It is always good to get publicity in as much as being famous is concern. Many people do not understand how a own record or written songs mean a lot. I so much agree with your point here.

This is so very true.Do your things well they are surely to be appreciated one fine day.

I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, a musician - unless you care to count my three and a half years in two schools' singing groups, but I am a writer (of sorts) and know how tough it is to keep plugging away and plugging away at something, and sometimes getting naught for the effort. Either an idea fails to jell or pan out, or websites cease to exist, or writer's block sets in, but I'd be nowhere right now if not for two things, support from friends and perserverance. And yikes! The music world without "Hey Jude," "I Am the Walrus," or "Eleanor Rigby?" Yikes! Yes, Leighdu, you’re absolutely right when you say that perservance is a key element in a musician’s ability to “sink or swim,” as it were.

I am sure there are thousands of bands who were at the point of tossing in the towel and letting everything go. I come from a family of musicians, so I know just how difficult it can be. But just think what would have happened if The Beatles decided to give up when things weren't picking up for them yet. Music would not be the same today. Very true and wonderful article.

I'm a writer and designer, and have the same problem - even people who would LIKE your work sometimes have to be in the mood for it. Anyone who creates has to have a strong will, and a lot of patience - but keep at it, you WILL be appreciated! It can be hard when things aren’t going your way.
