I'm new to songstuff. I'm hoping to find at least one person to work with me. I have maybe a few dozen songs--lyrics with melodies, mostly in the bluegrass/county-ish vein. My goal is to find someone with whom to produce demos good enough to peddle, especially bluegrass songs. Making money isn't my purpose. I would just like for other people to enjoy these songs. All of them are good to very good. One or two of them might be great, with the right production. Most were written quite a few years ago. I'm at least semi-retired now and finally have time to devote to this. The only reason I have these songs is that they just popped into my head from time to time. I have always had a strong creative streak, and I like (some of the) music in all genres, but it has never been a big part of my life. I have a couple of songs that are from the female perspective and a couple more that could be performed by female a (without any gender-bending). To be clear, this isn't about hoping for romance. I'm past all that. I don't play an instrument, though I can use a guitar to work out a basic chord progression for a melody. I don't really have a voice good enough for even a 'finished demo. One thing I have learned is that a demo can be simple, but it has to be 'professional grade' in every respect. The days of scratchy demos on a basic recorder are past. I think in part the publishers and all want to see how much their supplicants are willing to put into it, even if being a performer isn't the goal. I also have a Christmas song that is neither bluegrass nor country--or pop. Actually, it would be a great song for a chorus to perform. In my head, it has lots of cascading tubular bells. So. Anyone here interested in giving it a shot?
