Hi LL? ...I just can't seem to reply without attaching a name...it just feel's
strange..... Thank you for all your help...suggestions...information from sources...very appreciated.....

I'll see what I can find out...like I mentioned above...to Everett.., I can't very well....go into his/her music site...and remove...the song showing my name attached to it... ....so I have to get an answer.

Thanks LL.....

Excuse combined post...y'all I don't like to do that either.......

Emily, Hi and thanks for the thoughts....
Yes...this one took me by surprise....i think mostly...because...the song topic is close to my heart..that I put my being into the melody....and I also have contact with at least two of the non-profit organizations..that would have at least
listened to the song....They might not have used it....but if it was indeed strong enough someone might have.....maybe on a local level in any case. & Being I'd said "go for it" with the 2nd version(legally or not)....I'd have thought that would have satisfied him/her.

Co-writing can be tough because there's two or more people involved...each with his/her own mind set......but....This caught me off guard....because...it had gone so well..
There had been good communication...back and forth....etc. ......so anyhoo....

thanks for the thoughts...support...

best to you.....

Hi Heradia, hmmmm....well I wrote
back 3 times...I think in July...(don't have it in front of me)....and the last one...
was pleasant but firmly stated ...to go for it...but that I felt I could not sign off on the copyright of the first version because it would be foolish to do so....

I did not receive a response back on that one..until by way of a post....dated another month later.. ..."said party"....gave a link to his/her new version of the song....and thanked me for working on it...but he/she had chosen someone else to do the song.

No, I haven't followed up on that yet.....

I'm thinking now ....after everyone's responses...and just giving it some time......that I basically need to find out
if that melody is mine......to rework...
and whether I can keep the title... have it reworked in a similar subject...or whether I have to avoid the subject...matter all together.. The way the chorus Melody goes...it begs for the title...so I don't know. The melody might be good enough to not cast aside.. don't know ....

Anyways...I thank you..... & If I can
let you all know what the result is without...giving the specific names...etc....I will .... Although I was/am frustrated about it, I will not mention the name.....or badmouth...him/her.

Best to you all...and thanks...
Kaley
