In addition to the above, how about a good old-fashioned benefit concert with the theme "Stop the Piracy"? She would get more "public" name recognition in one night than in her entire life, and people might wake up to her plight, and to that of other musicians. Perhaps I am dreaming, but...

Do a rehersal after you've practized a bit. Then record the rehersal and let everyone listen to it. The truth will be there....;) Either yay or nay.

Never judge unless you have been there. In my case, alcohol. It will take what was a reasonable mind, and turn it against itself. It will persuade you that what might seem absurd on the outside, is, in fact, quite normal. Meanwhile, you try to overcome the fear that you are no longer...

What is with the bizarre one-liner Babelfish-like posts? "This is bought it? Or how it?" :hmm: :rollno:

Age has little to do with it. Interest enough to know your music history has. If a 'kid" really cared, he would listen, regardless of when something came out. And, to get to hear it, he would actually read music history. If you don't know where something came from, you don't have any...

Every time these cable threads come up, Monster gets more free advertizing....:hmm: :rollno: If a cable is of a decent thickness, quiet (no RF) and has solid connectors with strain relief, it is a good cable. Period. The rest is reptile W40. Marketing. I order from Redco. They use, I...

This is a sad, painful thread. To read about quality like that walking in the door, and then for them to get blown off like nothing.... With the OP stating he was locking in on drums with the bassist, and the vocalist being good...talk about stepping over dollars to pick up pennies...

Wow. That puts it into the same territory as Bob Dylan's first album with the deleted songs, as well as several blues 78s. Good song; what an amazing way this wound up having such value. Thanks for sharing; I had never heard of Frank Wilson, but he certainly had chops. CC.

To use the word '********' in a thread involving hearing protection.....I think you get my drift :scowl: The impact of sound on ears is vastly underrated. Working in TV, I could feel, after a day of wearing intercom headsets at normal speaking volume, the fatigue in my ears just from the...

Unfortunately, lately it's been "Poker Face"; call me a victim of "the stupidly simple riff." :hmm: :D I always have "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" cued up on my mental turntable, because I have used it again and again to test my top vocal range. Now if only Lady GaGa would go away.....:rollno...

It takes one to know one: He's well on his way down the ladder of alcoholism. If he and the wife are not talking, that's one good excuse to medicate, because he ain't getting sex. The fact that he is still standing after 7 beers and a bottle tells you his tolerance is really getting up...

Well, one way could be to take a deliberate 'bare bones' approach and find a way to do a couple of covers with perhaps guitar, keys and a bit of drums. Pick songs that will work with simpler arrangements, which would allow you to shine and show your chops. On-line collabs could be good for that...

Being a 'foreigner' myself, living in the US for many years, the last thing I would mess around with is visas and such. The band may have been getting away with it, but the climate today, when it comes to immigration/visas/borders in the US is very ugly, and I can't possibly imagine...

You want lights and thrills, no matter what else you get, you need this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Regular Christmas trees :hyper:....will impress anyone (apart from also being the industry standard in fine-quality metering.) Think of a Dorrough as the next best thing to a lava...
