Awhile back I did an interview with Rob Max, the Executive Director for Sweet Relief Musician’s Fund whose mission it is to aid struggling professional musicians who have fallen on hard times. With the digital age clearly upon us, advances in technology and the surge of pirated music have taken a toll not only on the once mighty record labels but also the artists who spent their lives pursuing their craft.
