Story

Music addict, love playing guitar ! Electric or acoustic. I enjoy having friends that turn me on to new music. Retired and would like to jam with people now and then. I would enjoy helping someone create an album. I hope to create an album comprised of rock, progressive rock, classical, blues , folk, blue grass. Not interested in joining a band due to health issues, hopefully that will change !

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

The reality is that a happy musician plays because it makes them happy. Earning money as a musician is difficult because most people will spend 2 dollars for a cup of their favorite coffee on a daily basis and never buy a cd or download a 90 cent music track. Buying a track or an album should me much easier than it is at all the major sites. As it is now you have all the passwords, codes , pc platforms download errors, cd burning errors etc. I miss the vinyl days and the simplicity of recording cassettes and playing them in the car. I don't miss the scratches on the discs LOL-cd's get messed up too ! My I phone with blue tooth on has been my most often used listening tool.

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

They should play music people love and engage their fans.
