We spent all of last week here in NYC with our daughter Emily.

Yet many times the bad experiences were precipitated by a misunderstanding of “who does what” and why. That’s why the writer of the following submitted this to the blog of an industry website popular among “indie” artists and bands: You first need [...]]]></description>
