Books We Are Reading
Daylle Deanna Schwartz: I Don't Need A Record Deal!: Your Survival Guide For The Indie Music Revolution
The music industry is changing. Don't be left behind. (*****)Marc Davison: All Area Access : Personal Management for Unsigned Musicians
This is more for how to handle live gigs for groups new to this. (*****)Donald S. Passman: All You Need to Know About the Music Business
I would recommend the Indie book for bands starting out. If you want to go the traditional route, then you must read this book, but it needs an update. (****)Rod Gervais: Home Recording Studio: Build it Like the Pros
Tells you everything so you can make choices as to what is important to you so you won't mess up from the get go. Some info not pertinent for the home studio, but using a garage is a GOOD thing! (****)
My parents were great. My mom, who rasied me on her own for the most part, bought me my first drum kit using the last of her Visa card balance. My dad frequently helped me purchase music gear when I couldn't afford it. They may not have cared for much of the music I was making, but they understood my need to express myself and my love for music. Made a huge difference.
