Scott, just a question out of curiousity. How long after the forward did it take you to hear back? Weeks, months, or years?

Terrell - this one was cool because it was the artist herself who was screening for the listing. I didn't know it at the time, but she wrote back that she was taking it right to her producer. This was also, as I remember, at about this time last year - right before Christmas when I get the forward. Then at the beginning of Feb she contacted me, said she was definitely interested and she'd like to record it right away. We signed a basic agreement - she recorded it - the CD came out late June and it was in the Top 3 on the Blues charts all summer long way into September. Since that time it is still in the top 20. What that means in total sales I do not know. Because of iTunes my song also appeared on the singles charts a few times also. I will find out more when I receive my first royalties. The agreement is "within 60 days of Dec 31st". It's actually twice a year, with June 30th being the other time, but the DC was released June 24th.

So we'll see. I have to also contact ASCAP to make sure that I receive royalties for her performances of the song since she did extensive touring. So much to do and know! :o

Cheers,
Scott
