Wow! Scads of new messages already--you all don't miss a trick...thanks! I'm writing all this down...Admittedly, I don't have HUGE ambitions as yet. Shopping the demo to major labels isn't even on my mental horizon; in any case, an indie label is likely more my style (for now). What I have in mind is to lay down half a dozen well-polished tracks that I can use for a variety of purposes. But again, I'm really unfamiliar with the norm. I've done one audio recording session to date (a children's fantasy film I sang the lead in), and that's pretty much it. I'm more or less sticking my big toe into shark-infested waters here.
Thanks again for all the feedback...
Moll
