Summary: Something every songwriter should read
Comment: In the heat of creation, most of us forget that after the smoke clears - music is a business. Some of us assume that if we are lucky enough to "Make It" - there will be someone else to take care of the day to day details for us - while we sculpt the next masterpiece. It is a deadly assumtion and many who thought they were through the Golden Door awoke to the Crash and Burn - as their careers and money vanished into the vapors. First read Tom Petty's intro. Very sobering. And what follows from the pen of Mr Wixen is really very straight forward and layed out for the most simple of us to understand. He points out at the end of one particular chapter that if you've absorbed the information within, you now know more about copyright law and business - than most of the people who run the Music Business. This is the best survival guide I ever found and I've recomended it to all of my fellow musicians. (And I know a few)
