I’ve made Seth’s Blog a part of my RSS feed for weeks now. It’s slim pickings for the music aficionado, but his posts are always thought-provoking. Always. And I can’t say that about many blogs.

His latest dispatch is titled The law of the little shovel and it goes something like this:

If you want to dig a big hole, you need to stay in one place.

If you walk around town with a little shovel, you’ll just end up digging thousands of little holes, not one big one.

Call on one person ten times and you might make the sale. Call on ten people once each and you will likely get ten rejections.

You’ll find no answers on my end, only questions. Could I learn something from this? Could you? Could music bloggers in general?

Could songwriters and musicians learn something from this? Could record labels?
