GET YOUR BAND OUT OF THE BASEMENT AND KEEP THEM OUT OF THE ASYLUM – AVAILABLE AT WWW.MUSICIANLIBRARY.COM 

I hosted a “musicians cooler live” session where we invited some people involved with Burnlounge to answer some of the questions I had about their compensation plan This is a LONG show, but I think ou will find it both educational and entertaining.
