Nice Zoe Keating interview - establishing oneself as an artist.

[Matt Davignon <mattdavignon@gmail.com>]

Zoe Keating just linked to a nice interview of her on facebook. The
focus of the interview is mostly how to become a professional
musician.

At first, there seems to be an "Underpants Gnomes" element to Zoe's
story, which works something like this:
1) Post music online, on Itunes, bandcamp, etc.
2) ?
3) Lots of people download the music, and invite you to lots of gigs.

However, around 28:30 and especially 31:20, she starts really getting
into what musicians should do to make connections. She discusses
creating musical networks, and saying yes to things (because someone
like National Public Radio might happen to be at some of the more
difficult events). Earlier on, she talks about how she makes time for
promotion/social networking as part of her career.

Randolf Arriola is one of the questioners.

Oh Zoe, I've missed your nervous laugh.
