Hey, it's the internet. You can be anything you want to be. grin


Unfortunately it does seem to me that most of the money goes to people who ENABLE musicians in some way, either through software, gear, networking web sites, CD marketing, Booking, Lessons, Music critique, etc.

And the irony is that we are becoming conditioned to accept the paradigm of paying for the privilege of having somebody tell us our songs suck.

So here's my money-making idea: Send me your song and $6. I'll tell you its no good then send it back to you. ;-)
