In support of DJ's like myself now going on 35 years in radio on both coasts here in America, there are many of us fighting to keep the music we love alive...what Ralph is going thru is not new..he is trying a marketing strategy...musicians today are more 'business men' than musicians in most cases that i see...there are only 4 or 5 major labels today...everything now is online as far as 'the business' is concerned... in my playing career I have had to wear many hats to survive as I have for 48 years and counting...I have learned to roll with the punches..educate myself..and try to keep up with the times...it's what you have to do if you want to be a musician...with a depressed economy, clubs closing, record stores closing, labels now gone, and more ..you have to devise a new strategy, a new offensive...and most of all, as an Independent artist with no 'machine' behind you takes a LOT of work...I do what i do all day 7 days a week....my job is to create a job for myself...I have tried never to depend on anyone or any situation to do what I love, and that's perform and play....don't know if it's gonna get any better...hard to say...if anyone has any questions for me regarding 'the biz' I'd be more than happy to help...we are all in this together and we ALL NEED EACH OTHERS SUPPORT, on all levels!...imho
