Josh man, I thnk you're about 16, right? Well im 15 and am trying to do almost the exact same thing as you, trying to get into the music buisness SOMEHOW, doing engineering, session work, teaching, anything!

And im gonna outline another point that people 'in the buisness' have told me, and that is that for session work, it is generally WHO you know, which is extremely lame, but the harsh reality.

Ive decided to do education in Music Technology, and then go from there into the wide world of music, gonna do an A level soon in it, and then hopefully a degree, which might eventually set me up with people and get a hell of a lot of experience.

To pass the time now, Im trying to get to know as many people as possible, im doing this through my teacher, as hes being kind enough to take me up to the studio he works at, and letting me see and meet people, and maybe play as well :)

Just wanna say to you man, dont give up with it, because im not gonna ;)
