Interviews

I did one Interview with Mr. Jon Burton, who plays guitar in the band Blues Deluxe. I have incorporated the information he gave me into sections of the search. I also had a telephone interview with Mitch Brody. He works at a record company. He told me that record companies look for bands with a hit, and an average garage band can get signed by getting their song played on the radio and having a live following. Record companies offer bands better royalties, money, and creative control to try to get the band to sign with them. He answered my question about why 1996 wasn’t a good year for the record company. He said that since computers became popular, people didn’t really need music for entertainment as much anymore. He also told me that the first record companies were family owned.
