We are straying just a tiny bit from Cochran's original video. His underlying current was "Give them a lot of stuff so they don't forget your name. Keep your name in their faces as much as possible so they don't forget your name." That is what "build your brand" is all about. That concept has been the same since we were all young aspiring musicians. Overall though, isn't that kind of insecure? Should you really be concerned that people won't remember you unless you plaster the web with your name and face?
Isn't another way of not being forgotten to create something unforgettable?
I mean, I don't really care either way. I have always been a supporting player. I was always a guy in the background who played in the band but was not featured. It was not in my cards to be a star. That doesn't mean that I don't take pride in what I do. And to that end, I am in the camp where I want things polished and as close to perfect as my skills will let me get it.
I posted that song Groundhog Day about 6 weeks ago. I played lead sax on it. Had someone at the skill level of Notes done the lead sax, I am sure it would have been better. But that was MY perfect. His perfect is a different perfect. So in line with the general tone of many responses, until someone can define perfect, it's still all subjective.
To the topic of that video that started this discussion, as far as people remembering me, I have a fairly long list of people I wish WOULD forget about me!
