Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.
I love the music business very much.
I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things.
The music business can be very cold. And it doesn't honor its elders.
The Philadelphia/New York world of the music business is a tough place to be.
The bricks and mortar of the music business, they don't exist any longer.
A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business.
The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing.
I attended a post-college program in L.A. for Music Business and Production. Took several courses involving Music Production, Arrangement, and Songwriting.
In the music business, especially the country music business, every 10 years or so you're going to have this changing of the guard, this wave of new artists that comes in.
By 1969, when I celebrated 45 years in the music business, I also had 45 people in our musical family.
I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it's not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism.
The best decision I ever made, period, was to get into the music business.
Swimming upstream in the music business is a hard thing to do.
In business, you can have one massive success that earns $50 million overnight, and that's it. You're successful. End of story. But in the music business, you have to keep on doing it.
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music.
The music business is not a good place for people who don't know things.
Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.
The music business is rougher than the movie business. In film you get noticed in a small role, even in a movie that bombs. But in records you better have that hit or else it's 'See you later.'
