RE: Americana guesswork

And who wants to be signed now that you can buy your own CD burner and
laser printer and print up CDs as you need them, at the rate you need
them, etc?

I was talking recently to someone who has an indie album that's sold
several thousand and a self-release that's only sold about 1,000.
Apparently this person is already in the black on the self-release,
whereas the indie still claims it hasn't recouped on sales 5 or 6 times
that high....

And so on.  Who needs 'em....
