So glad you enjoyed it. Peter is a fantastic guy– a real inspiration to alot of songwriters. Hope you’ll try to be a part of the New York Songwriters Collective and keep up on their activities. Really appreciate your support of the blog.

I love the honesty in this article, no one can predict a hit or your success, but the foundation can be put in place for you to know the in stone foundational principals of hit making. So cool.
Are you thinking of coming west with a chapter? that would be AWESOME!

Very interesting to here about. Curious…it seems as though this is a good way to see what folks want to hear ( straight from the hoss’ mouth). It also appears to be a great way for me to put my music in front of people.

It is a very nice place both for musicians and songwriters to stay together, collaborate and discuss different topic of own choice

I’d be interested to read more about Israelite’s Section 115 Reform idea if you know any online resources.

Hi Eric,

Realistic expectations and candid as usual. That combination is hard to find elsewhere. Still chasing the long tail with a mobile recording studio.

Thanks!
Quincy

Hey Eric! Thanks for an informative, illuminating post (as always)!

Here’s something I don’t understand: blanket fees have always seemed to me like a Band Aid; a relatively simplistic solution that attempts to bypass the problem of being unable to correctly measure a myriad tiny revenue streams, by covering them with a ballpark sum that seems appropriate to all sides concerned.

However, in the era of Sound Exchange, exact play counts and analytic tools which allow even end users (let alone the big guys) access to precise market data, why is the industry still considering ballpark-mentality business models? Isn’t it entirely possible to fairly pay those licensing fees based on precise analytics, rather than throw blankets over the issue?

At any rate, thanks again for sharing your insights – looking forward to your next post!
