Interesting article that caused a spark...

So this article is one of the reasons I want to explore the benefits of technology for the working musician:

It covers several areas including the use of social media, software and hardware that can be used to give Musicians more scope to not only make music but promote and market their own product.

Some other articles I came across:

Happy reading!
