Father Musician Problems

BeardedBaritone · 11-27-2014, 02:11 PM

As a father it is hard for me to get out and perform as much i feel is needed to start this music career. My lady work 40 hrs. a week and she has blessed me with allowing me to only get a part time job so i can pursue music but the cost of babysitter's and such make it almost impossible to make it financially possible... anybody have any words of wisdom on this topic.

Stupid question but have you tried YouTube or Bandcamp? If you have your guitar, piano or whatever at home and some sort of ok setup for a studio you can probably perform "live in your living room" as it were. A lot of artistes have been discovered that way.

Just an idea.

Why is my attempt at advice termed "reluctant" by you? I didn't have to offer any opinion. Hmm. Maybe you are a richard after all...

If you actually want someone to take your advice you shouldn't start with "Stupid Question". but i'm sure your just here to put down stranger's who have real questions.

He was referring to his own question.

Yeah that's true. Should have put the old colon in. That is what I meant but I see how it could have been misinterpreted.

FTR, this is what I meant: "The following question I am going to ask is a stupid one, as I'm sure you've considered this but..."

and this is what I did not mean:

"Your question is stupid.."

Apologies if I came across in that way, definitely not intended. I understand where your reply was coming from now.

Hope that clears everything up.

Also, imo if your wife has agreed to this arrangement then I don't think you should be penalised for it or slagged over it. After all, it's not like you said "You go out and work woman, I want to play my music!" is it? If you're both comfortable with the arrangement, fair play t'ye both. Is what I say.
