Mark I think the advice you have given me is outstanding, your one of the few people who can make a mile long post and I can sit and read every word. You easy to understand, is what I mean.
I've had many people try to "impress" me with their knowledge. Come to find out I'm not overly impressionable and I'm more skeptic than anything. I do my research on everyone I meet. I've got good instincts, and by all means I'm not rude to these people. I keep my opinions to myself when in mixed company, as hard as that is to do for me.
This last guy I was talking to, the one I turned down on the meeting at the motel, dropped names like crazy. Talked about how he passed on all these huge names, so I should be honored that he was talking to me at all, then asked me for 25k. Then told me it would be free I just had to meet him. No thanks, I passed, and here I am today. Self respect in tact and just as determined if not more determined than I've ever been.
I may not have the money but I definitely have the drive to stick it out. I'm not worried about being famous, though admittedly it would be an added bonus, and yes the money would be nice too, I simply want to sing and be heard.
I talked to a few people, one being a manager of a very well known local band. He listened to my songs and said he would help me however he can, as far as studio time and things like that. Even offered to manage if needed.
So the good thing about being at the bottom, is there's nowhere to go but up!
