It's all about the live show. Everything else that you want in today's music business is dependent on you having a great live show - not just good or even very good - GREAT! This book is for the singer/songwriter who is ready to make the big leap from the craft of performing to the art of being an artist/writer/entertainer. But to start with, one of the best ways to make a living is to be a solo singer/songwriter/performer who owns the melody, the lyrics, the voice, the song arrangement and the recording master. The only thing that has changed in the music business is the loss of the major income stream from record sales and the manner in which the audience is receiving and consuming recorded music. But as far as singer/songwriters and live performances are concerned, HOW TO ENTERTAIN AN AUDIENCE HAS NOT CHANGED. The audience still wants to be entertained no matter how well or badly the record business is doing. Caveat 1: The 101 WAYS are not guaranteed to make you a star, only to improve your chances of success; hence, the book's title. Caveat 2: This is not a "How To" book; this is a "What To Do" book. Each page states the direction to take. HOW you do them is up to you. Caveat 3: None of these instructions by themselves will change your life or your career. However, the more of them you adhere to, the better. Caveat 4: Although the Table of Contents topic headings in which these 101 WAYS are set up may seem random, they're not. It's pretty much arranged in a step-by-step manner to build upon what's come before. Caveat 5: It's not about who has the most talent; it's about who wants it more and will work harder to get it - the real secrets to success.

Crises of Empire offers a comprehensive and uniquely comparative analysis of the history of decolonization in the British, French and Dutch empires. By comparing the processes of decolonization across three of the major modern empires, from the aftermath of the First World War to the late 20th century, the authors are able to analyse decolonization as a long-term process. They explore significant changes to the international system, shifting popular attitudes to colonialism and the economics of empire. This new edition incorporates the latest developments in the historiography, as well as: - Increased coverage of the Belgian and Portuguese empires - New introductions to each of the three main parts, offering some background and context to British, French and Dutch decolonization - More coverage of cultural aspects of decolonization, exploring empire 'from below' This new edition of Crises of Empire is essential reading for all students of imperial history and decolonization. In particular, it will be welcomed by those who are interested in taking a comparative approach, putting the history of decolonization into a pan-European framework.
