The shallow voice of the wind
cries between these ebony wings.
The shallow cries of the wind
sing a swansong for mankind.

Shine on morning sky fire,
Ablaze this final day.
The autumnal end, the dawn of man,
The centuries fade below my feet.

I soared above them as they worthlessly
poured thought from, a chalice.
As wisdom did flow, twilight
had come to pass.
Drink, oh hallowed cup of life.

Shine on evening sky fire.
Paint the sky with the blood of a raven.
Bereavement, oh garment of ebony,
As embers dress the dusk of man…

There was a magazine that I heard about, I think either billboard or rolling stone, that listed cities that had the top number of rock music labels, or something like that. I know that Austin was number 1 and Athens was about number 8. Can someone give me the list?

I’m betting Detroit is in the top 5

I can not help it. I’m sorry.

In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org – Owen Husney, a manager, talks about income streams for artists. He explains that while artists may not receive money from record labels, there are other methods to get paid. Touring and merchandising are major areas. Also, if the artist writes their own songs, they can make publishing monies. The performers can also make record royalties. Husney mentions licensing monies as well, which are from licensing songs for film and television. Also in this segment, Husney discusses the common monetary trap of artists. Many artists overlook the fact that they have to pay the record label back.

Censorship is so cool, I can see why the libs love this guy.

i know all the rules / what to and what not to do but . . .

do people always submit their own work / records to showcase potential hits or does anyone ever submit covers of songs in order to simply showcase their voice ?

has anyone had any success with submitting covers ?

thanks

You could do covers and if you show them you have talent then your in.
