This thread has got me off my rear end and doing a lot of things I have been putting off for a very long time.

There are a few cover songs I would like to do but more importantly, I have around two hundred finished songs I need to send to ASCAP.

I am not sure what the future is going to be so if there is a chance to sell some stuff to the overhead market, I should do that.

2020 was a remarkable year for my business here. 2021 is causing me big problems with lack of labor and supplies. I may have to close that business move assets to the ranch.

I have enough at the moment but the possibility of another revenue stream is something to seriously think about.

All the different platforms and changing copyright issues most likely will require the advice of a current music business lawyer. Everybody is ready to sue everybody nowadays. That is the last thing I need to have to deal with. I can tell you from experience in the construction business you never know what the outcome will be when you have to go to court.

Music is fun. The music business is not fun at all.

Cheers,

Billy
