When I first started teaching full-time back in 2000, I worked with a band that had tons of potential. However, they were just waiting for something to fall into their laps. I tried to motivate them as much as I could, but they eventually fell apart, after hanging around Nashville doing nothing for a while. Several years later, the nucleus of the band re-formed under a new name. This time, they did it right. They toured endlessly, produced and released their own records, did all their own legwork, and built up a sizeable following. I was happy to hear they recently got signed!

If an artist/band cannot support themselves with their music/merchandise, this is a good indicator of their 'earning' power if they had 'major' support. Great comments that are very true.
