Mistakes by Songwriters

I'm amazed at some or most of the songs I receive in demos from songwriters. A great many of them will send a song that they wrote and perhaps even recorded 20 years ago or more. It's very common for me to receive songs that have been written and recorded 30 years ago or more too.

Haven't these songwriters listened to the radio lately? You have to understand that if you're going to write a song that you want to submit to a publisher then the song MUST be what the publisher is looking for today. Unless you want to waist your time, the Postman and the Publisher's time and have nothing better to do than I guess it's okay.

But, if you're a songwriter who has found this blog, please make sure that when you send your material it's updated. Whether you're going to send it to Corelli's Music Box, BMI or My Angel's Songs, ASCAP or another publisher please have mercy.
