Wow...cool. I'm up to 9 now. How many more for the toaster? Toast is good!! :D

What the heck is this rep power thing? Is 5 good? :D

Hey Moskus!! (Seems I've heard that somewhere before)

*hits snooze button* :D Hi everyone else too!!! James, Sorry to hear about all of your troubles. I'm going though some pretty serious troubles myself right now. I will pray that things get better for you. Just remember... We just don't always understand why while we are in the middle of...

Oh a P.S. on the songwriting front. Before life blew up I was able to get another song demoed. It's out on my site. http://www.johnkscott.com/songs It's called Wallpaper. I like the song (although I'm not sure how cuttable it is). Dusty Drake sang it. He, at one point had a major label deal...

Hi Daniel! Songwriting is going slow right now. I've had some work and home crises that have taken me away from it. Some things that need to be straightned out before I can move on much further. I'm not done writing by any stretch. I just don't know if I will be able to continue on the same...

Hi there Mike. I'm not on the net much any more. But every once in a while I can't resist popping in and seein what some of my bandmates are up to!!! :D How are the Dachay's doing?

46 days since anyone's posted in this thread. Time for a how diddly do!!!

Hi Bill!!! I live in Nashville and I am a songwriter. I just don't get paid for it. :D Yet :D Good to see ya around dude. Hey, I thought of a couple cool collab covers the other day. Now I've forgotten them again. I went on vacation and my brain turned to...

Hey James. Congrats!! That sounds really cool!!! Maybe when I'm in the neighborhood sometime you can have me on as a special guest vocalist!! ;) :D Hi everyone else. Life sucks. Been too busy. Not writing enough. Hoping things will turn around in a month or so. Hope everyone else is doing fine!!

Hmm…I’ll play. It sounds like you might be writing for a different market than I am so it may not be of much help. Plus there is no “right way to do it” ;). I usually start with an idea. This is in the form of a hook or the premise of a song. I try to figure out what I want to communicate...

Hey Daniel. That all sounds wonderful. Looks like you gonna hafta start writing some jazz tunes ;) :D. Good luck to you and your wife!!!

Daniel, I completely understand. I did much the same thing a year ago or so. That's why I'm not hear all that much. I still love you guys (ahem...in a manly sort of way ;)) :D but I just needed to spend more time on writing and writing related endeavors. I have and it's paid off. I've made more...

Jack, You can throw out examples all day long. All of the examples you show above are examples of artists that write their own material. There is a WORLD of differnence between that and a non-artist writer trying to get a cut. That's what the Ralph Murphy stuff is about. It's a whole different...

Of course there is a lot of in between ground too. Folks who write because they have something to say and are skilled enought to say it in a way that translates to a hit song ;) :D. One other point. At least as far as the Nashville market goes. If you are writing what's on the radio, you are...

Thank you Layla & Gary. Gary is right. That is what I'm aiming at. I'm still shooting at a 1000 yard target with a 38 special, but I keep inching my way in closer to the target as I go :D There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing it just for fun. In fact I'm doing it because I love to do it...

Ralph Murphy is a writer's rep for ASCAP here in Nashville. That being the case he is talking, for the most part, about songs that are not written by the artist. Of course there are exceptions. Judging songs from non-artist writers compared to the songs the artist writes is a totally different...

Hmmm...I wanted to be a rock singer when I was young. I discovered 10 years ago that I could sing country pretty well. Wish I would have cultivated that earlier. Oh well :D Update on my goals... I’ve got two in the bag already, should have another done by the end of the month. On target so...

Happy 5K James!! :D

I have 2 GB of web space and 5 GB a day bandwidth. I'd be happy to host. I could set up an ftp account for y'all to access and everything. Let me know. :)
