Greg, Don't get so worked up, dude. Just because you're running promos for Blazetrak doesn't automatically give the business the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, and Big Jim is right to snort and be skeptical about it.

It sounds like a business exploiting people's dreams - mainly aimed at the young fellas and gals like yourself. You're paying for "access" to "important" people in the music industry for a fee. They'll give you an opinion and advice on your submission. I understand most of the big shots charge between $100-200 to listen to whatever you want to send. In return, you get a brief video response.

You can get an opinion and advice on your music on JPF for nothing if you're looking for validation.

Mostly, Blazetrak is about making the founders of the company rich and providing another small revenue stream to the "bigshots" offering advice and critiques to those willing to pay for advice.

How long has this outfit been around? Two or three years? Give me the name of someone who hit the jackpot after paying one of these "bigshots" for an opinion.

Until then, young folks trying to make it should concentrate on their music and networking in the music industry and playing gigs.

And always remember that a fool and his money are easily separated.
