Last week my son received his first royalty check for one song that he produced in 2019. He has a talent in the music industry, writing songs and producing music for himself and for various artists in LA.

I asked him if he'd read TMF and he said that he did, back when I sent it to him two years ago.

He told me that it's hard to stay focused on his music career when he can make "so much more money" at his J.O.B. "But I know I'll get there with music and it will be so much more rewarding in the end."

He's in the high end bar/hospitality industry for "work" but his career is clearly going to be producing and writing music.
