Fun web-site Byard. Reminds me of all the tapes i use to get in the mail all
the time from people all over the country and beyond...just hoping and
praying i could get them a record date. Usually i just critiqued their demos
and sent them encouragement..........never to be heard from again. The music
business is a very tough business to succed in. There are litterally scads
of people with talent out here....but to really make it, at least in the
Jazz world, you need more. For the most part, you need a gift. And there's a
serious diff. And even then, you need the willingness to pay some SERIOUS
dues, the ability to put yourself in the right place at the right time, and
the physicall and metal toughness to survive. The compitetion is fierce. So
the social skills that are needed are pretty rough too. The bottom line is
the fact that music, and the music business, have basically NOTHING to do
with eachother, not intrinsically, not spiritually, or any other way. But,
they are forced to be in bed together. As we say, "Rough Out Here." And it's
worser than ever. Most lables are run by lawyers and accountants nowdays.
Who don't know a whole note from notepad. I wish her good luck. mark.....
