What a Y E A R it's been.

So I've had a lot of posts lately about progress...and I am hoping other new artists can see this as a marking point... like if you do this ____ you'll get this ______ in this amount of time _____.

After all, a big part of this blog is for other people going down this same crazy path.

STORY TIME: One year ago I was just learning how to play guitar really .... I went to a party at my friends house. All of the members of our school's comedy improv team were hanging out along with some of their friends. My friend Zach raved that I was a singer, and had a good sound. I strummed on someone's guitar a bit, but really was not too great at the time... This night was one of those one's I'll sort of always remember.

I strummed the guitar with a penny because I didn't have a pick.
Some of the more business savvy people in the room sat me down and gave me advice on all of things I should do to use the internet to boost my career in music. Music used to only be sold in stores-hard copies- and you needed to be signed, to have your music heard. With the internet as it is now, that is no longer true- you can make yourself be heard.

They went on and on. I didn't even know what Twitter was, and they raved. I was so stubborn not to go back to Myspace ( i thought it was soo middleschool....) but they assured me it was true that it is no longer the coolest social network but it is for music.

Well It's been a year, so i thought i would re count my progress based solely on my personal activeness on the internet and it's results over the past ONE YEAR.
