Songs reviewed:
Peter Stone - Cogs 
Ali Galata - Mirror 
Scott Rustin - Lifelines 
Polar Mind - The Stars behind 

Questions:
1. Is it worthwhile joining associations such as International Songwriters Guild? I thought their copyrighting service seemed pretty important.

2. Are songwriting contests scams or can they be useful?

3. When playing songs live and talking about them, what information adds extra value and what might spoil the experience for the listener?
