Why they even ridicule the musician who wants to give his music away for free. I suppose they'd probably find fault with the Savior for not monetizing miracles. I can almost hear them, "Why, that healing must not be worth much if you got it for free."

As they say on the pre-game show just before Monday Night Football.

"C'mon, man!!"


Well, I do understand that the forum is a songwriters ship, and they want to run a tight ship. Supporting one another should be something that happens.

I am nothing but supportive when it comes to talking about songwriting, giving feedback, and helping writers get better if i can. But im pretty sure most folks here know where they stand as the needles in the haystack of the music business.

Im not saying anyting revolutional, just practical and real.

I hope everyone can make money doing this. Nothing would make me happier.
