| Article Title :: Taking Care of your Soul mate: Useful Piano Care Tips |
| |
|
Your piano is your soul mate. Once you start playing it, you two
are hopelessly entwined, enjoying a world of your own, mindless
of what goes on outside your world. It is therefore absolutely
important that you take care of your piano properly.
Taking care of your piano does not only entail having it tuned
up every two to five years. It would also appreciate a daily
maintenance from the owner himself. What good would it do to a
piano if it would just be left at one corner of the house,
untouched for sometime? Absolutely nothing, and it would just
gather dust and rust.
One of the best ways to maintain its good condition is to play
it often. Just like a human being, this piece of entertain (read full article) |

Ringtones Provide Fashion Statement for Women
By Bob Bentz Ringingphone.com
When it comes to ringtones, the battle of the sexes continues.
While ringtones are universally popular with both males and
females, females tend to purchase them more, according to a
recent study by M:Metrics.
The measurement firm reports that 11.6 million American females
downloaded a ringtone in August compared to 9.9 million American
males. There's also a difference in the genre of music that the
sexes prefer. Females purchased 66% of the pop ringtones sold
and 65% of the country ringtones sold. Not surprisingly, males
dominate in the testosterone-laden world of heavy metal and hard
rock ringtones where males (read full article) |

| Article Title :: SO, YOU WANNA BE A ROCK N' ROLL STAR--ling? |
| |
|
Rock n' Roll has become somewhat of a generic term used to
identify a wide variety of popular music today. Like many other
things associated with this generation, it has been reduced to
an almost pathetic state of relativism, but it wasn't always so.
When Rock'n Roll was born, it offered up a fresh new sound that
was radical and different. Rockers such as Little Richard, Buddy
Holly, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley and the Comets,
and Elvis, among others, burst onto the scene in such a way that
audiences were amazed, some were shocked and others were
absolutely appalled. However, most of us can now look back in
hindsight and recognize the important influence these early
artists ha (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The 60's in Retrospect |
| |
|
Well, this past week was definitely a "journey through the past"
for many of us who watched the PBS specials featuring highlights
from the 60's. Kicking off with "No Direction Home", a
documentary about Bob Dylan, helped set the scene for
what was to come. Rare glimpses into the life and times of this
private and self-effacing man were a special treat for me.
Joan Baez made the comment that "it goes down real deep"
for those of us who are fans of Dylan. This is very true and
sometimes hard to explain to others who don't share the
sentiment. But, one thing is certain, as musicians and
songwriters, we can all learn something from him. What stands
out most prominently about Bob D (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Self Home Recording vs Paying a Recording Studio |
| |
|
Back in the old days (around 'Nam) recording at home was a new
miracle. You could actually hit record on a device and capture
sound in your own home. Your eyes would light up just like
Thomas Edison did when he first invented audio recording. Fast
forward to 2005. It's now completely affordable to outfit a
fully functional recording rig in your home for the price of a
high quality, American made guitar. While the price of getting
into home recording is much cheaper than it has ever been
before, it's still a lot of money. Is setting up a small studio
worth the price? What are the pitfalls of trying to record
yourself? Would you be better off just paying a professional
recording studio to do (read full article) |

Do you have a favourite guitar solo? You know, one that sends a
cold chill down the back of your neck? One, that for some
unknown reason seems to fit the song so perfectly that you
couldn't imagine any other guitar solo being played in that
song? I bet you have a few you could mention. I'm going to list
five all time classic solos that influenced me when I was
starting out. See what you think.
Something by George Harrison - A beautiful solo for a beautiful
song. I heard a story that the final solo used on the Abbey Road
album was actually a mix of a few solos George had recorded.
There is no doubting that he excelled himself on this song. It
just goes to show that sometimes the simplest of (read full article) |

The MP3 is a complete godsend for anyone who enjoys and
appreciates good music. Not only does it afford users the
convenience of purchasing music online and ripping from
purchased CDs, it also provides the utmost ease in portability.
There are more MP3 players on the market than I can name. These
players allow you to download hundreds and in some cases
thousands of MP3's to take along with you anywhere. I create MP3
CD's containing up to 120 of my favorite songs for my listening
pleasure in my car. But how can so many audio files get stored
on my 800MB (Megabyte) CD?
MP3 Encoders and MP3 converters are the software that creates
MP3s by using an MP3 compression and decompression algorithm. (read full article) |
