Comments on: How hard you have to work not to fail http://averyfineline.com/2007/01/14/how-hard-you-have-to-work-not-to-fail/ Criticism and commentary on southern gospel music Tue, 22 May 2012 18:02:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 By: RF http://averyfineline.com/2007/01/14/how-hard-you-have-to-work-not-to-fail/#comment-4284 RF Mon, 15 Jan 2007 22:53:31 +0000 http://averyfineline.com/2007/01/14/how-hard-you-have-to-work-not-to-fail/#comment-4284 Coming from an area where I don't see many groups, the internet has been a godsend along with i-Tunes. Instead of having to shop the Christian bookstores (which is usually futile), I can, as Jim said, click and buy. A good example is table projects. I could never get them before, but now I can thanks to Al Gore...er the internet. Coming from an area where I don’t see many groups, the internet has been a godsend along with i-Tunes.

I work on the retail side of the industry and one of the questions about SG music has always been about what percentage of album sales happens at retail and how much is sold at concerts. A good example would be the Hoppers new CD, The Ride - as far as I know not available in stores unless they deal directly with the Hoppers. I'm sure internet sales are booming - now you don't have to wait for the artist to have a concert in a town near you, you can just click 'n buy.

I was planning on writing a post tomorrow morning making this exact point. Maybe I'll do it anyhow, but I'll just have to give you credit for saying it first! Avery, this is almost scary.
