Hey Bill,
I have had it in mind to make a trip to Nashville sometime in the near future and make an appointment with my PRO (BMI) and see if they can hook me up with a Publisher or two. When I decide to make the trip I will E-mail you and see if we can have a get together.

My wife is a Nurse. Retired but a Doctor called her 3 months ago to see if she would work a couple of days a week. Well someone left and now my wife is working full time so I can't make a trip yet.

I guess you are listening to lots of songs so you can judge if everyone has a big hit in their Catalog.

The Publisher that I was working with, who signed a couple of my songs on the first time I pitched some songs related to me that he got mostly junk so maybe every one that has been writing for a whild doesn't have that big hit in their catalog.

About 3 years ago I sent some songs to someone in West Virginia. I don't send a SASE anymore because no one uses them anymore.

A couple of months later I got a letter from him saying they would press my Train Song. What Train Song? I didn't send him a Train Song so I ignored the letter. Som time later he sent another letter identifying the song. Well I did have someone riding a train to work in the song but it was hardly about trains.

We went around and around because he wanted that song pretty bad.
I finally got everything fixed so he could put the song out. Keep writing. That big hit may be just around the corner!
