Fly Fishing Your Music

 Music promotion and fly fishing  are both very specialized activities and require, contradictorily, a simultaneous shotgun and surgical approach.


For example, what can beat wading out into a chill stream on a warm summer day, gracefully tossing fly after fly onto the water's surface, anticipating a riser who will struggle with the hook until you pull it in, your adrenaline rushing the entire time? It takes patience and practice but the beauty of the catch is its own reward.

So it is also when you toss out lead after lead either on social media or in person and find an interested response that is willing to hear the sound of the musician you are advocating for and to actually do something about making their dreams a reality. That's another kind of a rush that comes with the exchange of abstract spiritual gifts.

Both skills demand not only a tailored surgical approach but also a 'shotgun' approach. Some times you just have to go for broke and cast like crazy in all directions until you find a spot where the fish are biting. But without the right bait and technique, you're just wasting your time--a commodity that grows increasingly valuable everyday into today's lightning speed, fast paced world. Patience. Chill. God will provide.
