are they truly gone? that could cause some very good music to never make it to the public..such as my own LOL...I have been writing songs for over 20 years, and just recently started thinking seriously about trying to get them out...all the locals that hear them love most, but seriously, as an LPN with 2 babies, the cost of demos kinda runs with the old adage...demo in one hand or food in the other for the kids...home cd's or mp3s is about my only option...it doesn't damper my enthusiasm about writing but makes me wonder if I ever will get heard...
