What is it? How will it help? How much? All those questions, as well as a list of the $1,000+ in bonuses you...
I recently did something I never thought I’d be able to do. I recorded a baby grand piano for one of my songs. I don’t own one. My friend does, and I got to record him playing some beautiful stuff for my track. And I never would’ve been able to do that if I didn’t...
