What really caught my attention was the fact that he has a history in the music business. Out of his whole presentation, that is what I found interesting, Surprise right?
He was in a band with a record deal with Atlantic (if I remember right). The reason I found it interesting, is because he is someone who thought he had made it. Every band begins with the goal of getting a record deal and making it big. He is a great example for the reality of a major record deal does not always mean mainstream success. They recorded a few albums, realized it wasn't going to work, and now is out in the work force trying to make a living.
So many artists or bands think that all they need is a record deal and they are done. They have a false reality that once they are signed, they are set for life, going to make a living playing and recording music. So many artists are struggling to play music and make a living. Some even are having to choose to quit playing music in order to get a job. Such a small percentage actually make it big.
Just some thoughts. Overall, I like Dave Rhea.
Until next time,
Keep the Music Alive, and Straighten Your Tie
