I've used a partial quote of yours, Below Marc!!...and Welcome Rand!! Nice to have you here too.... This is really cool of both of you to spend time here!  and share. We sure hope you both stay!! A good friend who used to frequent these boards a long time ago...and never told me she was a publisher until about a year later...sat me down a few years back and gave me the facts of life (music industry version)talk....that you gave above, Marc. So It was good to see you spell it out so clearly on the boards, thank you. Still.... I don't think any of us should be discouraged..., I am hopeful...and will continue to be hopeful...for a larger opportunity some day....but until that time, I'm going to work on growing....and adding to those smaller opportunities you've mentioned. Because there ARE opportunities out there... A few weeks ago....Calvin and Joice...posted that one of their songs...was being used by a non-profit state organization. Ya know...it took initiative....and going after it!!! "Find artists online who might not be superstars but you might be able to pitch to." ...Ande Rasmussen...has had so many cuts from finding and making friends with folks who are on their way and sets a great example....... This morning...Joe Wraebek posted that He may have been the first Local....to be invited to Play at the....oh dern.... all I can think of is...the Critter Ball...but that's not right...sorry Joe. How cool is that? Vikki Flawith is getting placements through Taxi... after she's said...some beginning struggles.... Al David...is having some of his instrumentals used and considered for Film..... How cool? Scott Campbell wrote a song...that was played at the Home Opening Phillies Game in 08....The world series winning Phillies...There were several board regular JPF'rs....involved in that...I know I'll forget names...but John Daubert and Sub (Mike Caro) come to mind and John..... I believe Harriet Ames...was used to bring a Man out of a Coma...with her music recently.... To me this tops them all..and is a beautiful testimony to songwriters.... Dave Rice shared an adorable idea he had with songs....A musical...that was used in Schools and Sung by kids!!.... Last week I received a call from a publisher and found out during the conversation that 2 songs I'd given up on ...but had signed contracts on 2+ years ago....were still going to be coming out in Print...small $...but the royalties are consistent. and the list goes on!!!... There's opportunities out there....while we're growing... and I won't stop dreaming  ............ best to all... Kaley

"We are all millionaires, billionaires even, because right now we have today. And today is worth more than all the wealth we can imagine. So spend today wisely. Spend tomorrow wisely. Enjoy the wealth of today, and realize it is worth far more than all the money and possessions of tomorrow and beyond." -Brian Austin Whitney
