Hi Bud,

What surprises me is that you have not sold more "ultra ole skool blues tunes!"

In the last decade, the gaming industry has been smashing Hollywood’s earnings out of the park! Just in 2021, the Global “Games Market” had a whopping $180BN in revenue. In fact, Gaming is bigger than Hollywood and the music industry combined. In 2020 the music business only generated about $12 billion.

Roots Music Becomes a Major Player in Video Games

In 1971, Bruce Iglauer started Alligator Records. Over fifty years later, they are still going strong.

A quoit from Goldmine The Music Collectors Magazine from 2015.

"With a dedicated staff of 15, many of whom have been with him for 20 years, Alligator has bestowed more than 300 albums on the world and stands today as arguably the leading blues and roots label of them all. With more than 40 Grammy nominations, 100 Blues Music Awards, 70 Living Blues Awards and international respect, Iglauer still says “the best is yet to come.”

At least you and your wife get paid a few "nickels" for your effort. Many of the old-school blues musicians were never paid for their work.

I hope you guys make a zillion dollars with your stuff!
