Upon Entering the Music Biz After years of establishment disapproval, the music biz is now being promoted by the education department as a career with prospects

Go into the music business

Make the best of all new starts

My advice, Miss/Mister/Miz is Go for management. Not arts

Hopefuls hang in hungry bunches

On the ladder's lowest rungs

Calibrate careers in lunches

Exercising silver tongues

Later, sporting this year's haircut

At some industry affair.

When musicians ask for their cut

Learn the phrase: "What money? Where?"

Go into the music biz

Golden Gooseville, Residential

Full of lovely folk it is

Music knowledge not essential

Did I say that? Pardon me

I didn't mean to wield the knife

Years in bands. I mix French poetry

Up sometimes with real life
