Testimonials Mr. Spangenberg, I just wanted to send a note - what a wonderful website you have created. You have provided encouragement in the music industry without giving false expectations. I have forwarded your web address to several musicians who may gain a great deal of knowledge just from your site. Sincerely, ----- What should most importantly be said about David Spangenberg is that he is a straight shooter. He tells it like it is and offers tremendous insight into "The Biz". If you are serious about the business that is perhaps the most extremely difficult business to break into in the world, then pay attention to "the Pooch". He has a lot to offer to help you arm yourself for that most difficult task. Trust in Pooch! Jim
Gallagher --- This
is one fabulous site. I even learned from it. Here's to you Pooch! --- Professor
Pooch has developed an indepth exploration of the ever changing music
business in all aspects. With his ability to share with anyone, seasoned
or the novice, interested in the music business, he also adds wit and
humor, giving it more life and interest than any site I have fallen upon.
Once you get to the site, you will be coming back for more. The site is
absolutely fascinating and educational. Just an indication of the breadth
of his talents. [100's more available upon request]
