I spent many years as a CPA in the music business with quite a few very successful acts.  We can go from the top end to street.  I worked with a number of genres.  Who wants to help make some great music?

Why just SW Asia? create a publishing company for vets to give them a place to network and submit music. Find a publisher who is interested in working with us.

Well said.  I am open to all of the above.  I have access to pretty much whatever needs to be done, and I able to protect your works of music because of my extensive background in the music world.  What, in your opinion, is the best way to reach out to military and vets to generate a movement?  We can generate prizes of all kinds, including recording equipment, instruments, etc.  First I want to have a model that you folks are interested in having, then making an initiative out of it and get it funded and in motion.

 I'm a peace time vet, but there are a lot of disabled vets with limited mobility who could work in the industry like you. Even if they didn't work full time it would give them purpose, working from home with Skype. The music business is demanding, and competitive, the comradely of fellow vets would be a big asset.

I would love to, but what nature are we talking about? More of the satirical approach or serious?

I am open.  This is a way for musicians to express themselves.  I believe it is the combination of all of the above that allows to come up with a number of ideas we can explore to make work.  This can also lead to video shorts, and there are many applications for there.  So, soldier/veteran artists would be able to make a start on a profession and earn a living.

Thanks -you are absolutely correct.  We have a program called Team Patriot helping disabled with some great programs to help give them the ability to expand their horizons and life styles.  I am all for being inclusive of all veterans-just because Dick Cheney wasn't in power to get Halliburton some more business does not mean we all did not serve with honor and with pride.  In fact, the fissures established between boots on the ground and everywhere else is counterproductive, and in my mind, illegal.  That is for another day.  I am open to any suggestions as to making this happen.  I have no ego, and this is not for me to make money-this is from Vets-Help to help others in their transitions and to tell stories.
