John and Sonicbids Folkies – information such as this , which is provided in the interview is so helpful! I myself have to say that it is a great boon to have specific pointers and guidelines about how to tailor submissions and brush up the music… MORE LIKE THIS! Thanks, Travis

Hi John,

Thanks for taking the time out and help us with the knowledge of Licensing. I really appreciated the interview, extremely helpful. How is the market for Smooth Jazz groups? Not alot of lyrics but will do some.

Just to say thank you to Sonicbids and to folk like John Carlson for these interviews. They do give solo writers/performers like me quite a lot of useful insight and info – and they’re great focusing tools, too.

Best wishes,

Jamie
