I am glad that musicians nowadays have their own little ways of making an effort to share their music. Back in our days you need to attend auditions before you can have a chance to land somewhere you can find an audience. No one has a lot of equipment to record back then. You need to travel far to be able to do that. It's impossible for you to gain a following unless you are signed by a label. Times have changed but the expressive nature of music hasn't. We just start to operate on more channels.

It’s hard to find knowledgeable people on this topic, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
