Song-Writing Game Requires Hard Work and Patience
New York AP reports Lou Levy of Leeds Music and Andrews Sisters fame argues amateur songwriters fail by not working hard enough or polishing work. He notes many seek New York first, should first record demos, and that publishing odds are slim but gold exists in song profits with persistence and skill. Levy, who bought rights and built a 17,000 copyright portfolio, likens song value to investment. He cites Heartaches and Ficeolo Pete as examples of profitable titles. He says America must embrace piano culture, imagining widespread affordable pianos to revive Tin Pan Alley.
