My best friend is a music buff and has been like that for years. He is a great fan of Alicia Keys and talks about her to his family and friends all the time. He was looking for an Alicia Keys biography and asked me if I had any knowledge of such websites.  I told him that I had information on numerous websites that he could log on that told everything about Alicia Keys. Needless to say, my friend was thrilled about it and was full of gratitude.

My cousin, Janet has been an ardent fan of Madonna for the last 5 years. She has a bunch of CD’s on her favorite singer and actress. As a matter of fact, she has seen ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ featuring Madonna several times.

There are a few bands out there that love to play local shows, and they really are not concerned about much else. However, many of them have a dream of getting record deals, even when they know that dream is probably a bit unrealistic. Today, these deals are not what they once were, as some bands break out on their own online, and then they are offered something if a company believes they have some staying power. If you are looking for a record deal, keep these things in mind.
Age is a factor when it comes to record deals, though there are always exceptions. A band must put a lot of time and energy into recording, touring, and making other public appearances.

Last Christmas, instead of getting normal greeting cards for all of my relatives, I got everyone free animated musical ecards. I sent my grandfather one with his favorite folk song - “Man of Constant Sorrow” - and a little animation of a guy playing banjo on the porch.

Walking down the street the other day, I actually heard hip hop ring tones on some teenager’s phone who I was passing. Although the kid with the hip hop music on her phone probably took it for granted, few people realize the humble origins of rap. Basically, it started with people just spinning records. The great thing about rap music in general is that you can do it over anything. All you need is a beat, a tune, and a topic. Djs would layer track after track as emcees would freestyle over it with lyrics that they made up on the spot. Although a lot of the work is done in the studios nowadays, and the music is pretty processed, there is still quite a bit of improvising going on in it.

One of the great things about starting on the classical guitar was that it allowed me to practice a lot more than I would have been able to otherwise. When you are first starting out on an acoustic guitar, the strings really bite into your fingers. Because classical guitars use nylon strings, they don’t really have this problem. You can play with ease even as a beginner. This makes it much less frustrating during the first few weeks.
Eventually I discovered that I was playing classic guitar music, but by then I was too into it to care. It really was a beautiful instrument, and I was loving the stuff that I was being shown.
