Hi Dude,

I understand what your saying and what I meant was more about the masses.
Being contacted by someone who has a high position in the music industry is about as likely as someone going out and doing a gig and someone walks in out of the blue and signs them. You know that old fairy tale

I don't want to say things can never happen and you shouldn't follow leads but when letters come to your house from Record labels and emails come and you see all the nonsense we all see everyday on the internet 95% of the time it's BS.

You were very fortunate that MCA reached out for you.. but this was after you were established I'm more than sure. That makes all the difference in the world.
All the people that post here I'd guess 90% are not established and they are being contacted that's hard core bs again.
Totally different story. people are being contacted by people they never heard of or sent anything to...

I toured under MCA records but I was working at Next Plateau/Roadrunner Records
when I got that call.. I wasn't sitting at home never having worked with a major label
and the phone rang or a letter came to my door.

Now if you are very active or with a connection and know that you've put your name and work out there and hope some of the contacts you made get back to you..again different story!

I was talking about the 90% bracket gigging locally and chilling at home with there kids and family.

But I do understand where your coming from thanks!
