Get into the music business

Post by Raindogred »

Guys I'm desperate to crack into the music biz. I feel the only thing holding me back is that I don't look the part!! Desperate to get hold of one of these, feeling sad that I missed the boat, came up a dollar short and a day late....

Imagine the knowing looks of respect you would get rocking up to music executive meeting toting one of these beauties on your shoulder?????
Mike did you ever have one of these or see one? What a thing of beauty...I'd love to get one.

Mike, that bag must be handy for cashing in the royalty checks at the bank each month,,,,bring home the bacon??? That's a serious collectible right there.

On a slight tangent my wife reminded me today by laughing her head off about the meaning of the word Motu (she is a Fiji Indian, fluent in Hindi), she saw my laptop open to this site.

Sweetwater appears to be witnessing a surge in MOTU bag sales! They must be stocking some popular products. Get yours before they're all gone!
