Bob Clifford, my former boss and a music industry veteran, sent some thoughts and another link regarding my last post.  Check out the link to the article he included.  As usual his emails are filled with insight and experience, so I hope he doesn’t mind me posting his entire email

Thanks for sending this, Andrew - very cool.

Here’s a link to a recent UK digital music report (it only takes five
minutes to read what’s here) - the link is from Hypebot, a music blog I get.
(I also get the Sivers stuff; I thought about trying to help out with the
assistance/mentoring program, but it’s more about the live band surviving
the business - manager, agent, booking, the road - than about the studio and
production stuff.)  Anyway, I thought you might want to post a link to the
report on your site.

The labels might actually survive if they can downsize the radio promotion
staffs (or at least change the way they do business), increase the web
staff’s, and get a handle on monetizing the internet.  Society (or at least,
‘wired’, society) is learning, or demographically growing into, the music on
the web life.

Hope things are well with you and yours.  ~ Bob
