Scott says: 1. Become the best at one specific thing. 2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.

You raise a fascinating point. Following Scott's format. I wonder if a person can: 1. be the very best musician. 2. Be very good at networking (top 25%) or playing at events .

Now my question to you, petke. With those two things, would any person wanting to be a musician be a successful musician?

Good point. Those musicians that made it, maybe they where just better at networking.

The music I tend to like most is these folk type singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar singing sad songs. A lot of those musicians seem quite introvert and shy, and are probably bad at networking. So it might explain why so many of them don't make it despite their talents.

Haha one of my fav indie singers didn't even bother to reply when I told her her domain was expiring. It's now lost to the shitty secondary market. I guess she gave up. Let me know your email if you'd like to know the artist.
