General Music Chat

I just want the chance to play music that I love. I put other because I didn't feel any of the answers really said what I was trying to - it DOES make me feel alive when I'm singing, but it also is a chance to express an emotion that I feel when I hear or write the song, and that's a big deal to me.

I believe that music is sacred. It has been historically used in religious and tribal ceremonies. It also has been used to lead men into battle.
The people of a religion and or tribe identify with the music, dances and the lyrics of the songs. This connects them and strings them together.

So being in a all original band as I am. Our fans to me are like a tribe or extended family. They identify with our music so there for I identify with them.
We bond in a religious fashion.

If you are playing in a copy band you are most likely playing someone?s music that you identify with and attracting parts of their tribe as your fan base.

Remember it only took the music industry about 109 years of work to completely capitalize on it and turn it into a bunch of street bands not getting paid by club owners.

Rock on and thank you all so far for your input to this chat,

Being part of a band is like having another family. There are squabbles, highs, lows, etc. It`s almost a marriage. It`s like having a group of guys that create a new category of friends. This is an achievement that far to few are allowed or have the chance to be a part of. There are different categories of bands also. There`s the fun band, the work band, the gig band, the professional touring band, and or recording band. Each offer activities that every serious musician should experience. Each offer growth to each member. Each offers asventures. Being in a band in which all members take equally serious is a goal that few ever achieve. And if you succeed in this endeavor, you should thank whatever God you worship because it is literally a one in a million type thing. "Keep The Funk Alive!"
