Hey MAB! If I move to Nashville, how long will it be before I can expect to fully support myself with songwriting? I have a great work ethic! I have enough money to last at least a few months. Also, I recently won a song writing contest here in my hometown. It's a GREAT song about Partying out in the country, on an old RED dirt road, with a Bon Fire, Trucks with BIG tires and lots of hot girls in very short shorts, being watched over by Angels and the spirits of friends who died too early. Oh yeah, there's long necks and bottles of JACK as well. It's got EVERYTHING! No wonder it won the contest. My freinds and family all say that my songs are WAY BETTER than the crap they hear on the radio! They have great taste. LOL! Seriously, I can make it for maybe 4 or 5 months if I have to, without my first royalty check. Am I being too optimistic? Hi to everybody here!
IMO you can make it real big if you pawn your guitar and "borrow backing tracks " and growl bad rhymes to them .
Drop off copies of your cds EVERYWHERE. Someone cool is bound to pick them up.
