One of my hobbies is playing the guitar, and I've been at it on and off again for about 10 years. Here's a gorgeous firery semi-hollow e-guitar in watercolor, great for #blues, #jazz, #rocknroll, but also to WEAR, HANG, COLLECT 😉

And I don’t even presume they are doing it as a pretext to hitting on me (usually if they’re going to do that, they just feign interest in my music, sadly). I think it’s mostly about assuming women are more willing to help them achieve their goals even if said woman is not their mother, girlfriend, or wife. 🙄

Do you use some kind of band management software?
If no: why not?
If yes: which one? Is there anything that could be done better?
I'm looking for a new #webDev project. I would really like to build a #fullStack web application that doesn't just reinvent the wheel. Probably going #openSource.

Musician hive mind: I'm thinking of finally purchasing a wireless clip-on mic for my trumpet. But I don't know anything about mics. Not a goddamn thing. So, here's my question.
1) I hear that this mic is a pretty good budget clip-on for brass instruments. If I purchase this, is there anything else I have to buy? Like a transmitter or something? I don't have the first clue on setting up wireless mics, and I've been burned by purchasing equipment only to find out I need more equipment to make it work: https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/shure-beta-98h-c-clip-on-condenser-microphone?rNtt=shure%20wireless%20clip%20on%20mic&index=1
2) Is it worth it to purchase a clip on mic for a trumpet anyway? Most of the professional bands I've seen recently use it, but I've also heard it has downsides (e.g., picking up noise when clearing air valve), and I know Trombone Shorty doesn't use clip-ons in live performances.

Excellent 🤩 rundown on #music & #labour history and the legal and historical barriers that make it’s so hard for #musicians to organize for better pay
One law after another, nope, nope, nope — they say you don’t get the money 🧐
And the sneakiest laws say you’re not allowed to work together for change! 🤨

Once or twice a month, I listen to a bunch of fellow #independent #musicians and write up little descriptions of their work to help fans find their work, so I am (possibly) a good follow if you are either a musician, or a #MusicFan who is looking for #NewMusic!
(2/2)
…and envious because there are times when I would dearly like to be free of these inhibitions and brag and bang the drum just a little bit more (and of course because there's nothing to write about).
So what I'd really like to know… how do other #musicians feel about it? Does self promotion come easy to you? Is it a necessary evil? Does it repulse you, and if yes, how do you handle it? How much is too much?
I'd love to hear some of your insights.
I realize that I still very much struggle with the concept of self promotion.
Sometimes I read posts of #musicians going like "hey folks, here's what dozens of people have written about my last album, and oh btw NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!!!"… and then I realize that I feel equal parts awkward and envious.
Awkward because I was brought up to consider modesty an important virtue… and even if someone had written something about my last album, it just wouldn't feel right to me to peddle it.
(cont'd)
I've been talking to a few musicians who didn't know that they can put their music on Bandcamp, free. And anyone can listen free if you set it up that way.

Having said that, I am probably gonna toot about it maybe once a day! haha! Sorry, fam, I'm just trying to get the word out!
Since leaving twitter, I have found "promoting",(uugh!), a bit tougher. If anyone has any suggestions where I should post/submit the Album pre-order, I'm really interested and open to suggestions.
It is a #BandCamp only release.
Much Love!

The Eddie Van Halen I knew, by Gene Simmons

Think what you want about Michael Jackson, but he made really good songs. Some of them (see below) bring up important stuff that are still accurate to this day.
Earth Song: https://piped.video/watch?v=XAi3VTSdTxU
Heal the World: https://piped.video/watch?v=BWf-eARnf6U
Many might not agree with me, but Michael was a true music mastermind/genius! ❤️ And his music videos - masterpieces! Just look at Ghost[1], almost 40 minutes long where he plays 2 parts!
Having an awful year, financially. Been on the knife's edge for the past three years, doing what I can to stop from tumbling into the void, and now I have unexpected costs mounting and incoming.
It's all f**ked, basically.
In this light, I am considering putting prices on my #BandCamp releases.
I have tried to avoid monetization, (because I did not want money to be the motivator), but I got to find new revenue streams anywhere I can.

This one might be a little long, but it's about Tom Petty, so it's okay.
At this specific end part of Tom's VH1 Storytellers from 1999 that I'm linking below, he's fingerpicking the guitar (granted, he's just going back and forth between two chords) but he's also simultaneously telling a story and joking (there's a dirty spot in there) and then the band breaks into this beautiful song..
I saw this when it came out in 1999, I was 19, and it kind of musically... broke me. I'd been playing about 6 years at that point, and this dude is BEYOND talented. Sure, he was an older adult already and I was 19, but NOW, I've been playing music 30 years this year, and I still can't do this, the fingerpicking, talking, singing, STILL blows my mind. I just watched this, at 43 and it still gives me chills.

Side story: I got the chance to see Tom years later, live-- I went by myself, too, because at the time, I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go with me. But it was one of those big places, with the lawn, and general admission SUCKED, of course. The seats, you basically have to watch the huge screens of the artist, like you're watching it on TV, and you can't see much.
But I figured out at the little food area, there was this spot you could stand that was RIGHT next to the side of the stage, and man, I stood there for the WHOLE show. Just SO close to Tom. I could see everything the band was doing up close. Legendary. There haven't been many shows I've seen that were THAT good. Just absolutely effortless performers, every single one of those dudes.
They played EVERY song you could think of, too. Every big hit but Refugee and more. Whew. Chills.
I'm not a religious guy, but if there's a heaven, Tom is there. You can never really tell how decent a person is, or a celebrity, but some things speak a lot. What lead singer/songwriter has their regular backing band agree to play on their solo albums too? Well, Tom did.
RIP, legend.

Any #Blind #Musicians know of a course that will teach me how to play the #Piano? I bought a keyboard sure, and I love it a lot, but I want to do more than just play around on it, I actually want to make my own Music, but I gotta learn from Scratch how to play the Piano. now, I know music theory and I played the French Horn for many years, but Piano is a completely different instrument. Any ideas?
Oh wow, right after I joined my first remix challenge on Metapop, the site is shutting down. What a shame, I was really looking forward to doing this again.

Are there any other similar communities, other than https://musicweeklieschallenge.com? I don't really care about prizes, I'm more interested in the challenges and the community aspect.
