Not so long ago, if you owned a guitar and wrote your own songs,
your chances of ending up in a studio, recording your very own album,
were about as likely as being struck by lightning.
But good news, would-be rock stars. Your odds have

and some spare time.
Oh, and be sure to bring your checkbook.

publisher to print their tomes, guitar-toting dreamers are no longer
waiting to be discovered: They're laying out big bucks - upward of
$10,000 in some cases - to record their own albums.
