"Actually, I’m not convinced the talent IS out there."

I beg to differ, being as I'm a musician who's been trying for years to get people to notice my work. I'm not the only one, either. Big Dawg Media, which used to be the Big Dawg Music Mafia, is also full of hundreds, if not thousands, of other conservative-patriotic musicians, who are also struggling to get any kind of notice. Production, distribution and most of all, promotion are what's needed.

But since you're asking (you are asking for an example, aren't you?), here's the link to my CD Baby page, where my "album" can be bought. It's mostly home recordings, but all proceeds will go to getting me into the studio to have them produced professionally. Thanks in advance for your purchase (always assume the close).

10 Pound Test, "Room to Maneuver" on CD Baby

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Well FRiend, as someone whose family business has been dealing with "artists" of one form or another for many years I have to ask you exactly what are YOUR metrics for determining whether or not a particular performer is good enough to be a commercial success.

The sad truth is most creative, performance, and artistic types are the world's WORST when it comes to hearing "you're just not good enough."

Oh sure, many of those folks may have absolutely brilliant skills with one aspect or another of their craft. And naturally enough that is the thing they will focus on. UNfortunately, they simply refuse to hear about the one or two things about their practice they do badly that their actual talent simply can not overcome.

You can be a brilliant technical musician, and if you can be satisfied with a career as a studio musician you'll probably do fairly well, but that's probably ALL you can be without a hefty load of other talents that are not immediately apparent.

And sure, you might be another Rush Limbaugh who has made fools of many a radio guy that told him he would never "make it," but how many of him do you think there are?
