I can play three instruments, but not well enough to be a professional musician (ignoring the saxophone, but i don't relish becoming a jazz muso). Thus i can write music digitally which is off quite a high quality, which i can't play (trying to remain humble, but some of the Pseudo-Heavy Metal Guitar work is pretty well written). <BR/><BR/>Anyway, i'm looking, once high school is over to get into the music industry in some way (if a career in law falls through :D), and this blog has opened my eyes to what is out there that i didn't know. <BR/><BR/>If you feel like hearing any of the music feel free to give us an email, i'd love to hear lyrics put to my works.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely<BR/>RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11080491672951087603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11116467.post-4213100964012815202008-03-30T22:25:00.000-07:002008-03-30T22:25:00.000-07:00RENZ: Thanks very much for reading, and leaving su...RENZ: Thanks very much for reading, and leaving such a lovely note!<BR/><BR/>LANCE: I'm so glad my words are helpful - most of the time I'm just wandering in the dark, trying not to bump into the furniture.<BR/><BR/>RANDY: nice to meet you - hope you pop back to see my comment. It is difficult to market lyrics alone. I recommend finding a co-writer or co-writers who will write music. Be nice if they can also sing/play/record. Where to look? Open mics in St Stephen? Local events with live music in your genre? And on-line. Places like Just Plain Folks - www.justplanfolks.org - are a great place to go and get/give feedback, 'meet' other songwriters, get info on the industry, and find collaborators.Vikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067845590374906879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11116467.post-39368200042787781202008-03-26T10:45:00.000-07:002008-03-26T10:45:00.000-07:00Hi Vikki, I don't know just how to feel right now...Hi Vikki,<BR/><BR/> I don't know just how to feel right now! That is a great post, you are a gifted writer.<BR/><BR/> I guess I am just one of those lost soles, I have written a couple of songs (lyrics only) that have been sitting in my desk for years.<BR/><BR/> I am 52 years old, probably (in my mind) too old to learn too much new, especially how to sing and play an instrument.<BR/><BR/> I have never really aspired to become a song writer, however, I do like to jot down what comes to me now and then.<BR/><BR/> Having said that, I havn't found any information on exactly what to do with song lyrics. Should one try to find someone to put them to music and record them or keep trying to find somewhere to submit them (I don't believe Taxi accepts lyrics)?<BR/><BR/> Anyway, you are an inspiration and I wish you continued success.<BR/><BR/>Randy Justason<BR/>St Stephen, New BrunswickRandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163458535435793833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11116467.post-54161832657022942312007-09-17T18:36:00.000-07:002007-09-17T18:36:00.000-07:00I have to say it again - you're an inspiration.
