Okay heres a question then...
What makes it a rule that to make money, you have to gig? WHen I was young, I bought craploads of beatles records, Led Zepplin records, and Cream... But I never saw these guys gig in real life. I'm willing to bet its the same for many others here.
APparently, the records sold anyway... So maybe gigs are smaller part than we realize. In fact,
I bet you that any one of you could take your best cds and if you paid off (payola) a radio station, to pump your best song , then your CD sales would sky rocket. If you did it again in the next town, likewise and so on... I bet you could push your CD all the way through to show up in the top 100 charts, nationally and eventually break the international circuit.
Then I bet you'd get asked to gig, but if yo declined to gig, you's still sell your CDs
