Charlie,
Thanks for the link to Tony's very interesting paper.
First and foremost, his comment that individual musicians must be much more responsible for their careers than ever before is, in my opinion, spot on. It's a brave new world out there and I look forward to reading how many of you are willing to face it (and what you're doing about it).
I'd rather not lead this discussion; prefering to watch here for a bit before adding my voice. . .
Looking forward
,
