| Rudyard Vance's
page........ Tweet A Veteran Studio Musician Describes How to Not Get Your Butt Kicked by Change My name is Rudyard Vance (stage name Que Fountaine), a graduate accountant, MBA, and a performing keyboardist in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am the owner operator of Vance Economic Services, an accounting firm in business for over 30 years. As most, I have been an artist longer than I have been an accountant. My first gig was as an opening act for Ike and Tina Turner at the Long Island Club in the heart of the ghetto in San Francisco. The pay was $25 a night. For a 12 year old that was good, but changes came to the industry like a cold shower at 4 am.
DJ disco cut musician’s jobs one club at a time until there were no
clubs left to perform at. In San Francisco, Bill Graham, Chet Helms,
and others controlled big venues where shows were produced 5 days a
week. Performers had to get on board or they would be left behind with
no gigs. The customers wanted a higher class of performances, original
songs, show biz, and glam. I played in a band trying to find an
identity that Bill Graham thought would sell. It never happened. I did
studio work in real studios, and then the computers came. You had to
know what computers could do to take you to the next level. If you
didn’t you were left behind.

Why are we doing this? GDRI is an
aggressive advocate for creators' and artists' rights in the digital/data age.
We don't just talk about stuff, we actually do stuff. Stuff
like suing the wireless carriers on behalf of creators and artists. Don't
you think it's about time you did something to help GDRI? Legal strategies
and administration costs money. And so, the question is, do we continue
fighting this fight with or without your help?
The solution is for you
to
get involved!
and/or at least make and
register MMS versions of your
work. ASAP! You may do these things at a whopping 50%
discount whenever and wherever you see this;
Fast Trak is
