My First Library Deal!!!!

Post by bobbymartin » Thu Feb 20, 2025 6:10 pm

Back in November I submitted a solo Resonator slide guitar stomp instrumental for a swampy Blues instrumental listing.
It got forwarded! YAY! My First one.
Three months later and ....this morning I got an email from a library that posted the listing and signed a deal for the track with them!
FIRST DEAL!! YAY!
I am beyond excited, but even better than that, I am driven to work even harder at this. Yes, more, more, more.......
One done!

Hi Bobby;
Very cool news & CONGRATS from an old-guy forums lurker...
who has hired some good Dobro (resonator slide guitar) players for my own-use projects;
it's one of my favorite instruments - but one of the ones I do NOT play.

If you haven't read about or visited it yet, you might consider checking out this site:

Congrats on the deal! Also, are you saying your first forward ever led to a library deal? That's pretty rare! You're like a unicorn. ;)

Thank you very much! I had to say something I was so excited.
I am really looking forward to getting more involved with all this.
You know....more submissions, more forwards but also the forum and getting to know the community.
Thanks again,
Bobby
