Choosing songs correctly is one of the key ingredients to a good musical act. If you’ve ever watched American Idol (oh, go on, admit it: you have, from time to time), you know that song choice can make or break you. Choose the right song, and you can ride the wave for months, or even years; choose the wrong tune, and…well, it might be the last song you ever sing.
Oh, not really. But song choice is still important. 
I’m a fan of the local music scene here in Denver (and independent artists in general), and I have several local bands and artists on my ipod, and usually at least a couple of times a day a local act will come up when my ipod is on “shuffle.” So I thought it might be cool to let you know when I’m listening to your stuff.
One of my all-time favorite movies is Mr. Holland’s Opus starring Richard Dreyfuss. Please take a few minutes to watch the video clip below. It’s not necessarily the easiest thing to watch, but there’s something Mr. Holland says to the principal that really sums up my personal passion for the arts, why they are important, and why they need to be taught and nurtured.
Here’s the problem: if I tell you how long I’ve been involved with music, it will give away my age. But if I lie and tell you how young I am, you won’t believe I know what I’m talking about.
So let’s just skip that part.
Anyhow…hi, there! If you’re an independent musician, or even if you just like music in general, this blog is (hopefully going to be) just what the doctor ordered. Let me tell you why.
