MUSIC: Intellectual Property Law

0

I filed my first copyright in 1978 and am now able to do so electronically.  It’s not just vanity.  I work at trying to get my songs recorded, licensed or somehow making money for me.

Along the way, I’ve taken an interest in the business side of music.  Frankly, if any musician is serious, I think this is a necessity.

Attorney and pianist Janie Gust has the first of a two-part series Who Owns the Song? Intellectual Property and the Musician (Part I)

Songwriting Help – How To Write A Song Today!

0

John Lennon was asked, “What do you write songs about?”

And he answered, “Whatever annoys you.”  (From what I’ve read, John probably used a stronger word than “annoy.”)

I recommend checking in on Corey Stewart Songwriting Tips regularly.  A recent posting there says, “To be a songwriter you need to have the mindset of one. Always be on the lookout for an idea.”

You can check out some methods of determining the subject of your next song, and how to always have a “next song.”

Is There A Doctor Rockin’ The House?

0

The term “Doctor” is horribly over-used.

There are people in every field — Dr. Dre is a rapper, Dr. Laura is a physiologist who took a minor course in marriage counseling, Dr. Phil started out as an owner of workout gyms and picking juries for lawyers.

I lived in Oklahoma where every other person had a doctorate from some unaccredited bible college as a Doctor of Divinity (money-begging preacher).

So what about music?

Doc Pomus wasn’t a doctor — but he sure could write a great song (Save The Last Dance For Me; Viva Las Vegas)

“Doctor doctor give me the news, I got a bad case of lovin’ you!”

“I don’t need no doctor, ’cause I know what’s ailin’ me.”

… and I will leave you with the words of the wise old Witch Doctor —

Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang

Songwriting Collaboration

0

The SongWriting Fever Blog is adding a new forum section: SongWriting Collaboration Requests

In that section you can describe your songwriting collaboration needs and your project and what you do and ask for songwriters who are interested in collaborating with you.

I’ve done a lot of internet collaboration over the years — with people from Australia, Canada and all over the USA.  I’ve only met two of them — but made some great friends.

Collaboration opens up a lot of doors — you can take part in things you could never do on your own.

Check it out — you may get hooked on collaboration.

Songwriting Tip – Don’t Put Up Listening Barriers For Your Audience

0

Make your songs as easy for your potential listeners as possible.

Pretty good advice — and surprising how many songwriters don’t follow it.

I’ve sat through enough workshops and seminars through the years to realize that many artists think that obscurity makes them seem deep. Or maybe they try to camoflage their lack of ideas, musicality or originality in (what basically amounts to) dreck.

You can learn a lot of things about songwriting over at Corey Stewart Songwriting Tips.

He currently has an article by Sheena Metal which outlines some of the barriers that songwriters put up and how you can remove them from your audiences way.
