Complete Idiot’s Guide® to The Music Business TweetChat Hosted by Michael Miller… Every musician who wants to make a living needs to be aware of all aspects of the music business. It’s all too easy for a talented musician to get lost in the morass of minute details.  And not all people who love music become professional musicians.
