Timothy Rogers' blog

I should not quit my day job.

Damn, I guess I can’t quit my day job, lol. When I released my book last year I never expected to get rich but to date I have sold an astounding number of books…..2. Yep’s that right, 2 books and I know who bought them. My friends Aunt and my other friend’s ex girlfriend. 2, wow. anyway when I released my CD not long ago, I had the same expectations but my expections were certainly too high it appeared, lol. I sold so much I could retire….0. That’s right, I sold nothing, nada, zilch. when I saw that on my LULU.com account page I started laughing, so I would not cry, lol. Like the book I advertised like crazy, dozens of online classifieds and craigslist and even several press releases through sites like PR.com with zero sales as the result. Oh well, I must really suck. I am curently putting together an EP of songs that I did not put on my CD “delusions of grandeur” but now I am not so sure. I have no Delusions of Grandeur (pardon the pun) about my success but damn, 0 copies sold. I thought about it and I realized that it’s not about money or success, it’s about creating something, creating music and putting it out there with the possiblity that someone gets it and enjoys it. Money and success should be an afterthought, a reward if you will but not the sole reason to create music. either way , I still think I suck. One last thing, I can’t believe the talent that is on Ourstage, thank god for this site, it’s awesome.

    That's great! I had to laugh because we probably suck too! After nearly 40 years of playing music, we have NEVER sold a single track! But what the hell, we enjoy making music, and it has helped keep us together for 37 years! There are much worse things we could be doing with our time and money! BTW - love the grooves are putting down. Are you thinking of putting some vocals with any of it? Regards, Bob (Bob & Deb)

    Golly Gee Wally (leave it beaver) Thanks man. I love your music. You are very talented as well. Although, I must say that adding "comedian" to your talent would be a plus! Your funny!

    Don't give up man!!!! If there's anyone other out there that knows how hard it could be getting noticed.... it's us!! and to top it of we got the Time difference between Norway and New Orleans USA.... But we are independent as they come.... so we are writing and recording music and trying to find the necessary contacts so that we get our CD on a shelf inn a store where people can see it and buy it if they want it....... So.... for now we are inn it for the fun.... just as you are i suppose....
