LOL, if some of us spent 5 mil on a recording studio, do you think our end product would be any better?

well sure, cause you could hire someone to write the music!

I'd probably do better at recording if I spent less money - on whiskey!

I'd probably do better with MORE whiskey.

Not a lot of benevolent societies who support starving musicians out there. Usually a talented musician starting out has two choices:

1. Get a day job to support his music habit.
2. Find a rich benefactor. (usually with strings attached)

3. Become a ho

Soon as we decide to be musicians we all turns into ho's. It's the nature of the business.

not if you were Merle Haggard

Feedback please...my husband is a musician and constantly wishes he had more money to promote his music, pay for studio time (his home studio equipment 'just' doesn't have that same quality), pay for flyers to distribute, etc. etc. etc. I said, "Just hire someone to raise money for you" -- so he added that to the wish list.

Herein my question to you of talent ...if someone approached you wanting to help raise money for your band, would you let them volunteer? Or does your manager handle this for you?

No. Managers (real ones) expect to get paid, but they deliver and earn that pay.

Volunteers for this line of the work = Amateur = Detriment to the interest of the musical career. Sorry, but the world is full of sharks, players and knuckleheads.

no jw, the product would not be any better but likely be much worse because if we were designing the studio and had that kind of scratch to blow we'd have big screens, mini bars, swimming pools, pinball machines....all kinds of distractions to keep any work from getting done.

Planet, you forgot the ho's... lots of em:

Every kind of ho
There'd be long one's, tall ones, short ones, brown ones,
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones.

I'd be doing better if i spent NO MONEY on whiskey.. lol

Ask Honey Boo Boo for a loan.

Seed money??

Yeah. I seed money.

The problem is that it is always in someone else's hands.

I seed, I sawed, I conquered.

Ur drunk/stoned or tripping in your LSD glasses..lol

...Mike ... you are correct, I did not look at her profile....Thank you. The same applies however ... rather odd to use the husband thing as an example instead of just saying I want to start a business...a parasitic one at that.

THAT was parasitic and I would immediately refuse any notions of veracity after I saw that.
