Which tells you how long ago that was. But with the help of my friend Bobby Nathan at Unique Studios, we basically put all our own money into it. We made a record that resonated enough with blues fans and it’s still one of the best selling pieces in the catalog. It’s called Blues Deluxe . And that was the day J&R Adventures was founded”

If you own the 360 model and you’re making money from touring and merchandising and recordings - and now Spotify and endorsements - if you’re making all of that money, you’re way better off than if you just took a big check, gave 39% to the government and then five years from now you run out of money and go, ‘I don’t get another big check anymore.

You have to come up with the $2 million to promote them but you can make $15 million on the back end.’ Not a lot of people would sign up for that.
