The Big Layback(Dropping Jewels)

It's been a long time since i've left you..... Almost a year has went by, seen things and people come and go - the music industry is so desolate but the business of music is still very intact! The business of music is easier now ( remember demos....I do) than when I thought I needed a record deal. The internet has the world at your fingertips - just do the research on how you can own ur name and make money off of that - music is secondary. How much music have you made with nothing to show for it???? Even now half of my equipment is broke = no new nuthing but on top of that, I didnt have a computer so I could'nt reach out to cyberspace and keep my pulse on things. The cherry on top was when I lost my site(R.I.P.), I pushed everything that had to do with any machine(MPC 2000XL, etc..) to the side and didnt want to have anything to do with it. Looking bacc on it, I wasnt using the net to work with me as I had before ( I come from the "Era Of Getting Signed"). Instead, I had the web working against my better judgement. The web is like the streets , you can get caught up into anything - good or bad. Its all at your fingertips, you can spend ur days downloading other people's shit when you should be uploading your own and staying focus.
