I'll submit 3 songs but I'm a little confused about the code?
I've placed it on top here. If it's wrong, please correct me.
The 3 songs are more pop style, but they are only first attemts.
My goal is to redo them all.

Greetings fro Denmark

Thanks Ken

I'll get to these asap.

The code was fine smile Some record label and publishing people if they like your work and are enthused to hear more and are expecting your package will tell you to put there secret code on the envelope.

The very first time I ever sent out packages with cassettes of my songs, one slipped through at a Major Publishing/Label
Motowns!. I didn't know about "solicitation" so it should have been mailed back or tossed out like the others.
After being shocked to no end that the guy called my house and we spoke on the phone. According to him I was so close to something he could use, "a hit song" he said. He was literally deciding about it over the phone, he kept leaning back and forth and my heart was in my throat.

If i had even realized how rare this was then like i do know, I don't think I would have EVER hung up LOL

He didn't take the song, and couldn't put his finger on why, he had no advice or suggestions. He was new to that label and maybe hadn't developed a way to constructively crit the tunes yet.

Anyway he said, "Any songs you have, you send them to me anytime,
right down this code and put it on the envelope so it will come straight to me and not be lost or tossed". I'll get back to you
afterwards.

This guy was EXTREMELY cool. I sent another package but drifted
away from what he was looking for musically. He then left and went on to a bigger job change in the music biz.

I never forgot about that it was very cool, so I thought the code use in this thread would be a nice touch, to share that feeling in a tiny tiny way.

Thanks
Mike



Thanks Mike for taking your time to reply to all of us.
Now I get the idea of a code atached.
I sure can imagine you sitting with that Motownfella on the phone. That call could have changed your whole life, but after all every little detail in our life contains the possibility of a complete change of life-circumstances.
Thanks again for throwing light on the subject of hitmaking.
Best vibes.
Ken
