General Music Chat

Now - who else is working on not being boring?

Based upon the dream - I believe this thing is going somewhere. I haven't had that feeling in a long time. It's psychedelic!

Just did 13 concerts in the last 14 days in 4 states with thousands of travel miles in between. It only slows down this week because I had to cancel everything for a funeral in Florida tomorrow.

And last week I sent my THIRD CD in the last year to manufacturing

Those three are called:

Warsaw Sessions
Hollywood Sessions
Jerusalem Sessions

I call it the Cultural Xchange Series


It should have been ready a year ago but thats what happens when you work with musicians and producers and artists and venues on three continents at the same time. Now that the songs are finished, I'm working on a photo album that will contain all 3 disks and tell the story

Cultural Xchange Series will now shift into high gear and become a program of virtual reality tourism and international concerts you can watch LIVE anywhere in the world.


Then back to same old boring grind....




A little time to enjoy the family and then on to Boston the first weekend of June and making my way south through July. Planning a western tour for August so the whole family can go to Colorado, Yellowstone, Yosemite, and San Francisco.

I'm sure you've been asked before Ted but do you have any video on Youtube?

A lot of it....most of it is embarrassing iPhone recordings posted from live appearances by fans.

I do have my own YouTube channel for posting songs

Those are mostly lyric videos, because getting congregations/churches to use my music in their services is the best way to make royalties in the digital age. There are several appearances on television programs on the page, but I've only got one real "music video" per se.

This was released at Dachau in 2007 and a bit more militaristic than I would have done, if the label would have asked. Still...it's a powerful message that I can only use once or twice a year for an appropriate setting

Oh, look. I have 27 posts. Been here almost a year. Click on "view your posts", it's 7 pages long. Why does this site have to lose count of our posts? Is that an indicator that this is just a front for some North Korean piracy operation?

It only counts posts you start, not replies.

I've started 5 topics, tops! It's a bad site, bad software, etc.
I'm not giving them a credit card number. The password between my info and hackers is most likely "password".

Well, thanks for the explanation....

OF THE DUMBEST THING I EVER HEARD!

Look it up Schmedy! It's right there in sub-section "d" of chapter 42 of the Government Trolls Manual Of Operational Style

You have way too much time on your hands!

Are you really in Smithville NY? I thought you were in Gnashvile?

If you are, then you're a neighbor to your nemesis here....and I'd like to visit you in about 2 or 3 weeks.

Rule number one of Bandmix... we don't talk about Bandmix.

Maybe I'm contrarian, but I actually do look at the profiles quite a bit, at least as much as I read the forum posts. I like to hear what other folks are doing--when they post music, anyway ("hear" being the operational word)--and maybe I have the secret dream that I'll run into someone who has musical sensibilities similar to mine (in 2+ years, that's never happened...but I'm in Tampa, forgawdsake).

On the wry side, I really like the profiles that are loaded w/ pics, but no music at all; perhaps musicians gravitate together based on physical attraction? ('You're soooo good lookin'--let's start a band!' If that is indeed the case, I'm doomed.) Or is it, 'hey, I'm posing w/ an instrument--that means I'm a musician'? I esp. love the profiles that say (and I've actually seen a few of these), 'The band is going really well, have at least 30 high-paying gigs lined up. Just need a drummer, bass player, a couple guitarists and a keyboard player. Also someone who has a PA. Everything else is already in place.' But I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse here...

Guy taking a selfie in the bathroom mirror in his tank top and stained shorts ftw!

I scan the profiles for my area every day in case someone new has shown up. I don't bother looking at the profile if they don't have a picture of them playing, or at least used something beside the generic pictures BM makes available. And if no music is posted ... bye-bye....

I know I've got to do the serious searching work myself because the people who are searching aren't reading.
Two contacts in the last few days - one here, band looking for an electric guitarist (it says right in my profile I'm looking for 'mostly acoustic') and one through craigslist - a solo player, when I have modified by ad to show I'm only looking for a duo or band looking for another player. last night at an open mic, a guitarist I know tried to hook me up with a guy who came with him, but I stopped him cold, explained - starting a duo from scratch is just too much work at this point for me - already wasted too many hours on too many people.

for the record, pipes make everything go better
