Hello all,

I've watched and listened to music for 50 years here in Nashville. YES, it has changed; mostly for the better. At any one time, you must be personally involved to the max. Even then, success of a cut is remote. I used to save the song of the week out of the Newspaper here in Nashville--I have a big box of these #1 songs--Most of these songs are Great--They are the type songs that are successful. Most of the time, these songs over a long period, are songs with a common thread. SO, at any one time, The HITS are in TUNE with the REQUESTING and BUYING public's desires. INDIE SONGWRITERS ARE IN DIRECT COMPETITION WITH THE VERY BEST WRITERS.

MAB is right on, with how you break in--HALF OF SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN ALL OF NOTHING! Listen to MAB and Mike Dunbar--Their ear is on the railroad track:
They hear the TRAIN - A-COMING.

Respectfully,

Mackie Humphries
