Hmmm.....interesting discussion....

I see it on both sides. I was, at one time the music pro, when there was no such thing as "indie". It didn't matter. Most of the money was through playing live. So, you either entertained well, or someone would replace you. Side gigs in the studio were a bonus. An odd TV gig, was just another pay check. But at least there was a level of professionlism ( self determined, or industry determined ) which just said "Yep, got the goods, or not".

I think it's still the same.

As an indie thats married to a pro industry, I can tell you that the conversation is very intersting at times.

One thing that's agreed upon, talent is talent. It's quite obvious, and will make it's mark ( or lack thereof ) in the distant future.
