I figure by spring we'll be on the road, but with no tour support. These days you better have a good head for business if you want to make it as a band.

Yeah I am sure, but this was back in the day before Mp3's and file sharing
I am talking late 80's , early 90's. I am sure it is 10X harder now, but then again, with the internet you can be a success on your own with enough marketing and cut out the middleman, just takes a ton of work. A childhood friend of mine who I don't talk to much anymore is in a band too called Bridge (might not be anymore). He is a phenomenal guitarist, he was a child prodigy, just couldn't get in with the right bands. His name is Paul Moore and is extremely gifted with the axe. Hopefully he gets on with a band that gets signed, he deserves it.
