com/news/DATELINEâ€â€?front " His father eventually sought treatment and is now 84 and "in the happiness of retirement," Phillips said " "My heart still pounds and aches when I think about it," Phillips said "Depression is not a character flaw," he said it's very difficult to see them despondent and unresponsive even to the people they love NBC Host Promotes Depression Awareness May 9, 6:30 AM EST Stone Phillips, host of "Dateline NBC," said that when he was 10, his father suffered from severe depression that created "a really difficult time for our family " Phillips, a resident of Dobbs Ferry, spoke at a news conference Thursday announcing the launch of Westchester County's Depression Support Network, which includes an Internet site, a telephone hot line and a speaker's bureau "When a loved one is depressed " Phillips, 48, said that although his father had a paralyzed right arm from a World War II injury, "I think he would tell you that his injury was not as debilitating as his depression asp?cp11 westchestergov â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Westchester's Depression Support Network Web site: http://www msnbc "It's an illness and it can and should be treated com/mentalhealth/depression NBC Web site: http://www " Afterward, he and his wife, Christian songwriter Stephanie Lewis, said things are harder than even a few years ago, when the recession and file-sharing knocked the bottom out of the music industry The challenge now, they say, is for the record companies to catch up to changing technology and consumer demand "I think if they embrace different business models that are more consumer friendly, the songwriters will see more money " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www " A No But many professional songwriters are employed by publishing companies "I get at least a call a week, sometimes two, from people who had jobs in this business a year ago that are looking for work," Knobloch said Many in the industry â€â€? writers, producers, musicians, publicists â€â€? have lost their jobs in the shuffle The problem, he said, is that sales are off the pace set during country's commercial peak in the early and mid '90s "I don't think the music industry is going down the tubes," he said He said the publishing company he once worked for had more than 100 staff writers in 1993, a little more than 50 in 1997 and fewer than 30 today "Three people program 85 percent of all country stations in America," Herbison said "They're writing musical scores, producing and turning to television work 9 million in 2002 to 69 On a recent night at the Bluebird Cafe, a place where Nashville's songwriters come to hear and be heard, Jim Kimball picked a funky rhythm on his guitar as he sang a tune called "Cold Turkey "You want singles, and you want them bad Revenue from the sale of country music albums quadrupled between 1989 and 1995 to about $2 billion "It feels like in the past the situations that could turn into opportunities were more plentiful," said Kimball, who has lived here a dozen years "They've been using the same business models for 50 years," said David Cook, president of Belmont University's Copyright Society in the School of Music Business "They sit in office towers and don't know George Jones from George Clooney "We've lost more than half of America's professional songwriters over the past decade," said Bart Herbison, executive director of the Nashville Songwriters Association International A song that becomes a classic will continue to generate revenue for years to come, though much less than when it was new 3 million units "The ones staying alive have really had to adapt "This is a time when the business is shrinking Ultimately, many predict, the technology will help songwriters and performers more than hurt them " Songwriter royalties from CD sales are about 8 "We're not seeing that secondary buy as much now," Knobloch said As an established writer, Knobloch is able to work as an independent "If you go into a record store and your income is stretched or there is competing technology, you buy one CD and not two " Thousands of songwriters and fans have descended on Nashville this week for the association's Tin Pan South festival, which runs through Saturday But in recent years sales have stalled The big money for most successful songwriters is from performance royalties, which are paid when a song is played on the radio A series of mergers has left only five major music companies: Universal, Warner Bros Nashville's Songwriters on Hard Times Mar 30, 3:41 PM EST Nashville songwriters don't have far to look for inspiration these days Often, the songwriters' cut is even less because he has to share it with a co-writer He plays guitar in Reba McEntire's band, writes songs for movies and television and performs at clubs "Most of the songwriters who are making a living are stretching out," Herbison said " Kimball has had to adapt According to Nielsen SoundScan, country music sales fell nearly 10 percent last year, outpacing a decline of less than 1 percent by the industry overall and EMI, plus Sony and BMG, which are planning to merge "I see more artists relying on live performances because that is still the bread and butter for a lot of them 5 cents per song; that's usually split between the writer and the publisher Country album sales fell from 76 These factors have made it tougher to get airplay and the royalties that come with it, Herbison says In a town famous for churning out sad country songs about heartache and despair, radio homogenization, corporate mergers and music piracy have made it tough for songwriters to earn a living Country artists also rely more heavily than others on outside songwriters You can no longer depend on pitching songs, having two or three hits and making a living that way "The biggest lick a writer can make is having a single that does good on radio," said Fred Knobloch, who has written songs for Faith Hill, George Strait, Ray Charles and Trisha Yearwood " Unlike pop and R&B, which often rely on the genius of a brilliant producer, the soul of country music has traditionally been the lyrics and melodies of its songwriters Knobloch started that way too " As for music piracy, or downloading music for free from the Internet, everyone believes it's a problem, but not the worst one 1 single can generate $600,000 to $700,000 in royalties over the first two years of release, Knobloch said That money typically is split between the writer and the publisher " Herbison puts much of the blame on "radio consolidation," their term for stations playing a narrow variety of artists, fewer songs and relying on cookie-cutter programming tinpansouth com/ Songwriters also have had to contend with the consolidation of major record labels |
