Marc, count me in the "never tired of the Nashville perspective" group. And thanks so much for your insights and time to explain how it works in Music City these days. I have been removed from the music industry and Nashville for quite a while, but it's becoming a great journey getting back into it not to mention starting all-over from the bottom). In my case I am probably writing for/marketing to more of a niche market (bluegrass/Americana)than most writers here I think. But from what I have observed so far, your points are pretty bang on for that genre as well. Great material, strong networking/developing friendships, and timely presentations. That's a starting point, and if your stuff is good enough, anything is possible. Nashville's where it's at, baby! (Well.....except for Titans football).
