So unless you write, if you're a smaller artist, you can't make money. So
how did Margo Timmins buy her farm? What has Jonatha been living on? John
Hiatt? How did David Lahm get to make a second album in a wonderful but
restrictive niche market of Jazz fans who know Joni? If it's impossible to
make money on a "short" run, then the entire CD industry in the UK is losing
money and actually folded decades ago despite appearances. :)
The assertion that Joni's albums don't make money just doesn't hold up under
scrutiny.
My two cents,

Ranger Rick remembers:
***************
Joni has stated in interviews that none of her records have ever made money.
The only reason she can make a living from music is that she owns the
publishing rights to her music.
