For a number of years Tom Scott was everywhere with everybody .. connections don't do that, he knew his stuff
It would be a long, long list to try to find everything he either played on, or arranged for, including TV, movies, albums ..
from Steely Dan to Chevy Chase
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I only met Tom that one time, and I really liked him.
We were playing at the Hyatt of the Palm Beaches, and he was in town leading the band for the Steve & Eydie show the next day. We chatted during our breaks and after the gig for a little while.
He's a good player, and I'm glad he had good connections so we can enjoy his music. (He is the son of film and television composer Nathan Scott, who had more than 850 television credits and more than 100 film credits as a composer, orchestrator, and conductor, including music for Dragnet and Lassie.)
He seems to have inherited a lot of talent from his dad as well.
And for the fictional sax player in Valparaiso, good luck!
The thing we have to all remember is no matter how good you are, there is always someone better, and always someone worse. Fame and fortune have nothing to do with that. But it's especially nice when fame finds a good artist.

The fun continues ... yesterday I discovered that one of our songs, Arcs of Life, is being used on Tik Tok. The song is about our feelings when exploring abandoned and forgotten cemeteries. It was used for a one minute video of an old cemetery. So the use is appropriate; however, no permission was sought from any source so it appears that we will lose a few more pennies. Such is life.

On the one hand, theft is taking place but on the other, you produced something worth stealing Glad you recalled and liked the tune. Your thoughts are a good way to look at it. Of course if real money was involved we might have a different perspective! J&B

Theft and fraud are common conditions across the board here in the United States and elsewhere.
The last year I worked for the bank we lost $465, 000,000 in fraud.
A few weeks back I hired an electronics “expert” to help me sort out an issue with a new autopilot on my boat. Four hours later he said he did not know how to fix the issue but wanted his two hundred dollars per hour fee, in cash!
I had a couple of chooses. I could have shot him in the head with my 40 cal and shoved him overboard or driven him back to the dock and paided the [*****].
The music industry has been a particularly corrupt industry preying on the weak and uninformed.
I have never been a very accomplished musician but have been lucky enough to generate a few dollars from music.
I knew from day one that I wanted to make money and the things I really loved to do were very unlikely to provide me with the type of income I wanted. Yes, I made a few bucks from music, and evening more from my skills as a commercial pilot, the two things I like the most. But the real money came from working my butt off 100 hours a week in various business endeavors.
The last really fun gig…. I paid to have my keyboard player flown in from south America, the drummer from LA, Lewis from Dallas, and Tayna from Houston. We all find ways to enjoy the music we have the skills and money to produce. Home studio or PolyGram studios. Great music comes from both places.
At the end of the day it does not matter if the music is great or not for 99% of us. No one makes great music every time they decide to play. Do what you like, the way "you" want to!
And for all you stared eye kids who dream of making it big in the music business, it is really not that hard. All you need to do is sing at the level of Witney Houston, play guitar at the level of Jeff Beck, have the good looks of one of the most famous movie stars and not die of drug addiction before you make it.
Cheers,
Billy
New location, new environment, new music coming soon

You forgot to add, know the right people and/or be in the right place at the right time.
I've known a lot of good-looking, great singers and fine musicians who didn't make it big. But it's not the only way. I've known musicians who make a lot of money playing music and others who need a day job to pay the bills.
I've made a living doing music and nothing but music for most of my life. I could have done better if I stayed in the electronics tech/engineering industry that I trained for, but 5 years of that convinced me I'd be happier staying with music. Though I live modestly, I have no debt, and I'm happier this way.
There is more than one way to do it.
Playing music puts you in the category of other professionals. Not every lawyer makes the big time, some do well and some barely get by.
Bands are like other small businesses, some fail, some make a decent living at it, and some hit the big time.
I think if anyone can make a living doing what they would do for free, and doing what they truly enjoy, they are better off than most people — and if they get rich in the process, they join the lucky ones.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
