Some Explaining To Do

So I have given this blog a makeover trying to make it more pleasing to the eye. The links on the top will take you to different pages of the blog except for the YouTube one it takes you to my YouTube page. You will have to use the back button if you go to the YouTube page in order to return to my blog. I hope that this new design is easier to navigate and is as pleasing to you as it is to me. I tried to keep with my style when redoing this blog but not change it so much that it would confuse anyone who visits.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you hope your holiday is safe and happy

A new Music Social Network Site

Well it may not be new to you but it is new to me I am talking about Worldsings it is a cool place to hear new music. The object is to hear and vote on new music while social networking.I just joined it yesterday you can view my profile here and I am already having fun. I have seen some interesting new music and found some cool new friends.

This is how they describe their site

"WorldSings.com is a music and social networking community organizing The World’s Best Song Competition. Members vote for their favorite songs and decide which top 20 will compete in the WORLDSINGS Concert in Las Vegas. What’s at Stake for the Artists? There is $1,000,000 in prize money up for grabs. And the Members? Members also have a chance to win a variety of prizes."

They have music and people from all around the world it really is fun to see and hear all the different types of music. If you are into music like I am then you should go and take a peek and join in the fun yourself. In case you missed it the link is here.

What Makes A Good Singer?

I was out looking for some music news and came across another top 100 singers list. Now I like to see top singer, song, bands, albums lists but what I don't like is how they mix up all the genres together. How can you possibly compare a blues singer to a heavy metal singer? You really can't. How can someone like Axle from Guns and Roses be compared to let's say Alicia Keys it can't be done and in all reality shouldn't be...

Now back to the top singers list this list I saw was on RollingStone's site it made me a bit agitated to see that some singers were placed where they were on the list. Now as some of you may know I am a huge Zeppelin fan but it bothered me to see that Robert Plant #15 was ahead of Steve Perry #76.Why does this bother me? I'm glad to answer that you see to me what makes a great singer isn't how they sound on an album anyone can sound good with the right people in the studio. What makes a great singer is how they sound live up on stage. Have you ever heard Steve Perry sing live?Well if you haven' take a listen

Now here is Steve on the album version not much of a difference.

It is like listening to an angle sing right? Steve can hit notes like no other I am in awe of his voice.
Now have you ever heard Robert Plant live? If you haven't listen here now just let me say once again led Zeppelin is my favorite group.

Now here is how Robert sounds after the studio guys get done

Do you see my point? How what makes a good singer is not how they sound on an album but how they sound live on a stage.

And The Winner Is

We finally have a winner of this weeks guess the song and singer/group.Congrats to The Old Man from Rose Garden Music. He guessed John Lennon (just like) Starting Over. The Old Man is a newcomer to Music Monday and I welcome him. You should check out his blog is takes you through his journey of teaching himself to play the guitar. I wish him luck with on his journey I admire him for doing this all on his own.

A Clue

Hello I see that some of you are asking for a clue I think I can manage that. The singer of this song went solo after being involved with a bunch of bugs.
