[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [music_in_action] Songwriting Contest Sept 30th Deadline

I get a lot of e-mails like this. It's always the same thing. You win
money money money! What an honor! What a thrill! How lucrative!

but then you look at the application, and they want something that
they never mention in the e-mail - a chunk of money to enter.

They are just redistributing money from one songwriter for another,
taking their share in the process.

Come on, I can do that! Send me $10.00 and e-mail me an mp3. I'll
decide which one I like best, and I'll send the winner most of the
money. Do it now!

I'll bet not one person does this. Why? Because I'm being honest. I'm
telling you up front that I am running a lottery for songwriters.
They are doing exactly the same thing!

Don't compete against other songwriters in lotteries - work together
to improve the lot of all songwriters!

Thank you for your time.
