I will say that I believe the number one requisite for staying power in this business isn't really technical ability (that of course helps a LOT), or musical knowledge (that can assist a bit, too), but is actually the power to keep on going, hour after hour, day after day, without griping or giving up. I've had a lot of guys hang around over the years, wanting to "intern," but have found few who can take it after just a short while. Those of you doing this professionally today obviously can "take it." |

It would be interesting to hear some good stories about how those of us in this messy business actually got here... |

Phil, my favorite part about doing jingles: No egocentric band members (just indecisive ad folks) and you get paid! One of these days, I'll get smart and stop trying to make records and join your racket. |
