    Happy New Year John!

    Coming back from a concert I played last weekend, I listened to a discussion on NPR about how Gen Y'ers (in general) believe they shouldn't have to pay for music, or any media for that matter. Free downloads, open sharing.

    The commentator made a great point. He said when these young people (I'm not one of them...) attempt to earn a living as musicians, composers, movie producers they'll likely see things very differently--they'll want to be paid for their work, unless they all have day jobs.

    I gladly pay for the music I listen to and enjoy.
