You know a $450 million US-valued software company’s forum isn’t important to them when it’s outsourced to a SasS company and the server is down on a regular basis. It was down a lot of the day today.
Let your friends know about LinkedMusicians, including friends over at Cakewalk Forums, which I suspect won’t be operating very much longer.…Read More

I created this GROUP to be a place where we can post funny, completely ridiculous memes that make each other laugh, as well as meaningful and inspirational quotes. With that in mind, here’s a serious one.

My mother — a very talented pianist/organist and music teacher — would have enjoyed this! She used to say, “You’re only a musician because you play the piano. Drummers aren’t musicians.”

Back when I was a working musician, my day job was project manager of large direct mail marketing campaigns, including Columbia House and BMG music clubs (this will mean something to Americans of a certain age). I had a wall filled with Far Side comics and this was one of them.

Despite me being an atheist my second favourite quote is by Sibelius “Music is, for me, like a beautiful mosaic which God has put together. He takes all the pieces in his hand, throws them into the world, and we have to recreate the picture from the pieces.”

To keep the ball rolling – not a meme but my favourite musical quote – Vaughan Williams said about his very different & spiky 4th Symphony ””I don’t know whether I like it, but it’s what I meant!”
I love it!

I love this. Rock-Jazz-Fusion band, Vital Information, is given a song and are challenged to quickly come up with a unique arrangement. In this case, they are presented with the Soundgarden song, “Black Hole Sun,” and I think they absolutely kill it. Just a great job.

I’m so sorry to see this news. Billy Joel has canceled all scheduled concert performances due to being diagnosed with a brain disorder that has led to “problems with hearing, vision and balance.”
Billy Joel has been one of my favorite singer/songwriters since I was a kid and my own kids have grown up hearing his music around the house and in…Read More

Through his career, critics continuously panned his music as schmaltz. I find he’s one of the greatest American pop songwriters of all time, up there with the best around the world (Lennon/McCartney, Paul Simon, Carole King…).

Totally agree – a young female friend of mine (who is an astonishing fiddle player) sang Piano Man when she was first branching out into singing and her version is sublime

One of my old musician friends I played with for years has a younger brother that plays drums and sax semi-professionally named Dan Webster. I’m listening in my headphones, very nice. You know, I am a huge fan of of a bunch of Irish folk rockers like Damien Rice and David Gray from their early days on. In Chicago, there’s a place called The Old…Read More

That’s great Joe. I intended this GROUP to be all kinds of memes and quotes, from funny ones to serious and inspirational quotes. I love them all and I’m sure I’m not alone. So when the moment strikes you — or you see something you want to share — don’t hold back!
