Hi, I am illy.

I have been around a bit in this game called music, many situations, many places, many good times many bad times, but all worthwhile times. I have seen "one hit wonders", "five minutes of famers", big stars, small stars, "wanna be's", "could be's", and a lot of "shoulda be's"....

I have seen a whole lot of folks who had massive talent and no luck, and even more people who had no talent and a lot of luck!!!

But good luck to anyone who has managed to carve themselves any type of career in the music business. It is by all means, a difficult but ultimately rewarding place to be!!

30 years of performing, writing , tutoring, retailing, sound engineering, roadie work, tour managing, studio sessions, constant touring, and many millions of miles ( literally) travelled in relation to the music industry has given me good wealth of knowledge in this industry that I am still involved with very much today and intend to be for a long time yet.

I may not have seen it all but I think I have enough to pass comment and "blog" a bit about the music industry and offer any advice to any one who seeks it.

Talk to ya soon

Illy
