Well there we have it, if you want to work in a music store in FW you can take it up the arse high tech style as they do at SW or you can go lowbrow workingclass a la Walmart and work for GC. The common thing it that each are not much more than legal pyramid situations which is about all that retail...

Shawn, I went and checked out the site you recomend, but I wonder how is this really any different from what CDBaby does? They've licensed out both my cds track by trck to dozens of pay per track sites. I get a small check everyonce in awhile. Plus I'm still responsible for driving traffic to my CDB...

Yo to Oliver's Army, I will admit my original music is somewhat left of center but I also do various cover tunes on the gig as well. Currently I am gigging with a pedal steel guitar player doing old school country, i.e. Hank Sr., Bob Wills(country swing) early Johnny Cash. Check us out at Paula's on...

As to pay differences btwn kareoke/DJ hosts and live musicians I'm wondering who is doing better. It seems like gigs for live music are harder to book due to the various issues I listed. Thanks f...

ASCAP/BMI Lic...

Like many musicians I moved to FW to work for a certain company in town, when that didn't work out well there I was, a new guy in a medium size...

Hello I'm looking to throw in with some other musicians in forming a vocal oriented acoustic pop/rock band. I'm older so CSNY is a point of departure for what I'm talking about but I'm open to more current styles such as John Mayer, Jack Johnson, etc. Currently I play close to a dozen gigs a month i...

Hey I played there once and could never get ahold of the guy again.
Do you have any contact info for BrewHa.
Thanks
