70’s Music Artists

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Following the musical revolution in the 1960s, the next decade absorbed different influences and produced a mixture of genres. 70’s music artists represented many different styles. There was something for everyone, with disco, soft rock, progressive rock, punk and new wave, and more. There were many radio friendly artists that got a lot of airplay. The brother / sister duo, The Carpenters appealed to moms and dads, and their kids. Karen Carpenter’s voice was one of the best in pop. Country rock, as it was known, was a popular fusion and The Eagles had the most commercial success with their laid back vocals. In contrast, Heavy Metal was alive and well, particularly in the UK. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Judas Priest were exciting to watch live and commanded a huge following.

PBS becomes a Missouri tourist

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

The local PBS station wanted to do a special on Missouri so they loaded up the van and headed towards the state. On the first rest stop once they crossed the border they picked up a Missouri tourist guide and started looking at the attractions. They decided a trip to Branson might be just the thing as it was reasonably long drive and they could film quite a bit of the countryside and show how it changes from north to south. They started filming once they got to Kansas City showcasing the parts of big city seen as one drives along 435. When they exited on the south side they carefully documented how the city flows to the suburbs and how the suburbs flow into the country. Starting out was mostly prairie which slowly changed to more forest. The small towns were chronicled also. The further they went the more trees and hills there were and the views became more spectacular. They actually bypassed Branson showing the changing scenery as they drove up into the Ozark mountains. After having all that footage they returned to Branson and highlighted some of the shows and events there. Rather than a documentary I think they actually filmed a commercial for Missouri.

Brochure Printing- Where To Go

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

An Article on inexpensive Brochure Printing

Things have changed a lot in recent years now that printers are cheaper than ever. Because of this, people can do there own color copies and print them from home. More and smaller companies are doing their brochure printing all in house. Some people want full 4 color brochures while others need cheap color brochure printing, pardon me I meant low cost brochure printing. So In order to keep up, Kinko’s and the other large copy businesses have begun to offer cheaper copying and even in color.

Now, I wouldn’t say that they are cheap if you are only printing out one or two. It still can cost as much as a quarter per copy. Nonetheless, if you print in bulk like I do, it is much easier to get cheap color prints than ever before. But I’ve found that promoting events with brochures cost me about 60% less money than it used to. In any case whatever brochure services you use just make sure you compare prices and quality of work.

Do you have a favorite celebrity?  Alec Baldwin is a famous America actor, producer, and director.  He is the oldest and most famous of the ‘Baldwin brothers’, his younger brothers Daniel, Stephen, and William are all well known actors as well.  Okay, so the most obvious choice is the classic Marilyn Monroe picture where she is standing over the subway grate blowing cool air up her sexy dress on a hot city day—in the movie, The Seven Year Itch.  My friend has a Britney Spears poster in his bedroom.  In this poster, she is wearing a cap, doing a semi-wink at her viewer, has a crop top on to expose or reveal her naval piercing, and is quite voluptuous for the rails that usually top the fashion and celebrity charts.�

Psychedelic Album Covers Of The Sixties

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

During the 1960’s and 1970’s, album covers tended toward conceptual protests of previous ideas of good cover design. Abstract psychedelic patterns were popularly tied in to this new concept. The “hippie” times were a period of mind expansion and discovery, characterized by demands for social and political reform. This was expressed through the medium of the album cover, with photographs of war contrasting with portrayals of aristocratic wealth. On a lighter note, “flower children”, nature, and Eastern religion were combined with psychedelic mind-blowing color-infused patterns.

Major Record Labels

Monday, November 20th, 2006

Ever consider how music plays such a large part in our lives? I cannot think of a day when I did not hear music. Whether you have a collection of thousands of CDs or in my case albums or just turn on the radio during your morning commute to work, you are a connoisseur of music.

Do you ever wonder how it gets to you or do you ever wonder who decides what music gets played and what music doesn´t? Do you ever wonder why only certain artists get played or have their music sold in major retail outlets? Has it ever crossed your mind what trends are going to overtake music next? Well the answer to most of these questions lies within the major record labels.

If you love or hate an artist, it´s their record label that you either thank or blame. The major record labels take on new artists and promote the sales of their CDs and/or DVDs. They may also help other companies with tour promotions and other public events.

A recording company will usually take on an artist for a specific length of time or for so many recordings. This depends on the terms of the contract negotiated with the major record labels. If you have ever taken a look at your CD and or DVD collection you´ll probably find that nearly 90% of them come from one of the five major record labels in some way shape or form … [more on major record labels]

Until we are captured the spirit of the song and are satisfied.

Dashing Through The Christmas Songs

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

But Christmas songs evolved. From the free domain songs that are still absolutely moving, like “O Holy Night” and “Little Drummer Boy,” sung by kids in itchy Christmas pageants or pious choirs once a year without fail and simple ditties about food and presents and figgy pudding and nog, Christmas songs have gone into penetrating, challenging, bonding, and spiritually elevating realms.

Welcome To The Roger Waters Machine

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Pink Floyd reunited at the Live 8 concert in London in July 2005, for a one off performance. Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason stood on the same stage at last, after years of estrangement. It was a magical time, with each band mate smiling at each other, as if they couldn’t quite believe it. At the end, Roger Waters drew the others towards him and they all linked arms. They all looked genuinely pleased to be there, and said they were all thinking of Syd.

A lot of mind expansion has gone under the bridge. Sadly, Syd has now passed on. Roger Waters and his former comrades in arms came full circle and enchanted us again at Bob Geldof’s gathering of the clans. Syd is playing in a meadow somewhere, the carefree child again that he once was. Roger Waters is still here to remind us to break down the wall.
