Since we're in a unique time of history esp. in the music industry, what about those “touring musicians who don't have to tour but who love to tour?” The ones who have built their own Passive Income Streams- from scratch in utilizing free advertising via other types of legitimate internet income..and not dependent upon 1 type of internet income stream(since google owns youtube)... that totally covers the majority if not all of their expenses(no joke here)? Particularly the ones who have never been on a major record label and who may never be on an independent label but who are just as passionate about playing live as any other major artist, “who love to tour 60 or 200 dates out of each and every year” the ones whose music may only be received well at certain aesthetic venues. Do you have upcoming articles with interviews on those musicians who have done that or at present doing that? Which musician(s) in the US or Otherwise is having this type of Abundance?Nicholenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-55255113186352336162013-01-28T07:28:10.622-08:002013-01-28T07:28:10.622-08:00Hello,

(a really harsh live) - respect for those who actually continue living like this and still make good music.Puiuhttp://superecproduction.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5913752433926766420.post-52488926126089926272013-01-25T06:05:44.457-08:002013-01-25T06:05:44.457-08:00Since I was a child in the 60's my only hero w...Since I was a child in the 60's my only hero was Gomez Addams, from the Addams Family.<br /><br />As much as I wanted fame and forture, I saw the later as more important but the music industry at that time prefered to pay in the fame any time they could.<br /><br />I played, recorded and toured from 1975 to 1991, opened my recording studio in '85, and socked away my dosh. <br /><br />I was never into the whole musician lifestyle and I hated the people I met in the industry, sleezeballs and druggies, which made it hard for me to care about the music biz.<br /><br />So I had landed at #6. <br /><br />All I really wanted to ever do was write and record music. I'm a fine arts guy, but I wanted to be a recording arts guy and make audio paintings. There's not much of a demand for people like me.<br /><br />So that still meant I had to either slog it out playing cover's I hated live or get a real job. Or be Gomez Addams.<br /><br />So I took all my dosh and began investing in the stock market. Turns out I was good at it.<br /><br />I'm now a #10.<br /><br />I was able to achieve my primary goal of funding myself via the market so that I didn't have to work or play crappy gigs, unless I wanted to. I retired when I was 39, bought an estate with a pool and built a great little composition studio where I spend my days writing and recording music, as nature intended.<br /><br />I have managed released 19 albums (#20's on the way), have another 10 I haven't released and another 30 or so that I hope to live long enough to release. I guess I'm nothing if not prolific. I've done film scores and soundtracks have had 5 cable access TV show and get tons of critical acclaim in my region.<br /><br />Thanks Gomez. Now, lets go blow up the train set...musically speaking.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Jef Knightnoreply@blogger.com
