Its known that when a guy can play the guitar girls flock to him. It is the same way when a girl can play a guitar or piano? i.e. Norah Jones, Alisha Keys, Jewel, Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, etc.

Is it a turn on for you guys out there?

I don't know about guitars but let me go on record as saying that I am opposed to violins against women. [Wink]

Who are you trying to pick up? Aren't you a musician? I certainly don't mind a girl who can play an instrument or two. A girl who can sing well is kind of nice too. I wouldn't go so far to say it's a huge gigantic turn on, though. And it's certainly not a turn-off.

Artistic talent is always a turn on

Girls that play guitars? Sure. Works for me. I think I have a Lita Ford poster rolled up with my childhood collection of rock band posters. Still, my favorite rock album poster of all time is the nude ladies bicycle race poster from the Queen album "Jazz." Shit. What can I say? I'm a guy.

No Jp, it doesn't matter. Girls are just shallow, that is why they like guys with guitars.
 
Posted by Greg Mueller (Member # 17) on 02-09-2004, 10:08 PM:
 
I wonder if it's an attraction because they are a musician or it's some "star" attraction thing.
Personally it's not a matter of musicianship, but it's that they have the right "magnetism" or not, for me.
That said, perhaps it's their "magnetism" the gets them on the stage in the first place and then that magnetism attracts their "groupies" male or female.
I'm thinking that there are a lot of great musicians out there who never made it because they didn't have the right pizzazz. And maybe some that make it not because they are technically great musicians but because the have an abundance of attractiveness.

Well, I guess us girls are just shallow... I would walk down the high school hall ways and guys with guitars just made us want to know their name.
At the high school talent show there were some really good female musicians that could sing also. I never stayed after the show to see if the guys did flock.

I remember back when I was a little bastard and all my friends said "OMG OMG OMFG Lita Ford is sooo hot she plays guitar and heavy metal and she is fine!!!!". I finally saw her and my reaction was "eh?". She isn't attractive to me. Pat Benatar used to be pretty damn cute, and I even thought that when I was 8 or 2 or however the hell old I was. I used to think the chick from "Blondie" was good looking... at least I think I did. Hard to remember. The Go-Go's had one cute chick. Or was that the Bengals? I think it was The Bengals. Damn it I am losing my mind.

I never got none when I paraded around with my electric guitar. But maybe that was because instead of "magnetic" I was "contageous". Nah. My current musical abilities don't seem to help either. But again I don't go around announcing them and/or showing them off. Adam Martin is my biggest fan, though.

Why? The guitar is an instrument for girls. Real men play the bass.

Seriously now, boys do look for specific talents in girls. Specifically, they look for exactly that shallowness - which could be described as a negative or inversed talent - because it makes it much easier for them to impress these girls and get them to go to bed with them.

The classical music industry also tried to sell using sex when CD sales went into freefall in the early '90s. You suddenly started seeing pics of various soloists and opera stars on the the exact same discs which six months previously had come with some tasteful c18 old master on the sleeve. Dunno if it worked...

I think people are attracted to the gender of musician that they're attracted to in general. Someone attracted to guys will probably be attracted to male musicians and and people attracted to girls will probably be attracted to female musicians.

Replace musician with actor and the same would probably hold.

That`s OK, the picture actually shows me demonstrating my "Ivan the Terrible" look (which I learned from Eisenstein`s movie), but it was the only one of me with my bass I had readily available on my computer.
 
Posted by Jason Burroughs (Member # 68) on 02-10-2004, 01:55 PM:
 
I think that the attraction is somewhat more than just based on talent. Certainly the popularity of that person (musician, actor etc) plays into it. Also it doesn't supprise me that women, especially young ones, fawn over those that can play various instruments (guitar, drums etc) because of the bad boy image they typically have.

IMHO, the bad boy image is probably the basis for the large majority of the attraction for women. They will throw themselves at those in hopes to gain their attention, and in their mind affection.

On the other hand, a female musician usually gains respect, not attraction and lust (based on music ability alone). A male musician that has a reputation for treating women like crap, and look like crap, will still have to fight the groupies off with a stick. Gene Simmons who claims to have beded over a thousand women still has thousands more who would gladly join the long and undistinguished list.

This is EXACTLY WHY a great deal of popular music SUCKS today. Great musical talent and great looks are rarely ever carried in the same person. We just have a lot of pretty people singing the same old, tired shit. Most of it all sounds the same, and doesn't sound very good in the first place.

In some respects, album oriented rock still allows ugly-yet-talented people to gain success. This is also the ONLY GENRE in popular music where "classic" tunes 20 or 30 years old or older are being played. Still, someone like Bob Dylan would have a much harder time if he was a young musician starting a career today. Good looks were not important before the age of music video.

For the country and "pop" (or rather gun-toting rap scumbag criminal wannabe music), you pretty much have to look like a porn star to get anywhere. This is especially true for country music these days. Guys like Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash would have absolutely no chance for success if they were young guys trying to break into the industry. The country music genre, as it currently exists, is by far the most shallow and derivative form of popular music being sold today.

Jen,..creative people are a turn-on, plain and simple. Doesn't matter to me if they're a musician, an artist, a designer, etc. Creative people have more fulfilled lives and that makes them more interesting people and more fun to be with.

But I do have a "thing" for female bass players. I don't know why. Not thrilled with female drummers though.
 
Posted by Jennifer Pan (Member # 2035) on 02-11-2004, 12:23 AM:
 
Thanks Martin... At least someone out there cares... Being creative has a bad rap sometimes... It doesn't fill the void when ever it comes to feelings. I could write songs about it. Expressing it helps times but deep down inside its still a void. [Mad] But hey... I'll just have to deal with it like everyone else...

Looks, possibly, but as for talent... NOOOOOOO!!!!! [Eek!] [Mad] [evil]

My cat, Mogzilla, when conducting a heated territory argument with next door's ginger tom, sounds more tuneful.

One of the last films I showed before leaving the cinema business was Dancer in the Dark. As mentioned in another thread I don't support the death penalty. But for Björk I make an exception. Nor am I alone - duty managers and floor staff would congregate at the back of the auditorium four times a day for the privilege of seeing her dangling at the end of a rope!

Carl: I've been playing the guitar and piano alot lately, but I started out with the drums in my first band. Then in my second band I played the quitar and sang lead vocals. I've tested the waters of playing bass guitar, if I actually had a bass I would play it all the time. Since I don't I just use my electric guitar and distort it to make it sound as close as possible to an electric bass. I played the violin back in middle school, that was really fun. But had to quit when I moved to Texas.
I'm currently going solo, finished my first CD(very rough cut) about a year ago. I was working on my second CD but never got the chance to record it. I've got the songs and the layout of the CD down, its just actually doing the hard work or recording over and over again to get it perfect is stressful. I've decided to just start working on my 3rd album, so far I've got about 4 songs in the works.
I've been playing the guitar since 2000
The drums since 1999
The piano off and on since 1998
I'm one of those people who just makes stuff off the top of their head. I never liked playing stuff that was already out there. I would try to put my own style into everything I do. I never write down my music, I always try to do it off of memory. It's one of those things were the music can always change. There's always room for improvement.

Oh, and thanks for giving away the end of the movie, LEO! [Razz]

Rocker chicks are awesome! They have this rugged beauty about them. I still wouldn't mind doing the old "in and out" with those two chicks from "Heart!" [thumbsup] Ladies who play classical instruments such as a piano or violin have more of an "elegant" beauty, which I also appreciate. Any sort of artistic talent is great in a person. It's the idle ones you have to watch out for! [Wink]

The photos being posted are interesting. I'm not a Bjork fan, but I do like Tori Amos. The Wilson sisters from Heart are talented, but I notice only the picture of the "skinny blonde one" gets posted.

For every good looking rocker with talent, I'm willing to bet there are at least 10 to 100 (if not more) boasting equal or better talents -but are unable to get into the music business because they don't look good enough.

Most successful yet ugly rockers these days have to kind of slide into position. For instance, I really like the Foo Fighters. But would their kinda ugly frontman, Dave Grohl, have been able to achieve success if he had not already got his foot into the door being the drummer for Nirvana?

That's not always true. This certainly applies for the part of the country in which I live. Being a degreed, professional artist has never been the thing that won me any girlfriends. More often than not, it gets me a one-way ticket to the "friend zone."

Of course, I'm not the kind of guy that women are going to find instantly attractive. So its always that "get to know you" thing, followed by "I don't to do anything to ruin our friendship" bit. Yeah, great. Just another addition to the pool of platonic female friends who call me up asking me shit about why guys do what ever or even tell about their last sexual encounter. Tell that crap to another woman! Aaarrgh!

Female musicians are amazing. Except when you are in a band with one... [Big Grin] SOOO JOKING! www.citybysea.com We've been playing together for quite a long time through different incarnations. And I play bass, both electric and double. Also piano, guitar, cello, viola, mandolin, lap steel... just about anything stringed cept middle eastern instruments and I can keep a "four on the floor" on the drums. [Razz]

I have engineered, produced, regionally for quite a few bands and singer songwriters, done live sound and booked for clubs in the Syracuse area. Played in youth symphony and in bop jazz while in my teens on double bass, played live or in sessions in jazz, classical, rock, folk, country and r&b... but anyway, enough of my cv...

I find myself more attracted to females who are "artfull" albeit musically, art, literature, photography etc... actually I am definitely more attracted to women who are impassioned about what they believe. Just no apathy, please [Wink]

OK, I know that with Björk, people usually either love her music, or loathe it... but she does not always 'scream unintelligible lyrics'! [Razz]
I actually have not seen "Dancer in the Dark" - although, I have listened to 'Selmasongs', which I did like, but I think that 'Vespertine' is still my favorite of her albums.

*****

I play a little clarinet, a little piano/keyboard, and I sing (alto II).
My brother is the well-rounded musician in the family! The instruments he can put to good use: piano / keyboard / organ, guitar (electric, acoustic, classical), electric bass (owns a fretless), drums, banjo, ocarina, voice (tenor II / baritone), and pretty much anything else he has an opportunity to sit down and tinker with for a day or two. He's known at a nearby bar as 'the kid that plays video game music' - from bringing his keyboard with him to their "Open Mike Nite".
At the moment, he's attending college, with a music major, focus on piano. [thumbsup]

Kimberley Dahme of Boston is great. Don and I went to a Boston show in Milwaukee a couple months ago, we didn't even know she was in the group until they started (I'm not the biggest Boston fan - but he is). She played a couple of her own songs also, she is really good!

*************

Copying Gracia.

I play mainly the trumpet (have been playing for 14 years - haven't been into it the last 4, its not even in Wisconsin now but my mom is finally bringing it when she comes to visit this weekend! My Bach baby! [Big Grin] )

Also dabble in piano, keyboard, took drum lessons for 2 years, a little clarinet, tuba, bass (brass instrument that is!), flugle horn [Razz] , and French Horn.

Aging projection techs would be hot if they had a social life and cared about something more than just themselves. Being around too much machinery screws with their head. But its fine if they don't care about a social life, people can live how ever they want to... I just don't think its very attractive to do that to ones self and be perfectly fine about it.

Ya know Aaron, I was totally in disagreement with you about your stance as to removing the Political Forum from Film-Tech...

BUT!!! After reading MOST of the crap there, I now agree with you 100%!

It appears that most, if not all the members…me included, just enjoy blowing out our ass what WE think is "correct".

Moderators, please shut down the Political Forum as it serves NO purpose on a "Techie BBS" but to antagonize and demean people of ALL "persuasions".

I believe the FT rules say that since Mr Hooper crossed the line into a political discussion and he does not have a picture the thread will not move to political arena, it will be closed until he gets a picture.

I have to agree with Phil, this is a lame thread anyway

I'm not saying you should say "this thread was started to prove this point" but you cannot say "you jsut proved my point" when there was no point indicated in any fashion.

If you were to say "I wonder how many people will post to this lame thread." or "I think a lot of people will post to this lame thread", then you can say that your point has been proven.

There is a four letter word that comes to mind, begins with an F ends with an E.

If there is anything worse than the ubiquitous "guitar comparison" (what I call it when the two guitarists, say, lead and bass, face each other and look at each other playing) it's when a non-playing lead singer plays air guitar during a instrumental segment. Err...air guitar. That's something that should be banned altogether.

I do enjoy a girl who can play and sing. And vocal harmonies get me every time. I mean, who DOESN'T like a girl with stacked thirds?

A Female does not necessarily have to have musical talent to be a turn on for me. I am more into thier personality and intelligence more than anything. Which means Beach Bimbo's are not my style. A well proportioned body comes next, ya'know what I mean. And no that does not mean a huge chest. I mean a girl whos hips and breast go well with her over all build as opposed to a out of porportined feamle who has was way oversized ass and a size 5 waist.

Back on track...

Seeing talented female musicians can be a turn-on, sure. Guys like looking at girls. Talented ladies a plus, attractive talented ladies even better. Guys are guys.

Years ago I did lights for The Runaways (where Cherie Currie, Joan Jett, and Lita Ford came from). They were 15 and 16 years old at the time and they were hot. Their act was to BE hot (they succeeded BTW)

The stage crew behaved as they were all underage but we did enjoy the show just the same.

I also think it is possibly a (welcome) novelty to some of us seeing talented female musicians in a male-dominated business. I find a lady who is independent enough to be what she wants to be, and does it, a turn on.

Nice pics, Jennifer!

When my daughter was in junior high school she told me she was going to form a band. How?
"I'll get a group of friends together.
Then we'll get instruments.
Then we'll learn to play them.
And we'll give concerts and cut a CD."

I think the desire started with her enthusiasm for the Ramones, when she and a girlfriend took the Path train to Hoboken to hear them play. They were turned away as underage (the venue served alcohol) but Joey Ramone came out and signed autographs for them and spent time chatting with them. (He was gone from this world before she was able to hear him in person, I think.)

Darned if she didn't get a bass guitar, learn to play it in Texas, and two years after college graduation, go touring with a gal singer and four guys in a van, giving concerts in Nashville, New Orleans and Boston, with gigs inbetween, playing both bass and regular guitar.

And she long ago left her three child-size violins in our attic.

Wow! What a thread. I had to go back to your original post to see what the original question was.

I live in the Far East in Japan and every Sunday morning they have musical talent shows for young people on TV. These are the commercial networks and not only the "PBS type". On these shows young people who have written their own music are allowed to come on and show their stuff. There is no competition and no scores are given. No glitz and no fanfare just a very respectable venue.

What always amazed me was that over 90% of these young people are female and they are extraordinarily good at what they do. It may have something to do with females being better at math (and music is mathmatical). Either that or the boys have their minds on baseball. Ages run from about 7 to early twenties. You can tell these young performers were not forced against their will and took up music for the sheer love of it. Their determination and dedication shows through all the way and it is just amazing in my eyes.

To answer your question, yes, I think it is a turn on to see a woman put her heart and soul into something, especially music. It is the concentration part that is most mesmerizing. That she also is attractive is just an added plus and not a requirement.

What I love the most? Female on country fiddle. Don't know why it just happens that way.

BTW you took alot of heat in this thread as it wandered all over the place. Hope you don't let it get to you. At least you got to know some of these people on FT a little better.

Good luck in your musical endeavors.

Who said anything about Hilary Duff playing an instrument? She is a VOCALIST, period. Vocalists are musicians, however.

Well, I have a few more to add to my list.

Ashlee Simpson - Totally hot and she isn't pop like her sister...I like that..

Amy Lee (Evanescence)- Kinda Hot, but she has the most AMAZING voice for a rocker..

Charlotte Church....Yes, I listen to Opera too..at 17, she is a total turn on

Sara Evans- Country Singer....something about brunettes gets me. This woman is in her 30's and STILL looking gorgeous!!!

Finally

Sheryl Crow- need I say more? [thumbsup] [Big Grin] [Eek!] [Cool]

I've been a big fan of Kathy Fisher (from the band Fisher) for a while now. I'd wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone following the Amy Lee/Evanescence thing; but I consider Fisher to be more originators of that vibe (though more heavy on the piano ballad) ... they just haven't hit it "big" yet.

Kathy's lush, throaty voice is just mesmerizing; and she's gorgeous, too! Married, but gorgeous. Still a turn-on, though.

Back to the "musician" aspect ...

 -

Are male musicians REALLY a turn-on for gals? Jen mentions in the first post that girls "flock" to the guitar-playing guys ... but like I mentioned, I've yet to see it! If you ladies were to see THIS in a guy's room, would you be impressed, turned on, or would you run away? [Razz] (*Note the recently acquired Korg Triton Le-88! [Cool] ... okay, you caught me. This is just my excuse to show it off.) [Roll Eyes]

By the way, Jen ... you've got some tasty pictures on your site that you haven't shared here yet. [Big Grin] (Sorry, but I felt a little left out, being the ONLY male in this forum NOT to hit on you yet.)
 
Posted by Michael Schaffer (Member # 1204) on 09-08-2004, 06:09 AM:
 
I haven't hit on her either, and we even met in person. But she is half my age, and I am not a pervert. Speaking of perverts - 5 guitars in one room [Eek!]
That underlines my earlier statement: only pussies play the guitar. Real guys play the bass.
 
Posted by Steve Kraus (Member # 476) on 09-08-2004, 11:12 AM:
 
Oh but Michael, one definition of pervert is one who does the opposite of the norm. What is the norm here? [Wink]
 
Posted by Jennifer Pan (Member # 2035) on 09-08-2004, 01:43 PM:
 
Brian, there are different types of girls who flock to certain things. I for one, love your room/studio you have going on there. It would be my dream to acquire such mass amounts of music equipment. Only thing I would add to it would be a digital movie editing studio and I'd be in heaven. But that's just a "shallow" girl like me who would flock to musicians. [Wink]

Hmmm... guys hitting on me is usually only on this forum. In real life I'm just another girl. So I guess what I'm saying is that I appreciate any comments you guys give me [Big Grin]

Michael, yes you didn't hit on my when we met. Steve, he's not a pervert in my eyes.

BTW... just recently(today) wrote a new demo "When You Say":

My pussy heads for the hills every time the fan noise from my PC starts up: the decibel output of a guitar would probably give her a heart attack. In any case, I'm sure she'd never contemplate trying to play one! She did once find out through trial and error what happens when paws make contact with piano keys, and was traumatised for about a week afterwards. Given that (from the evidence in the photos) he has five guitars and only one pussy, I now know why Michael is an 'expert cat molester'!

If I owned a bass, Michael, I'd play it ... but it's not really a singer/songwriter's instrument. What, do you think I play music for a LIVING or something? [Smile] No, Regal pays the bills, the music keeps me sane.

I wouldn't say that the having of five guitars (I have two more not pictured, by the way) is what makes me a pervert. The fact that I name them female names might, though. The World Bri'ed GuitARSENAL. [Eek!]

And Jen, I'm glad you like my setup. It's about 10 years in the making, and now it's as complete as it needs to be for a while. Thanks for the flock. [Cool]

Ok... Now that's just too weird for me. I don't know anyone who actually names their instruments. That could be the reason the why girls don't flock. I doubt that's what you are after.

Also, the fact that you actually have a page on your site too. I guess it explains your "madness" (j/k) is beyond me.

I wonder what I could add to me site... but you guys would probably suggest some very explicit things. I try to keep it G rated now-a-days.

Yes, because among the first things I mention to girls when I meet them include "By the way, I've named all my guitars." Obviously. [Wink]

But it's not like I even refer to them by their names regularly. However ... yes, I indeed am weird. [Razz] Never denied that.

Oh, cheap mouth skills jokes aside, I think any appreciation and talent for an instrument is an attractive quality. Singing and vocal skills alone might not quite be enough, because after all, ANYONE can sing along to their favorite CD, regardless of musical training, theory, discipline, appreciation. It's that discipline and appreciation that is that part that's attractive and seductive.

Jazzy trumpet skills are quite nice, for that takes a bit of skill and practice. Guitar skills are just as sexy, because what can be done with fingers is just as intricate and subtle as mouth-muscle control.

I personally take my vocal skills a lot more seriously then I ever took my trumpet skills. For me it was more enjoyable and I put a lot more time and discipline into vocals then any of my other musical talents. True vocalists aren't just singing... Try singing and opera or even gospel, not everyone can do that and sound good no matter how much they try. Just like with intruments, no matter how much practice some people just can't do it. Me with a flute for example...I tried and tried to play but with my trumpet lips I just could never get a noise out of that damn thing!

Doesn't matter though, I let everything slip. [Frown]

Excellent, Jennifer!! I mean it, I think this is your best yet! Very nice intro, too .. the first few very pretty, simple, picked? (I play organ, not guitar.) [Big Grin] bars are a nice touch and an instant hook into the rest of the song. Matter of fact, I'd repeat them somewhere. More than once, if possible .. played simply, the way the song starts out. (I'm not a songwriter, but I can 'feel' I'd like to hear them again somewhere in the song, if that makes sense.) Just a suggestion. [Big Grin] You did good, young Jedi. [thumbsup]

Well, actually that same intro is supposed to be in the second verse after the chorus but it felt weird jumping back into the simple riffs on the 2nd verse. I might do a 2nd recording of the song.
 
Posted by Jeff Akin (Member # 1198) on 09-27-2004, 12:42 PM:
 
Jennifer, I just listened to some of your music. I am a studio musician and am actually on a few records that you might possibly, well, remotely possibly, have a copy of. Remotely in that they are in stores, but nothing too big yet. We mostly do jingles for various businesses.

Anyway, I have read your earlier posts explaining that your songs are self expression and not meant to be hits or be too catchy. As far as that goes, they are great songs. They remind me of Lisa Loeb. Schoolgirl ramblings.

What is your recording set up? Are you singing and playing at the same time? It sounds like you are. Because of this, both are suffering. You sound like you have a beautiful voice, but you are not able to fully concentrate on your singing.

I am really not trying to be mean, or belittle you in any way. I am just trying to offer an honest, and hopefully, helpful opinion.

As others have said, work on developing a hook. And then record the guitar and vox seperately. The final product will be much better for it. You'll also be better prepared for recording in a professional studio.

Keep at it, though. There is very little that is more rewarding than recording your own music.
 
Posted by Jennifer Pan (Member # 2035) on 09-27-2004, 01:48 PM:
 
As a matter of fact I'm going to do some extra track recordings today. Drums and what not at a friend's house who has a better recording set up than I do. I just have a little Mini Disc Mic and recorder.

I'll keep your advice in mind. I've been told several times to do my songs the separate track way. And yeah, I bet it would sound a lot better. Maybe one day I'll actually do recordings that way. But right now I'm more concerned about performing in live audiences. Not that I have or will, I think its a better chance of that happening than me actually getting some sort of recording deal. To be honest I actually tried the seperate track recording of my voice and a guitar last week. I felt so uncomfortable I wanted to shoot myself. I have this problem with improvising songs differently everytime I play it. So actually having a structural composed song and singing to it is not what I'm used to.

Well, I guess I'm in a band now. I have a drummer and I might get a solo guitarist in the mix. But only time will tell if that happens.
 
Posted by Jeff Akin (Member # 1198) on 09-27-2004, 06:18 PM:
 
That's great that you're going to be in a band. Some different perspectives can often really help a piece of music out a lot.

I am primarily a drummer, and I had a tough time adapting to using a click-track at first. Now, I have no idea how I ever made it without using one!

It's all a learning experience. Have fun with it, and good luck. It's a dog eat dog world out there with live gigs. You'll need all the luck you can get.
 
Posted by Jennifer Pan (Member # 2035) on 09-27-2004, 09:01 PM:
 
A little update on the band situation. I now have a bass player and a drummer... and quiet possibly a lead guitarist. Its just dependent on if he gets to record his tracks with my mix.

I had a discussion with my drummer today after practice. We still really need to work on getting the music as a whole together. As in practicing together.

But we did get to accomplish the way I want each song to be played (drum wise). Getting the bass player was the easy thing, although I have yet to hear him play. He says he is able to play to my songs. Its supposedly going to be composed together on different tracks at my drummers house. Which I doubt he will actually finish it... I'll be back to review and add my input on Wednesday. Most likely he won't have the studio ready. I can only hope.

Its actually great for me, because I can just stare at my band mates all day [Big Grin] [Cool] . I was in an all girl band years ago. Not that it wasn't great... but I was just a drummer/backup singer. I had almost no creative input in that band. This new band is... mine... they want to play my songs. As egotistical as that sounds, they came to me wanting to start a band. I just thought about cruising by completely solo and it turns out... people find me.

Hey Jen,
That's usually the case, and when your magnatism is working like this, take advantage and go with it!

I have experienced a few of these, and I can tell you from experience; these moments are rare, and totally worth it!!! [thumbsup]

Good luck!

Erick

Hmmm ... I've never been approached by people wanting to form a band and play my songs. Maybe it's 'cause I'm a guy. Maybe it's 'cause my songs aren't good. Maybe I'd rather not know the real reason. [Big Grin]

Good luck with that, Jen! [thumbsup]

Thanks for the good luck wishes, I'll need them. I will definitely try to take advantage of this band thing. Not everyday that I'll see HOT skater boys playing my songs. [Big Grin] Its already kind of stressful getting the music together.

Brian, everyone is just jealous. That's why no one has approached you and wanted to start a band. You're too good for them. [thumbsup]

Thanks Steve.... [Razz] I will actually need that after college.

Yeah, I think this is really annoying. That "I", (myself) keep posting mp3s here. But here is why I posted this particular one. Now that I have this band thing going, I'll let you all listen to how amazingly horrible I sound. [Smile]

Well, if it would make it less annoying, I could start posting some mp3's, too. In fact, I will. And what better timing ...

Here is a sampler, a medley of track clips from my new album, which I just finished mastering last night. The trip to Kinko's is tomorrow (it's good to have friends on the "inside") and the discs will be pressed to order (burned, anyway). But feel free to drop $10 to my PayPal account, anyway, if you want one as soon as I get a shipping address.

Anyway, Jen, there's nothing so horrible that any healthy dose of practice-practice-practice wouldn't cure. Compared to my early, first attempts at putting my "music" on tape (which nobody will ever hear again!), you guys sound just fine! [Razz] Keep playing, singing, and recording; and as often as you can. For me, it's become an obsession. (I mean, really, this is my sixth full-length album of original stuff I'm shamelessly promoting here.) I'd love to hear what YOU are producing in 10 years (which is how long I've been "honing" with no real formal training).

I wish I could practice more. But lately my drummer has been sick or he's either working or at school. And I left my guitar at his house so I'm left with nothing to do...

Interesting sampler you have there. [Cool]

Well, things are getting better... I was offered to play as an opening act for a local singer/songwriter by the name of Perry Allen in the Phoenix area. The gigs will be in the beginning of Janurary. I'm not sure if I'll be flying solo or if my drummer is going to be accompanying me. It is really dependent on if he can play to my songs by then. Practice, practice, practice...

I guess for those of you who will be in the area at that time can see me play... I'm actually getting nervous about it. The shows will be in small venues, which is nice. Considering I would probably have a panic attack if it was an actual concert. I am very anti-social [Frown] .

Congrats! [beer] Wish I could come. Maybe someone can shoot some video clips?

Yay for anti-social. Let's face it: People suck! [Wink] And not in the good way. [Eek!]

Thanks for the support guys...

Please, stop giving me attention [Smile] .. I know I like it... but I think we've had our fun. Its becoming a little too weird for me now. Not pointing out anyone in particular.

You are ill-prepared to deal with upcoming groupie situations!

As long as you abide the restraining order that keeps you at least 50 yards away...

Dang it, you're drawing attention to me... Stop it.
