I saw that the BK's are members of the American Music Association. I saw some of the benefits you get with membership and they seemed kinda cool. What can you guys tell me about this, if anything?
Well, unfortunately, some of the retail discounts have expired (XM hardware in particular), but we get discounts from certain music related services. We get a discount for tickets to the conference in Nashville in September, which I will be going to. But the best thing is the contact lists. They have contact lists for festivals, radio, labels, other musicians. I know these are things I could research on my own, but what would have taken me years to compile is right there for me. Also, you get linked on the site and are recognized as a voting member, so if you choose to, you get to make yourself high profile within the organization. We are new to the org, but I plan on becoming an active member and hope that this will help TBK. I'll keep you updated. MT
