passion first

Sho! This is a tough business. You gotta really like your own stuff; so that when you are in the verbal firing range of liberated opinion-slinging, you can handle yourself confidently.... Just do your best, have a solid, truthful and knowledgeable accountability structure with whom and off whom you can bounce your sound .... everybody cannot be a sounding board... you'll go nuts. Then do your best! Knock on doors and hopefully the right one will open... But, most importantly, keep music a passion, and financial payment, will then just be a bonus.... [less]
