Polly, I wouldn't put any stock in "Cincymusic" {good riddance!}
Those were a small clique of hipper-than-thou jackasses with little to offer the actual music scene. You're much better of hanging out here. I just went there for the entertainment value, and occasional self promotion. I DO agree with you that we are in the perfect storm...DUI laws, smoking bans, the sour economy, competition from other sources {the internet, DVD's ect,} changing musical trends {Hip-Hop DJ's and Karaoke hosts get WAY more work than us musicians nowadays!} We're in a climate where only the strong survive {and I'm pretty damn STRONG!} Although I never take one minute of this for granted, I know this could all be over tomorrow, and it helps me keep my edge! I feel so fortunate that I established myself long ago, because I couldn't IMAGINE trying to break into the scene as a "newbie" now.
