I think most people gherm because they can't comprehend how to get that song heard without gherming. You'll explain and explain all the ways to move forward in the process, and I know in my heart it's true...but it will always be a baffling concept to grasp: if you want to get your song heard, the one thing you can't do is to ask someone to listen to it.

Man, and back in the 50's, you could walk into an office building and maybe even get someone like Bing Crosby to give it a whirl. Those stories just fan the flames, I guess.

Okay, here's a question. Is it even possible to eventually co-write your way into Nashville songwriting circles without moving to Nashville?
