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.
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.
I strummed the guitar with a penny because I didn't have a pick.
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.
