Getting Back To Our Roots
“There is: 1)The Music 2)The ‘Music Business’ 3)The ‘Music Industry’. You should love the first, learn the second and outsmart the third.”
Some people would say that music has grown, that it is ‘better than ever’ and there is nothing to fault about it. After all, we live in an age where it is easier than ever to become a musician with the immense range of talent shows and contests on T.V.

We do need people to help sometimes, and going back to our original roots isn’t always a bad thing, to resolve all our issues and become even better than we are, or ever have
