Learning about the music biz

Fotia	Date: May 7, 2003 @ 9:52 PM IS there ANYWHERE on the net that I can go to learn about the music buisness (for free) ??? I've tried so hard to find info, but I can never find anything related to what I'm looking for. I might just have to resort to the library!

Rodrica	Date: May 8, 2003 @ 3:38 PM I found out a lot through books and also by talking to bands who had got contracts/played live at a lot of venues - they tell it how it is!
invocati	Date: May 8, 2003 @ 6:12 PM there.If you don't find what you are looking for in the articles it has a massive list of sights to go to for info. I think Dmusic sells it somewhere on this site.Drop a note to Thumbtack or Milladrive and ask about the Indie Bible.It well worth the money it costs." id="45012">Get the Indie Bible.

GeneHilbert	Date: September 27, 2003 @ 11:27 AM emusician.com & keyboard.com always have some really good articles on the music business. I can believe you can't find online articles - my email box is inundated with music-how-to shit almost daily. Do a dogpile search for music business, and specific info request.

billhudson	Date: September 30, 2003 @ 9:37 AM I will have to agree with Gene on this one. There is a ton of stuff out there on the net. So just read and read what others that have gone through it say. And there is a bit of truth to what De-troit says. Playing on the streets ya get some idea how to sing to other people out there. I did two years playing on the streets, all over the place. And as hard as it was, I learned alot. Always remember hands on is the best. Take a dive and see where you land. Still Pickin' Bill H.
robin101	Date: September 30, 2003 @ 9:50 AM You can check my credentials at "allmusic.com" under: "Rick Iantosca".I'd be more than glad to answer ANY questions you may have regarding the record business (if I can).This is sort of a "mission" of mine.

Before I got in, absolutely no one was available to answer my many questions. I still have an extreme distaste for some of my peers who have a "Holier Than Thou" attitude.
