How does it feel

When a song in which you put your heart is finally sung by people around you??
Have you ever had this chance?
I have never had any airplay, but I created a buzz in my hometown, and I sometimes hear some guy humming along to a tune I wrote... And it feels terrific, man, I have written a tune that people enjoy humming!! Please share your thoughts

Haven't had that happen yet, but from time to time, usually on my walk to the bank to do the pay check thang, I'll hear "BOCCE WAGON!" shouted from the window of a passing car. It feels pretty good.

My previous girlfriend, she used to tell me that my songs were good but I never really had the feeling that she was sincere. I gave her my demo tapes all of the time, and she listened to them once or twice and said, "that's nice honey, " and then simply went on with her merry ways. I was at the point where I felt I needed to know how she really felt when it came to my songs, I didn't want her to just say she liked my stuff because of our relationship together.

However, there was that one defining moment when I heard her singing a few of my songs in the shower (word by word) and something like that well it really makes you feel good. So there was only one thing I could have done at that point, jump in the shower with her!

I remember, back in the 80's (I'm WAY old, you see), when my first bad recorded an EP. We sold about 500 copies--not a big deal, but we were pleased.

Anyway, one day I'm sitting at a light, and some guy pulls up next to me, playing the tape in his car. It's a really good feeling when someone actually enjoys your stuff!

I get some airplay, and it is cool to hear your music on the radio, even if someone else is doing it. And it's cool when you are playing at a gig you've done before, and someone requests one of your songs. And it's real nice when you get your BMI check and publisher's checks about 4 times a year. I don't make enough on royalties to live on exclusively , though, so I still have to do the road thing most of the time, usually out west in casino's. I am making inroads into the internet radio stations and music services. It seems to be more fair as far as compensation is concerned, and I am getting a lot more airplay, and even getting to do my songs myself, for a change. It's a little early to tell, yet, but this could be the future of musical creativity. I would advise everyone to check it out. My online publisher is at http://www.trowbridgeplanetearth.com.
