First, I want to thank you and everyone who has listened to the show. I want to thank all of the artists who have come in and shared their story and made this show worth listening to. Thank you. I have loved doing this show. I have connected with so many artists and been inspired by their music and their stories. I hope you have too.
Since episode 400, we've done a live show for each hundred episodes. Obviously, this was not an option for episode 900, so I put together some snippets from other live shows.

Again, thank you so much for listening. I'm going to keep on bringing you stories from your favorite artists, introducing you to artists and spreading the word of music as long as I possible can. This show is, has and will always be available for free. However, if you would like to kick in a little something for all of the work, you can contribute here: Johnny's PayPal it is always appreciated. Let's get down!

Hello friends! Last Sunday, The Austin Music Foundation invited me to do some live panel discussions with two leaders in Austin music about their journey and "how they got here" at the On the Record An ATX Marketplace and Panel event at Native Hostel. First up I talk to digital marketing guru, Betty Tran about digital marketing and social media marketing and we take some questions from the audience. Next up, I talk to artist, Mobley who had just signed a record deal the night before with Last Gang records. Mobley gives some insight to making headway in the music business and also takes some questions. These are great and informative conversations. I hope you enjoy them. I sure did. I'd like to thank Betty and Mobley for coming down and sharing their knowledge. I'd also like to thank Austin Music Foundation, Native Hostel, SXSW, Vinylmnky, Tune Core, Kanto Audio and Culture Map Austin for having me. Let's get down!
