Downloading Music

   I wonder how music existed for the thousands of years before Edison? After all, musicians (if they existed) couldn't support themselves through record sales.

You want to support musicians? Get out of the house and see them perform. And don't limit yourself to signed acts. Look for local acts.

Sturgeon's Law does apply, so don't expect a lot of great music. But when you find something good, tell others about it. Get them listed on ProgArchives if they're the right style.

(I recently found a group from Mobile, Alabama called Analog Missionary. You might like them, too. Go to www.analogmissionary.com and see for yourself. They have several songs available for download. If you like the songs, check them out live or buy their CDs.)

When you get married, hire musicians, not a DJ. Same with other events your putting on. 

If you don't support live musicians, you'll kill music. If you don't buy major label albums, you're only killing major labels.
