I am song-writer rather than a performer, although I have played in bands and done some live gigs.

Having just read all the above, it does strike a chord... (pun not actually intended!)

I had already decided to do a number of versions of my best songs:

1. simple backing + 'song'
2. a fuller production (IF and only IF the song actually needs it..)
3. my own version with me performing it

On 1. & 2. above I have decided to use a professional singer as I am sick and tired of people criticising my vocal rather than listening to THE SONG.

As for the selling of the song side, I have worked in Sales & Marketing for twenty years so I have some thoughts on that! Also, I am voraciously reading/listening to any advice that is out there!

Good luck to one and all, including me!

New to BIAB and just got hold of a 2007 Megapak... but I have been writing songs for quite awhile... most of them hits (of course..) :-)
