Play Live Often and Don’t Worry About Getting Paid For Every Gig.

You can always tell the difference between a musician who is in it for the money, and a musician who is in it for the music.

The dedicated musician can’t NOT play music every chance they get.

Money-focused musicians whine about the fact that they can't get club gigs that pay anything. Well, If you think that you can make your living solely as a musician in the first three to four years of your career, you're headed for a breakdown and disappointment.

Think about it... almost every legendary, gifted musician who has made a mark on our culture has been a musician who struggled long and hard at their craft, and never gave up. Playing live as often as possible was as natural to them as breathing in and out.

So, eat determination for breakfast! Go out there and play on the streets if you have to, play at schools, fairs, festivals, do benefits to help other people and organizations.

Offer your services to non- profits, charities, church groups, and any other companies or organizations you can think of.

Hang out at clubs, look for jamming possibilities, or start your own jam sessions.

Look around your city or town, and you will see many places and venues where musicians can play.

As you establish yourself and more and more people show up at your shows, the paid gigs will increase.

Remember... play live, and then after you play live, play live again, that’s what musicians are supposed to do.

WWE TLC - No Tables No Ladders No Chairs?

TLC Highlights The WWE paper view definitely lived up to the hype, well i guess. The paper view itself was great.

To call itself a TLC paper view the only match that used anything of the sort was the main event. The rest of the nights card featured traditional matches in traditional style. As mentioned earlier over all the matches were great but if your going to call it a TLC paper view actually have matches involved with tables, ladders and chairs.

Interview with The Forgotten 45's

1) Where are we talking from today? A. At rehearsal, in a windstorm without power in Olympia, Washington trying to type by candlelight. 2) How did you get involved in music? A. We are a team of 5 summoned by lord Zordon. Nolan (singer) Nolan's parents both had an appreciation for music and had him singing before he could properly form sentences. Introducing to him the music of the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Michael Jackson. Not much has changed, including his ability to properly form sentences or lack thereof. Cos (bassist) Cos's father was a strong influence in his musical career. Starting at age 7, he taught him how to play guitar, and encouraged him to play in the school jazz band from middle school through high school. At age 16, he got Cos a job playing bass at a local church. Cos met Michael during his freshman year at St. Martin's University, and that summer the band known as String Theory was formed, which has slowly transformed into The Forgotten 45...

1. Where are we talking from today? A. I'm in Nashville, TN 2. Where did you get your artist name from? A. I was the lead guitarist for Rock & Roll Hall of fame Leon Russell from 2005 to 2007.
