I am very excited about Anne's news... can you tell us more? The involvement of a prominent band may have a magnet effect...
But here is the big question: should we try to find out if there are complete versions of the songs before proceeding? Did I post my copyright research results? I believe that Paul Williams submitted several complete songs... yet except for "Wardrobe of Love" and Dangerous Business" we don't have any complete songs, only fragments...
hey group,
wow - it's the long-awaited Year of Ishtar! a friend's band is
potentially interested in covering a song for a potential cover album
(they're a real band, signed with a major label and everything). what
next? let me know -- anne.
