I was just wondering, from a more experienced musician, what sort of deal is this offering me? And, I know this seems silly, but I don't know if my material is available for licensing and distribution. I have copies of both my albums, and can get more quickly, and it is not currently under any contract to anyone, so does this mean it is available for licensing?
I've waited for label interest for years, and when it finally comes I don't have a clue what to do!
Thank you for any help and advice you might be able to give.
