Hey JBell!  I've read your story and I've listened to your song.  I've also sent you a couple of emails and haven't heard back.  I wanted you to call me, so I could tell you what I want to do.  I want to change your account on here to a free-permanent account.  I appreciate your struggle and that's something I'm able to do to help.  I don't have much money myself, and am just trying to make a go of this site so I will have something to leave behind for my son when I go, and so that I could help people like you.  The music business isn't always kind, but I'm hoping I can help it to be better.

I've been struggling with this music business for 24 years, and it takes a lot out of us.  But as long as there is something left of us, then we still have something to give.  And this, I can give to you.

I'm going to kill the songwriter account you created along with the trial subscription.  I will change this account from a singer/musician account to a songwriter account so that you can get on the songwriter's forum.  And I will set it to be free and expire December 31, 2049.  I will be long gone by then, but I hope that both you and the site are still around.

So, load this account up all you can, and take advantage of the site.  And please post lyrics if you can to your songs.  I don't hear well and I follow the lyrics along when I listen to each song.

Dave Johnson
