| Keep Your Musical Dreams Alive |
You know music is a wonderful world,where would
we be without it ? It can make you happy or sad,
make a memory easier to remember or get you
through some rough times,yes it is part of our
lives.For those starting out the thoughts after
hearing that great song by someone makes you
think God I would love to write a song like
that,and we have all thought that at some point.A
starter or a pro no matter how big a star, loves
to hear their friends and fans give their
approval to something they have done in there
musical offerings.If you are a musician,a solo
artist or in a band,when starting out you will
have the nights where the crowd is very small but
go on, give it your best,I know that it sure
takes alot to stay upbeat but those people that
are there usually want to hear what you are all
about(you never know who is listening).Now this
brings me to how did you get to perform at this
venue in the first place.Well,if you are
unknown,it's hard to perform all your own music
so no doubt you can only sneak a few of your own
tunes in, the rest will have to be cover
songs,this is where you will get your experience
of the world of performing for live
audience's.When you get that "big gig" know your
stuff, have it together, look good or the part,
it all helps but it's your own music that will
count in the end.Now on the internet there is so
much music and different types.There are hundreds
of sites where you can put your songs for people
to listen to or download,this is a great
start.Eveyone needs a base and depending how far
you want to take your musical career,it sure is a
great way to start.If your starting out get those
photo's and bio's and songs recorded and put them
out there,people love to hear and see what you
are all about.The world of music for
singers,bands,songwriters is not an easy
one,there
are many roadblocks,ups and downs.We all would
love to write great songs and be the next super
star on a major label,but in reality only a few
will get that far
and have their music remembered forever.It
doesn't matter as long as your happy and touch
some others with your songs,the old saying a big
fish in a small pond.We all have our ponds and
dreams,ever been to a house party or at a beach
party,boy when the guitar or guitars come out
it's surprising the songs you will remember words
to and the fun you always have.You need a fan
base,someone who will listen and in my thinking
what better way then using the internet to it's
full extent.The musicians you will meet old and
new have some super music out there and they all
have the same thing in common,"music".Small town,
Big city,the world of music has no bounds,work
hard and you will see the value.Don't give up
your dreams,we are listening.
