"Are you ready to write a GREAT song in 2 days?"

You can write a great song in 10 minutes on the back of a napkin, although Lennon preferred to use hotel stationery.

Or, for the mere pittance of $150 (and another $60-$120 for rooms), you can take a two-day workshop to learn how to make songs that sound exactly like everyone else! Wow! There's a formula. No musical expertise required. Experience as a Mouseketeer is a plus.

"Do you want to pitch a song to a Nashville Publisher LIVE?"
I'd rather pitch flaming embers at them or perhaps pitch the Nashville Publisher off the roof of a tall building. LIVE!

This is an experience I would expect to be part of the $150 package.

This should be one of those, we pay you seminars. It is for the industry and they want you to pay to help them. Right.
