Very Good Advice for Independent Artists
author: Barrie Z.
I found this CD to be very helpful. I am currently planning a CD Release party for my new album (soon to be on CDBaby) and I'm starting to book shows. I found that I will be able to use all 29 Principles from Bob Baker's CD. I'm also working with another online forum and I found that Bob Baker's advice is really right on target with what I'm hearing from other professional managers and booking agents. For anyone just starting out or struggling a bit trying to make things happen, this CD is a "should have" for your collection.

Another Great Music Business Product by Bob Baker!
author: David Hooper - IndieMusician.com
One of the things I love about Bob is his ability to break complicated subjects down into bite-sized pieces that are easy to grasp. "29 Key Principles" is the kind of thing you'll want to listen to with a pen and pad in hand because the ideas you'll get from this CD could literally be life-changing for you. This CD is a real bargain for the price and I think ANY musician (or creative person) will benefit from what it contains.
