Hey December,

Yeah, I'm hearing what you are saying.

I gave it away, because in my day, I can't remember being paid less than maybe $250 a gig, and that was 20 yrs ago. And there may have been, quite often, firstly a pub gig, then a club gig till 4 in the morning.

I did that until perhaps the mid 90's , then the work just vanished.

Thank you for being honest.

I gave music away for 10 yrs, completely, because it became a stupid enterprise, financially.

Now that I've returned to it, I embbrace it in a new world. BUT, I still don't give it away for free.

Welcome to JPF and the baptism of fire. It was certainly good for me ( and has done great things for me ) and I hop it works the same way for you.

It's not nice to get a wake up call, but believe me, it's certainly worth the pain.

Best to you,

cheers, niteshift
