Meeting Flo

How To Make And Sell Your Independent Record

I was beyond disappointed when the woman, my friend, who wrote the guidebook to thinking music SALES (a book that helped Loreena McKennit sell 100,000 records for independent control), said she had no interest in promoting anything about music or the biz of it anymore. Diane gave up on music, even as she told me not to.

She was the one who sold me(us) the idea that you could either go get a job driving a cab, or you could promote yourself AS your day job.

But that was a long time ago.
Technology has changed so much.

I love it when I see her esteemed fellow promoter type friend out at shows I go to. He's another expert I'd like to talk to, someone I've long looked forward to getting to know.
