PLAYING the music for the masses.

That's what I do too.Talking on air is definitely much less stressful than singing on a stage.
I can sing,and let's say if someone would point a gun at me,I'd go out and perform in front of people.Actually...I think I would do that without the threat..LOL

I'd sure buy a CD with our MR artists.Some talented people here. Great idea!

I'm the "Friga" of my band, who just got started out.... we're called The Microwaves. I do the bulk of the lyrics, rhythm guitar, keyboards, and BG vocals.

We're bringing sexy Melodic Rock back.

Hi All,

I sing, write all the music and lyrics and play rythmn guitar on the cd.

My main influence is John Mellencamp so the music is acoustic guitar based. I have a bunch of great new material for a new cd but I have been pretty inactive lately so I haven't recorded. There's always tomorrow though!

Eric, I really like JM and can hear the influence. Good stuff!

Song / myspace link, please....

HELL YEAH ~ so are we!!

MelRock CD ~ "Git 'er done!!" (can't believe I just typed that... )

[ProgRocker53]

Just started out means just that... we don't have a MySpace or any recordings yet, we've only had one jam together! Come on!

The plan is to play hard progressive rock with melodic flair.... the three main influences the whole band shares are Rush, Dream Theater, and Journey.

Acoustic you say?, gonna have to check your sound out.
Anything like Ed Roberston solo acoustics from BNL?
Love that dude's work.

Edited to add............
Just checked out two of the songs you have posted in the link.
Good stuff, nice sound and your voice is calming, good work.
Can I buy this in a store?, ordering online is not an option for me.

[Lady Luck]

I will put out a CD of jokes, put downs, rants, impressions and "go off's"if that's what y'all want.

Impressions...

His Neal impression is mighty good.

So's his Ross impression, and we can't forget his Friga impression...

[Michael Leigh]

dude you have the ultimate party band,, great playing and singing !! best fun in town...

Thanks Larry.Make sure you come up and say Hi, at one of our shows!!

[Greg]

Well, I have never been in a band and have always wanted to. I have been trying to teach myself guitar (very slow going though,) but I do sing, but I'm not a trained singer. The last time I performed in front of people (besides my church) they compared me to Dennis DeYoung with a country accent...lol!

[Just_Plain_Eric]

Moon Beam,

Unfortunately its only online Im on I-tunes if that's an option though. Thanks for the compliments folks!

I play guitar...Nothing fancy and I'm not all that good but I can at least make some noise if I want to.

[jrnychick]

I am tone deaf. I couldn't find the right key if you dangled it in front of my face! I don't play any instruments either. My daughter plays guitar, and she was better than me after her first half-hour lesson! She's been playing for about 9 months now, and she's dying to get an electric! I told her that she has to practice every day for several months without complaining and she can have it. She doesn't like to practice much, so I think I have time to save!

I started out playing guitar and singing in a folk trio. took up the flute and studied classical flute and voice (opera--YIKES!!) up until '92. my degree is in flute and I am also a certified public school educator-band, orchestra, music and choir, K-12. my "band" is the 1st Baptist Church orchestra. we are televised every Sunday morning. I'm on alto flute this Sunday! cool! I play in the municipal band in the summers every Sunday on the bay in Corpus Christi-show tunes, movies themes, marches, POLKAS!!!, band music, etc.

I played guitar and sang in a Christian rock band in college. we recorded but it fizzled. I spent many many days on the road with one touring group or another in high school and college.

our flute choir will be in studio this coming Sunday in fact. more on that later.

I am putting together an inspirational cd of flute music for my mom.

my 4 daughters and I are working up something. we will record next year sometime.

underneath this conservative facade I'm freakin LITA FORD!! hehe. can't quit my day job, eh?

fun topic. who else?

I absolutely LOVE the flute. I've been thinking about taking lessons.

Me, I'm not really a musician, though I sang and played keys in a band just out of highschool.
That ended when I went to college in London, where I starting going out to nightclubs. I became fascinated with Djing.
When I came back home to SF, with a great record collection, I learned how to DJ, (no it's not just playing records).
So I spent many years traveling around DJing in nightclubs and at huge events, sometimes in the middle of corn fields or deserts or even parking lots. I moved to New York City and started producing and remixing. My records sold well in Europe, so I spent some time DJing over there. I also managed a recording studio, learned my way around a studio, and made my living as a studio and live engineer's assistant.

I know most of you hate club music, but DJing for thousands of people in different countries was the most incredible experience. One time, I played for a crowd of 50,000. Mind-Blowing!!!

Love it enough to play it about 5 times a day for 50 minutes at a time?

I have an undergraduate degree in Music Engineering, have a great ear, but can't really play many instruments. Kinda like a coach who knows a hell of a lot but can't play! I'm learning to play the guitar now, though. Not really that easy. I commend anyone who can play it. And it makes them sexy!!!

You rock, Liam. I've heard alot of guitar players and you're really talented. So, why don't you have any recordings?

Thank you. I don't have the equipment for recording it...NOR the cash to get it right now.

I was actually working on a skit where you have Neal Schon, Bill Clinton and Mike Tyson all sitting down talking over coffee.

I love your Neal impression but those guys sitting down talking over coffee should be pretty is amusing in itself.

Cool Debbie! That's what my daughter wants to play next year in middle school. I think I will encourage that over the clarinet.

[Playitloudforme]

I've sung on stage before 2000 people, but that was theater. Not with a 'band'. Nerve wracking to sing solo (at least it was for me). MOVING and singing at the same time is hella hard. Doing a full on dance at the same time as belting out a song, damn near impossible unless you really train.

[giosi]

I play guitar...but haven't had much time lately to pick it up and mess around with some tunes.

Both of my daughters started playing flute in middle school. One continued with it through high school marching band the other decided to stick with her earlier choice of piano and gave up the flute. I loved going to the marching band competitions and the flutes definitely stand out from the pack more so than the clarinets.
