Hello, I've been listening to "I Wish I Could Heal" your music on Broadjam page, really solid work. You've got a strong sound with clear potential beyond just streaming. A lot of great artists get overlooked not because of talent, but because their music isn't positioned the way industry decision-makers expect. I help artists turn their catalog into sync-ready, industry-aligned assets, with professional visuals and branding that improve discovery, pitching potential, and overall presence. This helps with: • Sync and licensing opportunities • Stronger audience growth and engagement • A more polished, competitive artist profile Quick question -- are you currently focused on landing placements, growing your audience, or both? If you're open to a quick, no-pressure chat, I'd love to explore how we can elevate your positioning.

Thanks for the "connection".... Wanted to share this.... https://chetnichols.net/track/40206 77/the-love-i-want-to-show-band-ver sion Best Regards, Chet Nichols
Hi Chet, Thanks for the connection and for sharing your song with me. I really enjoyed listening to "The Love I Want to Show"it has a beautiful feel and thoughtful songwriting. I can hear the depth of experience behind your music. I also took some time to read through your site and biography, and I must say your journey in music is truly inspiring. Being inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame and working with so many legendary artists is incredible. It's always a pleasure to connect with someone who has such a rich musical history. I'm a vocalist and I love collaborating with songwriters and producers on different kinds of projects. If you ever feel that one of your songs could benefit from a female vocal interpretation or harmony, I would be happy to explore that with you. You can check out some of my work here: https://www.reverbnation.com/seraph ina9 https://www.instagram.com/seraphina _wells01/ https://soundcloud.com/seraphina-we lls Thanks again for reaching out and sharing your music.

No Thanks....
Hi Chet, I have been listening to your music "Horse & Eagle" on Broadjam, and I genuinely enjoyed the depth and authenticity in your sound. There's a cinematic quality to your work that feels natural, immersive, and well suited for opportunities beyond traditional streaming. I work closely with independent artists to help position their music for real industry opportunities. This includes refining their overall presentation, branding, metadata, profile structure, and catalog organization, so their music not only sounds great, but also looks professional and aligns with what music supervisors, curators, and other decision makers expect demand. I'm curious, are you currently focusing more on sync/licensing opportunities, or is your main goal growing your streaming audience? If you're open to it, I do be glad to have a brief, no pressure conversation about your goals and see if there's a practical way I can support your direction. Either way, keep creating, your sound truly has a distinctive quality and strong potential. Best regards, Peter Brad Music SEO & Sync Positioning peterumehmedia@gmail.com
Chet! Many thanks for the 5 stars on Gotta find me a woman. Done in 1972 and made my band "Tarbaby" famous around Tallahassee and the Southeast for 5 years. I was 23 living in the country and that record was a taste of what true success was like! Always an extreme pleasure when you surface my friend! Pat
You Are welcome, PAT, the Cat in the Hat. Meeeeow!
sent you a mail, Thanks!!!
Hey Emily, thanks for the "Friending".... You are a great talent.... Rockford, eh? I am east of that in Hickory Corner.... Keep up the great work. We gotta beat back the AI with truth, honesty and authenticity..... Best, Chet Nichols .... http://www.chetnichols.net 1
Hey Chet. Thanks for the 5 stars on fantasy time. I did that in Memphis with members of black oak Arkansas a while back. Always a pleasure to hear from you. I will listen to your song about friends passing. I had 5 go in two weeks last month. Something we never get used to! Take Care! Pat
Hey Baby, thanks for the review of my hopeful song of people passing away. Tough topic to write about and do it well. Yeah, as a sync song it would have to find the just the right opportunity. Oddly enough, I just wrote it after my brother and sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly as a way to release my grief. I have placing sync songs for about 50 years so I know that game. It is much harder these days. As a HOF writer/artist I have learned to just honor an idea and write the song and it will find a home somewhere. A lot of my vintage songs from the 60's and beyond are popular because producers are looking for that a lot these days. That said, the song, "The Sands Of Time", has been in a tug of war between to entities. One is a movie studio and the other is my "contract" publisher, Sony Music....who I decided to work with them yesterday. Wonders never cease in the music bizz. Best of luck with your endeavors.... Chet
Hey Chet, Glad you liked my funky track "Muscle Scholls Blues". lyrics would be great.....let me know I checked out a lot of your stuff.... Impressed! Thanks Marvin
Thank you for your review, However I think you need to refresh your computer. My songs are there. Maybe there's a glitch on your side you're not aware of
Hey Baby, how you doing. Not my computer.... probably a player issue with BJ. I am constantly reviewing songs and sometimes...it gets a little wonk-kay. NO harm meant... love to hear the track....zip-it to me on the Kango Line, dig?
Really enjoyed your tracks, the vibe and production feel intentional and well thought out. You've built a sound that translates beyond just listening and feels ready for a wider audience. I genuinely enjoy supporting artists like this and helping connect their music with active listeners who appreciate the sound and actually engage. I'd love to stay connected and hear more about what you're working on, and explore simple ways to help expand your fan base and improve sales. If you're open to a brief chat, feel free to reach me. Great work, this really deserves a wider ear. Cheers, Peter
Hi Chet, Thanks so much for the 5 Star rating on When I Believe. I really appreciate you listening to it, and I'm glad you liked it. It's been a minute, so while I'm here, I'll have a listen to a song or two. Thanks again.... be and stay well! Frank
Hello My Musical Friend! Thank for the review of "Gunther" Chet! I did that a while back in Memphis with members of "Black Oak Arkansas" To get a rating like that from you makes me happy! You are a dynamic powerhouse and that just keeps soaring! What a Great mentor to have for any songwriter or artist! All The Best From Florida! Pat
My Pleasure, now, pass the plate of nip over to me...

Hi Michael, thanks for the review of my "live version" of my song, "Lumbering Mountain". It was recorded "live back" in 1971 at the astute Cowtown Ballroom in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. That is a "real live audience" and not AI. They didn't have AI back in 1971. And as far as I can remember, there were no "live clapping seals in the back ground". That particular evening, I was performing my opening show for The Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra at Cowtown. It was the first time that a Philharmonic Orchestra had ever performed at a rock 'n' roll venue. That was one of the very few "live performances" recorded of my shows, which is odd considering I toured as a solo-act from 1967 till 1981 and was playing about 150-180 shows a year. But, the NAME act normally were the ones who the sound guys recorded. I toured and opened as a solo, singer-songwriter and performer on guitar, piano, dulcimer and harmonica for people like: Linda Ronstadt, John Denver, The Jefferson Airplane, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, BB King, Poco, Eagles, John Lee Hooker, the Dead, Janis Joplin, Jethro Tull, Brewer & Shipley, Charlie Daniels, Kris Kristofferson, The Guess Who and many others. It was an amazing period in my career. After my final performance, the orchestra had me join them playing harmonica. After that the conductor gave me one of the gold-leaf music stands as a gift from the orchestra. I still feature it proudly in my studio. Yes, the track may not be one of the vintage pristine "live tracks" from the era because the mic set-up was set to record the orchestra, so it is a little uneven, but the essence shines through. I am grateful we could salvage the old tape and make a couple passes to transfer it to a digital format many years later. Also, respect your not caring for the song. Not every song is for everyone. I respect other people's opinions. I wrote that song as a tribute to my long-time acoustic guitar, "Polly", that I had custom-made back in 1966. I toured with "Polly" for years and is still my main recording guitar for acoustic. Every other guitar-ist who heard that guitar offered to buy it. Stephen Stills adored that guitar and offered me $10,000 to buy it. I refused. "Lumbering Mountain" was one of Stephen Still's and David Crosby's favorite songs I had written. I created a very special tuning for that song. I used to climb the tall hill behind my Kansas farm with Polly in tow and sat at the top of the "mountain" and write songs. There is a version that is not a "live" version on my album, "Lumbering Mountain". So, there is a little background to this song. I am sorry it didn't live up to your standards and expectations. But, at the time, it was what came from my imagination. Hope you have a great Holiday! Chester
Thank you so much for the starts sir: They mean a lot coming from a man of your vast songwriting experience. Take care.
thanks for the stars
"Spinning on the Time Loop" is the Crocodile Rock Around the Clock! Terrific energy on the piano and a rockin' tune to go with it!
Hey John, Good Morning from the waving prairie of northern Illinois, where the trees are alive with a Kaleidoscope of colors as the harvesting machines moan softly in the early dawn retrieving the soybeans and corn from their moist beds of black soil..... love the term, "Crocodile Rock Around The Clock" of our time. Speaking of "Waving Prairie", I think you will love this track. It is one of my songs I consider a masterpiece.... https://chetnichols.net/single-the- waving-prairie
I must listen after we go to the grocery store this morning. Your poetic description of the prairie describes how lovely it would be in autumn. My memories of some beautiful places were US 151 through rolling hills of Wisconsin in 1973, when I think it was a two-laner, the only kind of road to see the countryside. I've been through Illinois on Interstate 80, freeways being a poor way to see anything. Also, the row houses along the northern approach into Dubuque. I have your song bookmarked. "Waving Prairie" looks like a signature song of yours. My guess that you have more signature songs, as terrific songwriters usually do. I've got to get around this morning. It wont be long before our boss, Meka, comes meowing to us for attention.
Hey, Chet. I listened to "Waving Prairie." That song is epic! Melody is energetic and vast as the prairie it's written about, lyrically amazing...great song of hope and determination. I love how clear and crisp the guitar strings are in the recording. Like I said, it's epic. Beautifully done! John
Hey John, THANKS for the wonderful review of my song, "Bernadelle". You got it! It is a story-telling song, which may not be in vogue, but I like to write songs that paint pictures. Edgar Allan Poe once mused, "The highest art form is the combination of music and words". I wrote the song to honor and celebrate, my first music teacher, Sister Bernadelle, whom I met in grade school, when I was 6 years old and who an incredible musician and artist and a Catholic nun. She was an amazing human being. She recognized my talents and nurtured them and taught me cello, piano and singing. Because of her skills as a teacher, people considered me a child prodigy on cello and piano, and I competed in many competitions bi-monthly from the time I was 8 till 14, when I went off to highs school. I never lost a competition. In the 7th and 8th grade, I became the first-chair Concert Master for the Chicago Archdiocese Orchestra as a cellist which was quite and honor because "first chair" always was award to the top violinist. I transitioned my love for cello to 6 string guitars. In my first group sing class, in first grade, was where she actually "discovered" me as my voice was so loud and high, it cut through the voices gathered students. As a child, I had learned to sing from my father, who was a popular opera and radio singer in Chicago in the 1930's AND my mother, who had a sweet, perfect voice that would serenade me to sleep after my father crossed-over-to-glory when I was 7. But Sister Bernadelle actually recorded me singing for the very first time when I was 6 on a shiny Wollensack reel-to-reel machine in her music room at school. I sang a song about bouncing a red rubber ball. I have never forgotten Sister Bernadelle. I wrote this song for her after wondering, "If she had not been a nun, where would she have lived, what would her life be like and what would she have done". As you listen to the song and read the lyrics...they will take you on that journey. Best. Chester
I listened again to "Bernadelle," read the lyrics over. That's a wonderful story you put together in a very poetic way. Very good fortune for her to have been such a mentor for you! Interesting and colorful past you've had doing music from the time you were very young. Have you found your songs read like a diary? My songs most definitely are. Best to you, too! John
Hey Chet, thanks for the review of Wanda the Wiper. It's actually a true story that happened to me on tour. She so impressed me and cracked me up. On the way home in the dark I was scribbling unintelligible lyrics on a little pad of paper to my right as I drove. 8 years later I tracked her down and talked to her on the phone and sent her my NanaTunes CD that had her song on it. She became famous overnight ha ha. MK
I knew who the song was by....and I KNEW....it was a true story.... I had a similar experience when I found out the hard way that a girlfriend has "dumped me"..... silly girl..... she came crawling back and I shook her hand and said, "Nice knowing you"..... but this is a fun song....

Continue producing great music! I will definitely listen to more of your musical wares. Until the next episode, keep it real, brother... John aka Solo.
Hey Scott! Thanks for the review of the my song, "The Last Riders On Route 66"! Much appreciated it. Back in 1967, during Spring Break, my buddy, Pete Reiter, and I threw caution to the wind and hitch-hiked from Oklahoma City to Laurel Canyon to Huntington Beach to Santa Monica and back to Oklahoma City in April over a 2 week period. WHAT AN ADVENTURE and tale. In fact, I got my first first big break as a solo act, when a club owner discovered me playing on the beach and invited me to come and play at his club across from the beach, where I opened for "Ian and Sylvia" for 2 nights. He paid me $50 for 2 shows per night and I could pass the hat and take home the tips. I paid for the trip from those two nights. Anyway, the story stayed with me as a couple years later I embarked on a solo-recording and touring career that took me all over the country for 14 and was especially used by access to Route 66. When I moved over to the film business and started writing scripts, I vowed to write the story of our Route 66 adventure....where it depicts my first leg of the journey riding with a friend who took me from Chicago to Oklahoma City where I attended Oklahoma City University my first year. So, I began writing a novel about my journey and named it, "The Last Riders On Route 66". It is now in in it's 4th pressing. You can get it at Amazon. ( https://www.amazon.com/Last-Riders- Route-66/dp/B0DGXNLN64/ref=tmm_pap_ swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se& dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QK7DeRNmyQenf4owm1 0cZsvOkUTfQuGQ-8lh8Ti1hI8dfChTa7LMc 9iyfQOYpODj0age0F8jvDF4ffw8YcmWeh9f W1MDJkRNlCAbQLYW83peDxi47l4yQ35R8uS JhY1UnCsNimJNvQNa-WRMow2YNg.XN59CFc QkKjElM337CqtyTdoHJ9jC2blO20NYES4sC 8&qid=1748448691&sr=8-1) Or you can get it directly from me at: https://chetnichols.net/novels I wrote the song, when a friend told me about an International Theme Song Contest about Route 66, so I modeled the song about the novel......AND...... it won the GRAND PRIZE!... The NEXT YEAR, the follow-up song, "The Mother Road", also won the Grand Prize. https://chetnichols.net/track/40055 85/the-mother-road-ts-band Anyway, I laughed when I saw you and done the trip too.... Hope you are well.... Chester PS ODDLY enough I have a 2nd meeting with a film producer who is interested with the story.....TODAY....
Wow hey that's a great story my friend. All I got was kicked of the beach at Laguna for sleeping. haha Long story short I ended up hitchhiking for the next two years and went coast to coast and had some amazing adventures. Great news about the film project I hope it goes well and I'll watch the movie when it comes out. Great song btw. Scott
There is a great line about hitch-hiking in my song, "The Waving Prairie".......Having done it. I picked up my fair share.....Once picked up a hitch-hiking, blonde model and her Congo drum out on the middle of the New Mexican desert. She was stunning and going to New York from LA. I really don't think she was human. Took her to Kansas and she stayed a couple AMAZING days and then....I woke up and she was gone...in the middle of the night.......Pooof. Best. Chet
Hey another great story Chet, someday I'll have to tell you the story of how I lost my boots in the back of a hookers Cadillac just outside of Reno. haha I had to go bear foot until I got to Yellowstone. So many great memories form the road. Take care. Scott
Hey Bartholomew....Thanks for the great review of my blues song, "I Come From Chicago"....wrote back in 1964.....and it has gone thru a few re-records... it is a great band song.... people love it when I play it...... Best, Chet Nichols ...... http://www.chetnichols.net 1
