Someone in a chat room asked if I had any of my music up and when I uploaded it, the woman commented with lots of love, and that got some other chatter to listen. He sent me a PM and asked to buy all my CDs (and two books), so I put my first album up. I have it on Amazon, but when they switched publishing companies, I stopped getting royalty checks, and to test it, I bought two of my own CDs and got nothing! So I put some of my work online as a sample and if they like it, they can paypal whatever they want for other stuff.
Anyway, here's the first one. It's completely just one man - me.. I produced/engineered/published it myself and never had to speak or write to another human being to do it. I play all the instruments. I don't use a computer. Just one microphone and the basic instruments (drums, guitar, bass, piano, keyboards, other percussion) and some home-made instruments.
Before I published the last one, I was willing to pay someone for a review, a friend of mine who reviewed Pink Floyd's "Endless River" for free on another site, and it was so great, I was curious how a great reviewer would describe my stuff. It took her months to reply back, just to say no. It WOULD be cool if we had something like a musician database. Services wanted/offered, for all sorts of people. Musicians, writers, advertisers, agents, etc etc..
