hey Sam
there is one thing I might add to your question besides what
the other boys have ventured to you, which are all true.
I am from the old days of Nashville so what I say could be
taken with a grain of salt, but once you start selling your
material it becomes easy, kind of the Hock Shop thery. and
you might be selling a hit song for a hundred bucks. It
happened many times when I was there(Late 1974 thru 1984).
