Well perhaps is for you time in starting to think about the MUSIC PUBLISHERS.

Bit of Humour.

I don't see that bit of humour could kill the song. Contrary it could benefit it in popularity.

Náhrobní kámen - Petr Novák Semi recited songs,

I love songs like this when they are semi recited and I feel that there is a plenty of room for such songs in our time,

On the CAN CON.

CAN CON = Canadian Content = 2 in out of 3 to be in Canadian ownership. They say that CAN CON was developed as the protection to Canadian songwriters in against the American domination to the radio airplay.
When song - recording and production had been done in Canada then it is considered 100 % Canadian.
As the Czech born songwriter I feel restricted to be collaborating only with Canadians if I want my songs to be played on Canadian commercial radio stations.
=
But I belief that Can Con is a hog wash because when song lyrics and music are outstanding then there is no one to stop the song from the airwaves.
If it would be so then Canadians would never heard of the Beatles - Stones and so on.

What do you know about the Entartainment Lawyers ?

It has been said that the Entertainment Lawyers are the rare breed. In every city there are hundreds of lawyers around but true Entertainments Lawyers are not.
Any lawyer is able to help you to sign music publishing or record deal contract but only true Entertainment Lawyer will know what is going on.
=
They are highly respected and valued by whole  Music Industry.

What do you know about the Music Publishers ?

It is often said that music publishing is a least known segment of the music industry in understanding.
=
It is like this. When ever any artist comes up with the hit song what will get him or her sign to the major record label.
And then in one year time the record company is anticipating a release of new album of equal or better in hits standing.
=
Sad to say but Muses are some times stingy when it wilothingl come to writing hit after hit. And so artists manager have to turn to the music publishers for help.
=
Many songwriters feel offended by the prospect of sharing the royalty with the music publisher.
Cliff Jones did explain this situation on my seminar like this. If you write a hit song it is 100 % yours.
But your hit song is bringing you 100 % of nothing.
However when you will sign your song with the music publisher who will ask you for 50 % of your song.
Then you will have a 50 % of something. And what is better 100 % of nothing or 50 % of something ?
