Hey Ott,
Sorry about the hooker comment. I meant them, not you.
Ott, the difference is, and I'll put it bluntly, the folks you are talking about are highly respected. They are educators, and have spent their whole life educating others. They love to educate, and they love music. They have more contacts than you can throw a stick at. And they would never say so, because they have too much respect in themselves.
It is the insinuation that is put foward here, that I don't like. Like somehow it's a fast track to success.
It's not. It's selling dreams, and unrealistic ones at that.
I'm glad we agree on the Disneyland thing.
I'll drop by, and listen to your tracks. I'll do it for free too. You never know where they might end up.
I did a write up for an artist here, because I really liked what I heard and saw. One of those Cd's ended up in Tel Aviv, with a film and televsion composer I know. It got then got sent on to one of the major film studios in LA for consideration. Why did that person do that, at no benefit to them ?
Why ? Because I asked for that to be done ? No. Because I paid for it ? No...... Because someone else saw talent, and someone else saw potential where it was clearly recognised, and passed it foward. Maybe something will happen one day. Maybe not. That's the real world. That's the way it works.
It's just my take, and my experience...............
I don't favour this kind of "business", as it's not business at all.
Anyways, I'll drop by and take a listen. For what it's worth, I'm not famous, but would be willing to lend a hand.
cheers, niteshift

"Stop the process I call 'waiting to live.' This is the worst type of procrastination, because there will always be another 'reason to wait' lurking ahead. Once you are in this rut, it is nearly impossible to get out of it. Instead, adopt a 'Live as you Go' mentality." -Brian Austin Whitney
