Kemmrich I do see what you are saying. Over the past fe years I have written many songs. I just finished another today that makes 433 songs. As I mentioned since 2010 I have written 3 songs per week, so I have sharpened my songwriting skills somewhat but I would like to do more with them. I have tried YouTube, but I have found to get a substantial number of hits you have to pay for the advertising. Now, the reason that I did not release all 433 songs on YouTube or on this forum is because a record company may not accept it if people have already heard it. If you release it on the internet it, being your song is exposed to the public and the record companies don't want that. If you have the next big hit they don't want you to release it until they put the big money machine behind it. I have read enough articles to understand this. I really do appreciate all your information and will save it to my computer to use it. Thank you, you have been very kind in your response to my post.
