In fact, I have never heard how it was used in the various shows and the made for TV movies. That is often the case. A statement shows up with a check from your PRO and it tells you what song in which shows and well.... good luck trying to find that show on-line. You normally have to wait a year for the new season to come out.

To me, it really doesn't matter. I'm busy writing and sending in more music. Maybe one day I'll get a chance to hear it and how they used it. For now, it's Write, Submit, Write, Submit...repeat. It starts slow and may be many months or even years before you get a cut. You just have to stay at it. Listen to what the current trends are.

Bluegrass used to be the hot music of the day... now I'm hearing more guitar based Rock cues and acoustic guitar cues. Remember when Uke music was the hot thing? Not anymore. Every 6 to 12 months you will notice a change. Stay Current.


Thanks again.

Now that I have submitted the first one, I do feel like it's going to be an interesting journey, and your advice is going to help me at least take step two and hopefully many more.

A friend of me that has been highlighted in TAXI's blogs and recent placements suggested using the http://www.hitlicense.com/ promotion website and service.

Do you use any promotion sites to go along with the licensing? It seems this might be part of the equation as well.
