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?
