I bet you get good news! I bet you're going to be able to get into this place. All of the odds are in your favor. Good luck!

I have an SBS 7 slot expansion chassis without a scratch on it. I have 3 DSP farm cards and will sell them separately or together. I have 1 D24 core card. And lastly, I have a like new Roland 1824 CD workstation. I'll accept $450-$500 for the expansion chassis, $325-$450 for each farm card...

Voice I've found that the softer I sing, the better my voice sounds. When I try to push it, it doesn't sound as good.

Voice I think it's normal for your singing voice to be higher. My voice has gotten lower with age, but I sound 16 when I sing. www.myspace.com/berniseever

Copyrights Copyrights are only good for so long. If they aren't resubmitted they become public domain and no fees have to be paid. Believe it or not, Happy Birthday is copyrighted and can't be used in public without paying for it.

Taxi Not only do you have to pay them $300 just to view the listings, but they make you pay to submit each song too. $10 for each submission, just to be told it isn't good enough to forward. I guess I should complain to the better business bureau about them.

Help You're calling yourself a fogey at 30? I'm 50 and don't even call myself that. What is so bizarre about writing songs without playing an instrument. Most music and lyrics are channeled anyway. I write lyrics and melodies that work very well together yet I don't play an instrument. I...

Lyrics first I wonder why Billy Joel would have said that about Elton since Elton had a partner by the name of Bernie Taupin who did the melodies and Elton only did the lyrics. Maybe he didn't know about Bernie at the time.

Myspace They occasionally have problems since it's a very busy site. You just have to keep trying, eventually it will upload. I have the same problem of things not uploading with every site.

E-bay I purchased all of my protools gear on e-bay and had to wait over a year at times to get the price I could afford. I also have been ripped off more times than not recently, so you have to pay close attention to the feedback scores to avoid getting ripped off. I tried selling a few items...

BamBam Is that you singing the Britney song? It's pretty good!

Mp3's I have my songs on Broadjam. They keep .20 cents per song and you decide which songs you want to sell. They'll even sell an entire album. $19.95 a month to be able to upload as many as you want and they take care of everything for you. If you want to check it out, here's a link...

Nova I have a friend who has a couple of these. He's currently in LA getting ready to move to Oklahoma. He may be interested but you haven't said where you live yet?

Has anyone tried the so-called A&R service TAXI? If you have, did they ever forward any of your songs? I was with them for a year and all I got was some feedback like I didn't like a particular line in this song so it won't be forwarded crap. I feel that they are scammers. Anyone disagree?

Are lyrics necessary Being a lyricist I think they are necessary, but only if people can relate to them. I know that the music can be just as driving as lyrics. I used to love the band Heart and loved their lyrics, but when I listen to them now, they don't make any sense and I wonder why I...
