Long time coming

YEAH. so I am done with junior year of college. crazy. This year has probably been the most difficult one of my journey though the strange and wonderful land of Uconn. But now it is summer, I survived, with most of my sanity and the music blog lives again.
So this post is not really about a musical group, its actually about a book. I can't call it a review though, cause I'm not done with the book. How I got this book, is an awesome story. Basically after my junior recital at uconn, my Grandparents who reside in Florida, gave a copy of my program notes to the Weismans. Now I had no idea who these people where, but apparently their son is a music producer and drummer out of Seattle. He also wrote this incredible book called,

The Artist's Guide to Success in the Music Business by Loren Weisman

those of you who know me, know that I like straight to the point. Thus, I knew I was going to love this book.

I'm barely past the third chapter, and already I have learned more than I have in the past 3 years about the music business. The book, mind you is geared towards bands getting started and how to maintain an financially secure career. I'm not talking about millions here, I'm talking about being able to pay the bills and make music. Who could ask for more than that? But I would totally recommend this book to any musician. It is not just for "bands" it is for any musician who has been in the situation of playing with other people. It covers a range of topics, from dealing with arguments, copyright issues, stage performance, anything you could possibly come up its in the book. So, if anyone from VR is reading this, you will be required to read this book, haha.
No, seriously, its a good book. find it. love it. read it. in that order.
