the best thing, one of the best things about jpf, for me, has been the liberating effect it has had on my poor little mind. largely thru these interesting discussions about the whole music bizz. for years i had this weird little creature attached to my brain that whispered lies that egged me on to those outlandish decisions of which you all speak. i once let it get control of my better judgement and sold my home and moved to nashville. for about twenty four hours that is. fortunately the guiding Spirit that holds my hand used it all for my good anyway so it was no great lose. the more i listen to you pro's talk this stuff the more liberated i become and ya know what? i become the artist i was meant to be. however large or small my talent is matters not at all because with each step away from that artificial light that beckons the would be artist on to the rocks of disapointment i am free'ed up to enjoy the talent as it was meant to be enjoyed rather than use it as some inflatable lover. in the end if i ever have success in this field it will come as it has always has. it will come to me and i will not chase it because therein lies death to art. i am not saying no efforts are needed, but if it is going to happen it will. just depends on who's taking care of you. finding treasure can be death, obsurity can be life. so thank you all for this insight of yours. i hardly feel qualified to speak or interject a thot in your pow wow, i couldn't resist letting you all know the good you do me.

shalom, dmk
