Two of my favourite songs, 'Just Married' and 'Treasure Of Your Love' both smash hits all those years ago. Sadly, they were never hits here in the UK. I really enjoyed listening to what you had to say about the songs. Best wishes Barry from the UK.
I just wanted to say that "I Wonder What She's Doing Tonight" has been one of my favorite songs since it came out half a century ago. If Barry himself reads this, thank you for writing it.
@ovnilab I not only wrote "Just Married", I published it. The record company is supposed to send out a license just before they record it, but more often than not, they used to do it after the fact. I was paid the full royalty due me as a writer and publisher. Hope that helps.
Hi Barry, Great story! Can you tell us a little about the "deal structure" most of us know about how the artists and songwriters got really screwed in their contracts (and still do) so if you could embellish some on how you fared when it came to how much you got paid in royalties etc? Since you just sent the songs in and they recorded them, did they do it with no contract in place or?
@ovnilab Sorry for the late response, but yes, we do plan to release an iPad or iPhone version in the future. It is not currently in development, so it's difficult to say when, but we'll definitely keep everyone posted. Feel free to call or email us for an update from time to time.
I have a suggestion/request. It would be fantastic if we could us MasterWriter as a iphone and iPad app! Any plans to port a version that could work on smartphones? It woul have been great to use MasterWriter on my iPad! Cheers!
Fantastic Barry!
enjoyed it immensely. thank you

This is absolutely fantastic. Love hearing these stories from such a successful and terrific songwriter.
