You can't chop down an honest tree...

Peter Rukavina

The singer/songwriter Serena Matthews on the personal economics of the music business:

If I made enough money from CD sales I could just be a stay at home mom and maybe focus a little bit more on music as well, but I don’t see that happening. My voice is peculiar.. my guitar skills are mediocre, at best. And my songs are too consistently sad for the radio. This leaves me saying “Hmmmm..”
If you want to buy my CD’s, I’ll sign them for you and I’ll make a wish for your happiness. I wouldn’t even ask if I didn’t really need the money right now. Honestly, I do need the money.

You can listen to and download all of Matthews’ tracks online. But if you buy her CD she’ll handwrite the track names on it for you.
