A Musical Opinion

Wish List for the New Millennium in Local Music

Musicians

If you are an opening act, recognize and mention the band you are opening for at the end of your set. Everyone will get along that much better.

If you are the headlining band, recognize and mention the opening act – they will appreciate it.

New bands: learn what a "sound check" really is. Everyone does not need to be onstage at the same time. Check one instrument at a time (at the soundman’s request), then run through half of a song. Short sound check = happy gig.

There’s always someone better than you, or worse than you, or at the very least different from you.

Club owners

Since you say you support local music, try booking local bands to open for national or even regional acts. Those national acts were local bands at one time, too.

Hire competent soundmen. Even if you just opened and funds are low, hire the best and most-experienced person you can.

Radio Stations

If you are going to have a local music program, please hire hosts whose musical tastes aren’t colored by their libidos. If you look good in tight leather pants and sound strikingly similar to Rage Against the Machine, more power to ya. I personally don’t look all that hot in shiny black pants, and I can’t rap. I still want airplay, though.

While on this subject, I’d like to share a sub-list of my favorite - as in least- Really Dumb Things Said By Local Music Program Hosts (who shall remain nameless):

  • "Yeah, send us free stuff. That’ll definitely get you on the air!"
  • "Gosh, those guys are so hot!"
  • "If you don’t have a gig coming up, don’t send us a CD and expect us to play it. We support performing local artists." Yeah – by the neck.
  • "We’ve got lots of different stuff for you tonight."
  • "Boy, those guys are hot!"

By the way, I mean no disrespect to leather pants or Rage Against the Machine.

my contribution to an art show at THORNTON THREADS curated by BRAD from ASSEMBLY ART PARTY

... first time I have ever been part of a collaborative art show.. I know they are juvenile. but it was fun creating them. this was a political statement. see the word "right" is on the left shoe.. "THE LEFT IS RIGHT" and the word "Wrong" is on the right shoe.. "THE RIGHT IS WRONG" then I added text from Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech" just to make everyone question.. right, left, wrong, and right...

WORLD'S LARGEST YARD SALE  450 MILES LONG  WANNA  GO?  MAKE PLANS NOW..  THE FIRST WEEKEND IN AUGUST...

http://www.hwy127.com/

Spanning 450 miles and 4 states, it’s hard to keep track of the number of vendors and shoppers the Hwy 127 Corridor Sale attracts.  The start line for the World’s Longest Yard Sale is at Covington, Kentucky and ends in Alabama following the majority of highway 127.   The sale begins on August 3rd and ends on the 6th.  Vendors come from various backgrounds; some are homeowners selling items that they have collected over the years, while others are professional dealers that have geared up for this event. 

The idea for the Hwy 127 Corridor Sale originated with Mr. Mike Walker of Fentress County, TN.  He wanted to bring Interstate System tourists to the highway less traveled by in Tennesse and Kentucky.  Since its start in 1987, the event has multiplied and has become the best thing since sliced bread.

world's longest yard sale

The only additional tip with this yard sale as opposed to other yard/tag/rummage sales is that you will have to book lodging along the route, preferably a year in advance.  If you are taking an RV orphoto by MSNBC Media trailer, make sure to plan and confirm campsights that you will be staying at.   Consider this as a vacation destination.   Can’t attend this year?  Mark your calendars next year and enjoy the World’s Longest Yard Sale!
