WFL Needs Money

Updated: Here's what I'm trying to do, and how you can support me: http://www.classicwfl.com/blog/2008/09/record-label-is-dead-long-live-record....

Anyway, this is just me and a couple friends jamming outside the local coffee shop. We do this nearly every weekend. I'm the one off to the side playing banjo - my second time ever playing one. Yeah, I'm playing slide on it :) I also played a little Mandolin that day, but didn't get a video of it.

I've got a job - two, in fact :) I work at a newspaper during the day, and I work as an independent artist/photographer/web designer/consultant in my free time. Living costs a lot of money, though. I've already got a good chunk of recording gear, but the stuff I'll need for this album will at least be a new noise cancellation system and a new guitar - preferrably, I'd also like to actually have CDs printed and hire a mastering engineer..

Why do you need a new guitar, how many do you have right now?

[invertedpanda]

I have my regular electric (which is falling apart - see my other vids), my electric resonator, a cheap classical, and a cheap bass. The guitar I'm saving up for is going to be my first "nice" guitar. I had originally planned to just use my electric reso, but the tone doesn't sit well for the style I'm doing, and it is noisy as all get out in the neck pickup (which is what I use most of the time).

HEY!!! Perhaps you should read the site of this artist before commenting on how sad it is. The Record Label is Dead! Long Live the Record Label.

Do you have a CD out? I will for sure buy it from you! ;-)

[2badimcool]

I know what you mean, you can go to a music store, help the artist a crapload and buy their cd for 14 bucks OR you can illeagly get it free on limwire or the pirate bay... its almost sad...in fact, it is sad.

most common musician jobs that produce enough money for people to get by and let you do your art are teaching music, as a tutor or in a school or something like that, it is quite easy to get such a job or try finding a band and getting a contract with a bar or something that has live music often eg get a contract to play there once a week for that money.... anyhow your music is great you really got something good there keep up the good work...and DON'T quit...:P

I myself have a cheap guitar but my parents say they won't buy me a good one until I am really good. I told them never mind, I will just make one:)
