Music

Welcome to this brand new Music themed website that is dedicated entirely to the many aspects of musicianship, creative songwriting, performance and the love of all things musical!

If you are a musician or simply interested in the playing and performing side of this audio art form, this site will appeal to you.

What's Here

Here is a place where an old musician can get to write his heart out about the musical meanderings of his particular speciality.

For this is indeed an art form, that is as much enjoyed by the player as by the listener. What better thing to do for someone who creates such enjoyment for the listener to behold, than to write a journal all about the wonders of this great gift of music.

I'll be talking about the musical instruments that I play, the types of music that I play, the bands that I have been in and the bands that I'm in now as well as the solo work I have done in my time.

There will be articles about music in general and stories about life and times of the musicians I've had the pleasure to share a stage with and some that were not such a pleasure. There will be tales of fun and misery, of people I've met along the way and those that have enriched my life and experiences.

Of course, the whole theme that will run through all of the writings, musings, ramblings and scribblings will be that of music! So enjoy...

Performing Musicians

One of the most exciting aspects of being a musician is being able to perform live in front of an audience. There are many bands that you probably never hear about that are working regularly at bars, clubs, parties etc.

These folks have spent countless hours practising, learning, rehearsing and perfecting their art. To be able to provide an audience, no matter how large or how small, with an entertaining rendition of songs of their choice and often chosen by members of that audience.

Many performers like me also write our own material (songs) and get the chance to perform them to people that would never get the chance to hear them anywhere else. This is, in my own mind, the pinnacle of musical performance for any player or singer.

So there's a taste of the general leaning of this site's author and a hint of what's inside here. Come take a look!
