Thank you, Arne… yes, there are so many things we think we have to do the same way that we… don’t! Keep in touch… community antennae’s rock!

I agree, Judy. What you bring up is important matters. We have to rethink and adjust “the coarse” before it’s too late. Nothing will be like it used to. I’m not thinking of abandon Country Music, but I have a plan to do some changes. Maybe record fewer songs at a time also. I’m still unsure were to go, but I’ve put any recording plans for me on hold ‘til I find out how to bypass the problems we all face.

Thank you all so much.. glad you are seeing this, too. Nicholas.. yes, I have been following Seth Godin for quite a while… a maverick voice of community, a creative genius in marketing and promotion and one of my heros.Mike, I had a feeling you would agree, because this is how you've taught me to do business, too. Leigh Ann.. I sooooooo feel ya, and would love that, too for my own bored ears! HA!

This is an incredibly exciting time for musicians–and for listeners, too.My hat's off to you, Judy, for being so forward-thinking and for embracing these tumultuous times.If you don't read him already, I think you'll get a kick out of Seth Godin's blog. Marketing is changing, too–Seth is one of the new marketers and I find everything he says relevant to my projects–whether it's recording an album, writing an eBook, or building the songwriting blog one article at a time.Great article. I'll be back!

Interesting. I hope radio stations change with the industry. I'd love to hear more indie artists and more than the same few songs over and over for months.

This is a well-written, timely post. You are right on track with your description of the changing music industry. It will take a different approach, new strategies, and a lot more work to achieve success in this new music business, but the opportunities are still there.
