I think if I would listen to anyone on this subject it would be Mike Dunbar. Marc Alan-Barnette comes a very close second.
The only other advice I think missing is keep your mouth shut and LISTEN.
I dont think id listen to Mike. He posts an article and were all supposed to say... OH MY GOODNESS.. WHAT A GREAT ARTICLE? Reminds me of another site where one guy is considered a music business guru, but the only place hes known for that is on the site. Please stop the nonsense. Everyone of us is in the same boat as anyone else. Nice and thoughtful to post the article, but pretty much a no kidding one. At least its songwriting related, but its not going to change anything for anyone. Dec, you've jumped the shark. Your ignorance of what Mike Dunbar does on a daily basis is no one's fault but yours. A working musician making a full time living from music for many decades continuing and growing even today is an amazing success in the music business. In fact, it's the best kind because he's having a blast and paying his bills making music on his own terms year after year. Just because you've done nothing of value in your music life to date, don't assume others are like you. They aren't. Setting a goal to be like Mike Dunbar and his career path is beyond a dream for 99.9% of musicians out there. So please don't try and heap your misery on everyone because you're too lazy to learn the truth about Mike and the reality of what being a true success in music even means.
