All--

Everyone knows that change is the only thing in BIZ that stays the same--Competition is fierce in a declining economy--It doesn't matter, whether it's MUSIC or building AUTOS--Trade secrets, technology, insight, and insider information all play a part in who or what is successful.

Money is the bottom line in BIZ--Music has taken it's share of HITS and MISSES.

Integrated in with success of BIZ, is GREED, always an element to consider, and a reason behind, the direction Labels have decided to go. Until another Garth or Beatles comes along, BIZ will go with the LAW OF DEMINISHING RETURNS--AND WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO SURVIVE. Writers, Artists, Labels, and All others in the Industry, have to work harder to be on the winning team. If they aren't on that team THEY WILL HAVE TO TRY HARDER AS AVIS used to advertise.

I am 72 now, and have watched my share of BUSINESSES come and go. The competitive edge, is WHAT IT"S ALL ABOUT--what has always helped, IS CREATIVITY--Take that away and a BIZ will stumble and fall.

Some of the Greatest Businesses, in the history of our Great Country, have always
believed in INCENTIVE PROGRAMS for all in the COMPANY--IE: KODAK, 3M, LINCOLN ELECTRIC, MOTOROLA and many others--RCA is the only one that comes to mind, associated with MUSIC BIZ--that doesn't say much.

We may just be in the wrong BIZ--
