Hi again Brian,

I just thought of one more thing this morning. Are you aware that Nashville producers are telling folks (they told me as well as the other posters here who visited their studios) that we should NOT post our lyrics to a lyric forum.

The premise was something like this. If you post your rookie lyric to a lyric board, all someone has to do is change your fresh idea up into their own words and wala, they've got your 'potential hit song' in their posession. One producer from _________Studios said it DOES happen all the time. He said he knew staff writers who regularly visisted such lyric board sites and fished for ideas (well something close to that).

Me, I don't listen to his advice since I don't live my life based on Fear. I'd rather risk someone stealing an idea than living with my fists closed.

But, perhaps that 'fact' (staff writers making off with unpublished/unsigned writers' valuable ideas) has gotten out and has scared a lot of folks off. Personally, I think that has had as much to do with the decrease in the amount of posters to the lyric boards as anything else. JMO.
