In this brief first‑person narrative, the speaker recounts how his band and a partner band toured together both across the United States and overseas, including performances for the USO/Armed Forces Entertainment. While the partner band benefited from larger management and bigger touring opportunities, both groups supported each other through shared marketing efforts and industry initiatives. When both acts finished touring at the same time, they co‑founded a company and built a full‑service label infrastructure that now supports multiple artists. The speaker also notes that they have re‑assembled the band Prospect Hill under this new business framework.
