You know music is a wonderful world,where would we be without it ? It can make you happy or sad, make a memory easier to remember or get you through some rough times,yes it is part of our lives.For those starting out the thoughts after hearing that great song by someone makes you think God I would love to write a song like that,and we have all thought that at some point.A starter or a pro no matter how big a star, loves to hear their friends and fans give their approval to something they have done in their musical offerings.If you are a musician,a solo artist or in a band,when starting out you will have the nights where the crowd is very small but go on, give it your best,I know that it sure takes alot to stay upbeat but those people that are there usually want to hear what you are all about(you never know who is listening).Now this brings me to how did you get to perform at this venue in the first place.Well,if you are unknown,it's hard to perform all your own music so no doubt you can only sneak a few of your own tunes in, the rest will have to be cover songs,this is where you will get your experience of the world of performing for live audience's.When you get that" big gig "know your stuff, have it together, look good or the part, it all helps but it's your own music that will count in the end.Now on the internet there is so much music and different types.There are hundreds of sites where you can put your songs for people to listen to or download,this is a great start.Eveyone needs a base and depending how far you want to take your musical career,it sure is a great way to start.If your starting out get those photo's and bio's and songs recorded and put them out there,people love to hear and see what you are all about.The world of music for singers,bands,songwriters is not an easy one,there are many roadblocks,ups and downs.We all would love to write great songs and be the next super star on a major label, but in reality only a few will get that far and have their music remembered forever.It doesn't matter as long as your happy and touch some others with your songs,the old saying a big fish in a small pond.We all have our ponds and dreams,ever been to a house party or at a beach party,boy when the guitar or guitars come out it's surprising the songs you will remember words to and the fun you always have.You need a fan base,someone who will listen and in my thinking what better way then using the internet to it's full extent.The musicians you will meet old and new have some super music out there and they all have the same thing in common,music.Small town,Big city,the world of music has no bounds,work hard and you will see the value.Don't give up your dreams,we are listening.

Hey Art,

So nice to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by my page and leaving a greeting. I have been busy working 9-5 and don't get much of a chance to come and visit. I hope everything is going well for you and the band. Wishing you every success!

Cheers

Good Morning, Mr. Murphy! I would be greatly honored to have you critique my work and am totally astounded you would want to? Thank you so very much! I'm just a Little Country Girl from a town of 700 people, counting the outskirts too. Great Grandfather Silverheels talked our Father:George William Lung/Silverheels into having all of my Sisters (4 of us)to enter a Singing Contest when I was only 3 years old and we won! We had free ice cream and free amusement park rides the rest of that day. We couldn't believe we won and I don't our Father thought we would so when we showedup with tons of ice cream he woundered, "Where we go all that stuff!" He was worried "We did something wrong and he would have to pay to replace it all." But when he realized we did win he and Mommy were so happy for us all. We won there a couple of times and then the rest of our relatives got so jealeous and envious that Daddy and Mommy didn't dare to let us compete again. My Sister Nance Jayne is going to join and you would love her singing and she plays the guitar really well! She was in a Beauty Contest and sang Danny Boy and actually won but our Aunt paid the judges off and that jealeously from the past drove her to it, I'm afraid. So Nance Jayne lost to my Cousin that time but the whole town was so mad at my Aunt for stooping that low! We both would be greatly honored for any feedback! Dee Jay Silverheels
