Well there you have it folks all my last weeks posts gone!!! Fortunately this time I re-posted them here. The site is not improved as the blogs are now diminished below the puff work for the new music powers that be. Oddly only one commented on my sequenza21 post and nothing new either. Sigh.

It took great restraint not to point out to DS that composers are musicians as well. More chicken soup for the composer. As to the theater being more restrictive than the music or any other collaborative art form is ludicrous. In fact the entire tenor of this post strains credulity.
This pretty much ties in with the concept-that the more ownership you have in your music compositions the harder it is too succeed as a composer--and no one disputes this?
well ok

If your trying to say that talent is a drawback in our profession I agree with you.

It seems that the less folks have to say the more they talk and this particular subject about how the value of music, personal and monetary, collide keeps popping up. For me the facts are this --you can't give your music away--rather you take a loss or give an in kind payment. That is because the method of transfer of the "of the "goods" has a cost and someone is paying it. Saturday, May 28, 2011, 1:43:04 PM
