Hey Dana,

Nice post. I believe Frankie is doing well, He still is on the road a good deal and has gotten married and had a baby over the past couple of years. I haven't seen him since he dropped into one of my shows about 3 years ago. Everyone runs in different circles and you just move on. Was an enjoyable time and glad he has done well.

Yes, the weird thing about labels are that they do try to change exactly the thing they were attracted to from the begining. A very odd situation. Of course, when they are putting up money, there are a lot of opinions in there. Part of it is about what to record and what to release, etc. Every decision has a lot of input. But also speaks to some things just taking a long time or never get what they deserve. Songs, artists, labels, publishers, producers, etc. there are many things that simply never "make it."
Even the "Sure things" like those songs, are not always so sure.

Trying to figure out the modern music industry is pretty much a waste of time. You can't tell what is going to work at all. So you try to be as good as you can, do everything you can and then just keep going.
