Thank you that's very helpful information!!

I have rough home mixes of the songs that will be included on an album that are just fairly ok. I have some studio tracks and will be going back in the studio (when I have more money) to have the remaining tracks re-recorded then full album mixed and mastered. While I put the funding together, can I send the album in to the copyright office and will that copyright carry over to the songs once I have the final, professionally done, masters? Or do I need to have the final product done before copyright? The songs will be essentially unchanged just much better recording and final mixing.

I really dug the Eurythmics and the original song and whilst I am not a big fan of Marylin Manson I think this cover was much more suited to the lyrics. I'm sure some of you will think this belongs in the "other" thread though . . .

Kind of a rockin' country thing I wrote for my wife when I first met her. With our 25th Anniversary a couple weeks away thought I should actually finish it . . . Finally got around to doing a full arrangement. I think I may be getting the hang of this - Thanks to all the knowledge and tips I found on these Forums!

From one of my favorite albums . . .

I may be the only one to have ever heard this LOL

That's a pretty good tune! Reminds me of a band I like - just can't figure out which. I was (still am) fascinated with space also. As for the age thing, well, I was 9 when my dad, grandfather and I watched Neil land on the moon . . . Again, Great tune!
