The artist who you sent it to may love it, but it's still got to pass the record company (hell the artists fav. song may not even make it on the album[depending on the label]). Like producers and sound engineers, they got there own market they would rather shop at. The business of today goes more by "who knows you" more than anything, especially entertainment. Sad but true. Without a name it's like trying to hit the lotto, good luck!

Never a truer word was spoken. Except when Joe Satriani came up to me and was like "Dude, you rock!"...oh...wait...that didn't actually happen. But Noticing is right, America (and even Canada, though not as much) is a huge place. 250 million people live in the U S of A and you're just one of them. If you don't know one of those 1% of Americans who have connections, then the music biz is a craps shoot. A craps shoot where you're betting on getting 13 and only rolling two dice.
