        Thanks. There are some things being worked on, so it’s only going to get better. But there’s been a lot of progress in the last 4 weeks. I would guess I’ve easily put 300 hours into this. It’s far exceeded a hobby project. I really haven’t done a community site of my own since the 00s, which became the site that made my career after going viral.…Read More

      Both of my kids, teenagers, hide their Spotify playlists from me. I’m told I get too “cringey” when I talk about music. Maybe thats why I appreciate this group so much!

        I find they like good songs from any period back to the 50’s across many genres/subgenres – rock, folk, rockabilly, pop, punk and so on. The dominance of Hip-Hop is waning and genres continue to blur resulting in some great new music arriving if you know how to find it.

        Simple. I turned 11 years old the day The Beatles landed in the USA for the first time (7 Feb 1964). I saw them on Ed Sullivan both times they appeared.

        When I heard Appetite for Destruction it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard.

      How would you name the social media accounts for a music project, when the 1:1 version is already taken? Would you go with:

      – project_official
      – project_band
      – project_music

      or something else? This is currently more of a solo effort, though any live performances would require a band. I’m personally leaning towards the project_music, but…Read More

        I would tend to go with ProjectOfficial or project-official next.

        I would not want to use the _ character as users tend to not remember that and there may be times you’re telling people and they’re not reading something and there’s also the fact that some people may see something and not do it immediately and rely on memory. There’s been a lot…Read More

        Generally they say to avoid the underscore, and also the dot. RealProject would be another good alternative. Only 4 extra characters, looks professional and generic if Project switches to something else so it will still work.

        I’ve felt that experience more when playing with other musicians. While I have been doing multitrack recordings since I was a kid, playing alone never came close to the experience of playing with other musicians.

You don’t even think if you are doing it right or wrong, what finger goes to what fret, if you press it hard or soft. You just play and play and play. One of the best feelings I have experienced. Also, it motivates…Read More

      I was talking with a friend and talked about LinkedMusicians. He asked for a clarification on what I meant by “it’s an online community of musicians.” I explained, it’s basically Facebook for musicians with forums focused on sharing deals, tutorials, documentaries, gear and music production. How would you describe it?
