Night time whispers, night time whispers. Great documentary on this underworld. I really enjoyed watching it. Don't think I could ever work in that industry though. Special thanks to songpoemguy for sharing this with me. Mark

@musicalheat Don't worry about it too much. Most of the songwriters came across, to me, as sincere and talented writers, who simply lacked musical training/experience. With a band and time to practice, experiment, rehearse most could be getting a small following.
