This blog is part of an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 9. With my Gibson, Marshall Amp and Bass in tow, the next day I made my way to the session.

Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

This blog is part 9 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 8 now. My next session was scheduled for September 11th which was good because I had a bit of homework.

Again, a pretty simple song, so a pretty … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session
