use I kept looking for but and of course play with the obvious pun in there somewhere. I'd go look for it but...
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop

Congrats! Did I miss who the artist was? Or is it secret? Did they offer you an advance, or is it just a hold at this time?
Thanks for sharing the great news!

Hi Brian - Thank YOU .. I am very excited I don't know who the artist is yet. It is a Broadjam pitch: Album placement: Established female Pop/Country artist needs hit songs I am having the contract reviewed as we speak. I would think once I have submitted all my paperwork, they would share who the artist is.. I am curious myself There is no 'hold' and no "advance" ~ it is a non-exclusive agreemement ~ Looks pretty standard. It is just nice to get a positive response.. FINALLY ... many thanks for all I have learned right here on JPF through postings,mentors and friends .. Thank YOU .. All the best Joanne

Congratulations, Joanne. You sure deserve success, and "My Heart Has a Crazy Mind of Its Own" is one of the best "edgy, country/pop songs with strong lyrics that would be sung by a woman over 40" that I've ever heard.
Folks, any of you who have not heard Joanne's work are living limitedly enriched lives.
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Thanks Linda! I felt very confident sending the contract out after getting a thorough review from the attorney. Lessons learned right here on JPF ...ie "Mike Dunbar, who's on your team?" I agree.. nice gift .. nice way to end the year, nice way to start the year Wishing you a wonderful 2011! All the best Joanne

Way to go Jo,
I just saw this. CONGRATULATIONS!!
I love that song (and many others of yours). Hope it gets cut and released as a single and goes to #1. Who knows what doors may open for all your other GREAT songs.
You rock,
John
