I have written music since I was five. I got real tired of those colors. ( learn by color technique. ) I studied music until the instructors walked in and said " what do you think ? "I knew I was in trouble, learning was done. ( Colorado University, Cecil Effinger.") My son bought me a writing program in '05. What an amazing gift, I don't care where I go, what an amazing gift. I can now write what I hear in my head.

Hi Lawrence--Thanks for listening to "Best Girl in the World (for Molly)". I appreciate it! I'm still trying to figure out the new Broadjam changes, too. That's very cool that you are on Spotify and Amazon too! I looked up your Spotify songs and started listening. I say started because I'm trying to figure out how to just listen to them without it just playing other people's songs. I'll keep trying, though. Are you going to put more songs out there? I'm compiling a second album now.

I have 3 playlists started each one will be a 10 -18 song album. In total I have 14 albums on my computer right now. I know I am missing 2 good ones. I have signed as a publisher, it seems to make things go smoother. I hope it all works out. I got a couple of your songs tonight. I"ll be back.

I just wish that I could write as well as you. I have a synth piece that I wrote in 2006 up on spotify-Morning.

Lawrence--you have a lot of talent and depth in your music. I enjoy listening to your pieces!

I want to invite you to a sync licensing webinar as soon as I figure out how to do it. I may not make it because of a prior commitment. If not interested let me know.

I figured out how to play your songs on Spotify--I had to use my laptop and not my phone. You put a variety out there! I liked all of them, but I'm curious about the longer songs. Do you record sections and then put them together? I know I couldn't make a clean recording over 4:30 minutes. About the sync webinar is this something I would need to join, or just watch? I've seen some before and they have some good points, but things I've tried haven't got me any closer to any placements.

It seems that Jody Friedman has kind of partnered with Michael Eisner and Michael is presenting the webinar. I have never had to join anything, though I have tried to. Actually I have never tried for a placement other then on Broadjam. I really needed to learn more, and these two have given me a lot to work on.
It seems that my DAW can handle any length. But I was very dissapointed with "Morning" when I played it. There was a lot of distortion. My tv?

I have submitted to TAXI (over 10 years ago) and Broadjam opportunities, but no where else. I have songs in a few song libraries (mainly from those opportunities) but they just sit in the libraries, waiting for a music supervisor to stumble across them. When I've seen ads for Jody you can watch some of his input for free, but then it turns into a service to pay for to get more helpful information.

Also, your songs didn't sound distorted on my laptop.

That is a real relief. about my song! SOOOOO..... You have been in the desert also. I thought it was my personal possession. It sure is big and empty. Jody does charge, sometimes a lot. I just squeezed every free thing out of him that I could. His last podcast on PRO's is very interesting because he includes information on YouTube that I never knew before. Also Royalty Free libraries, spotify and a lot more stuff. Michael charged an entry fee for his upcoming sync-challange, 47$. I nervously scan my account every day until it refreshes next month, but every title of the training dealt with issues that I am dealing with right now. I also have a 60 page book of music libraries to submit to, if I am sure that they can use my product. I have a pile of material to consume at my own pace, and the lessons start tomorrow. I am delighted and citted to say the least. Will forward good stuff.

It sounds like we are on the same page. I'm focusing on releasing another album and try to get on Spotify playlists (the next hurdle that may be impossible but going to try). I started to read about royalty-free libraries, but have questions and don't know who to ask.

Watch https://open.spotify.com/episode/2R sTQNfZZZvDleVXbsPqiM?si=ziVHQFVKSje JEmQ3nhcgpw

In English " The Importance of Performance Rights Organizations.
You Tube link https://youtu.be/b-VhAfpWMEM

We know all about pro's but it is what he shares on royalty free library's, and Spotify and You Tube that will shake your boat. It certainly shook mine!

Hi Lawrence--
"Pace" is beautiful, mysterious, hopeful, and complex. Both versions are beautiful!
