as a huge cat lover..i loved your comment bout
writing songs bout cats. lol.
a very incisive comment. niche markets.
(i actually wrote a ruff song bout a siamese cat once.
comical ditty. just me being daft. )

what is interesting is..
when one actually talks to people bout how they might be hurting
the little struggling artist by getting stuff free,
most people actually get it.
i still believe most people are decent human beings.
normally the point i make is this (particularly to youngsters.)
viz.."when your older n start a band, fork out for gear and/or studio time,
how will you feel if zillions of people get your stuff for free".
its interesting how the arguments change when put in those terms.

frankly i agree with axegrinder.
the model is broken.
what concerns me are the likkle struggling artists n new ones
coming along.
and my REAL CONCERN is, in the future how many great songs
will never be heard by the mass consumer market cos artists
just dont want to put their stuff "out there" cos of the
many problems mentioned. therein lies the rub.
ive already come across gifted people who are starting to think like that.
thus the consumer is drip fed the sorta stuff we hear in todays top 20
on the radio.

ps..re my harmonica thread..a follow up.
well..lol...after listening to a ton of harmonicas over
the last few weeks from very expensive ones n ones with all the keys..
to c heapies...
whats interesting, and mebe i'm a dunce, but there didnt seem to me
to be a huge sound quality diff tween the pricey n cheap ones.
so as i'm just learnin at this stage i got a cheapie to futz around with.
