One good publishing deal....And a bunch of ok ones....That and my own blood, sweat and tears playing for the past 15 years - literally to anyone willing to hear and loud enough for those who tried not to....Now I'm older with a family and things are almost all publishing....Gotta be that way...Funny, the week I found out we were matched (for an adoption) was the week I was asked to be the opener on a tour with a very successful band...All along we were always opening for newly signed majors...When I had to say no to that tour offerr, my heart opened (for the kid) and broke (for the music)...All good in the end....And we can all say if we just tried a little longer it would've worked out...But in reality, music has to be for passion and fun....You're stupid to not market yourself and equally stupid if you expect to get a return on your marketing... In the end, making yourself happy has to be the goal....If money is tied to that goal, you're probably in for a rough ride...I'm guilty of that myself and still have lofty musical goals...I will never stop trying...Along the way, I've been lucky to pick up endorsements and such so a lot of my gear has come at little or no cost - but gear for me now is trading or outright buying...MTS is worth it...Randall, I'm ready for that endorsement!
I also have a good day job...I count myself VERY lucky!
