why? is everything ok???

[SamScales]

The reason why he posts so late is one of two reasons,

He's shy and needs his privacy
Or he's needing absolute quiet to get his braincells to come up with all this entertaining stuff.

The topic of Life in the Music World

I will start of by saying; one�s misconception of a musician�s life is understandable. Not everyone is cut out to be in music, just like not everyone is cut out to work in the oilfields. But this explanation should shed some light on some dark spots and if it doesn�t, I�ll replace the light bulb.

Making your product available is no easy task, with all the studio time, manufacturing costs and let�s not forget the tough time coming up with a title. You could really be in for a few surprises down the road if you don�t get the right people for the job. I bet there is a band right now popping in a test CD and they end up hearing �Rhoda and the maggot waggon gang.�

Let�s cut to the chase.

Chapter 3,000,459,689,999,0433,2567,8056,9803,4590,5679.4560,4505, and 89 cents

Selling your CD or Cassette or LP or 8-Track depending on what time zone you are in. But keep in mind they don�t make �wires� anymore. And �Reel to Reel� is just to time consuming, unless you live in England. You have a number of options today to sell your product, except Wal-Mart. But be careful of the lurking places such as "E-BAY, bay, bay, bay, bay." (go with the reverb on that one). E-bay is both life and death to the artist. Signifying a new Artist can�t find anywhere else to sell their product or showing the artist has made so many albums there isn�t enough money in the world to keep them all in print. (Keep looking for my upcoming final release.)

We have so many options. From online stores to����.uh...stores. Many of which will cost you money�..We need a distributor, a label�..someone for the people. I HAVE A DREAM, one day all singer/songwriters will be able to join hands with all of God�s real people and all will live in harmony or at least sing in it.

I have too much time on my hands people. There isn�t enough space on the internet to contain my creative mind. I�m as constant as the northern star��yeah right, when I�m offline I�m sitting up in my bed making bllllrrrrrbbbbbb sounds, I like spit bubbles. I�m really untalented; I only eat Skittles because of the colors..........oooh look.....Red.

But enough about me.........back to you sam.

grax elo.... I know u'r a good friend...... y sabes k te aprecio mucho por eso...

[SamScales]

Well, bakersfield, you sure have done it this time! The wealth and depth of your information is just mindboggling to simple indie artists like me.
My gosh, I had NO IDEA that the music industry is THAT involved. All I thought I had to do was sing and sell records at concerts.
You have quite the brilliant mind - I'm floored by your wisdom!

I'm very grateful to you for mentioning, CD's, Cassette's, LP, 8-tracks and reel to reels. I thought all I needed to do was to put out DVD's (you know the music/visual thing) but I guess that's a thing of the past. I'll have my MANAGEMENT check into that for me............

By the way, you never mentioned ANYTHING about how to handle management. Please check out management's post under: "Tulsa, OK concert pix up on my site".....http://thepetrazone.net/viewtopic.php?t ... c&start=15
Management can be quite difficult when you are an artist in the music industry. Would you like to elaborate more on that?

By the way, my husband needs you as his lawyer............

[epdc]

YOU CRACK ME UP!!!!!!!! reading sam`s post made me curious about yours and oh geez YOU ARE LOCO!!! LOLOL.


Domingo, anytime friend

[bakersfieldpethead]

Sam, it's all in the hands

I just let them type and tell my brain to take a nap.
I only wake up when an alarm goes off...."WARNING! WARNING! Wake Up you stupid Idiot!" Then when I wake up I can just click submit if I'm finished. If I'm not finished however, then I just fall back asleep....no sweat, it's idiot proof.

ok maybe there is some sweat if it's a pretty Hot Day. But I try to keep a fan by me. I always take fans with me everywhere I go

oh boy was that bad.

[epdc]

So you take fans everywhere you go? HEHEHEHE!!!!!!

[SamScales]

Wow, now I know how to build up my FAN base!!!!!
Thanks for the advice. I'll be checking into the biggest fans I can find!!

Yeah, my fingers always do more typing than my brains keeping up.
So, guess we have no worries!!! Except, my alarm has been malfunctioning for YEARS..........
