Artist Joe The Bluesman Blogs About Practice Makes Perfect

Here we are again, time to send out a bit of my thoughts...

What am I thinking about? Mostly getting ready for my first gig in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The land of my wife's family and the land of Hatch chilies, truly the best food in the world. But not really thinking about that, thinking about how I'll need to discipline myself in regards to practicing!

Practice? We talking about practice, Yes Alan, I'm talking about practice!

As you know I have a new single coming out in a few days. The prep work to produce recording is never seen, but at least for me, before I go into the money draining studio, I know the song inside and out. But that means I'm working those songs at the cost of all the others in my set. Like Nigel Rogers said in a tweet, "I don't practice for a day, I know it. I don't practice for 2 days YOU know it!" True words.

That is why I am practicing, I even forget the intricate fingering and or the words of even my own songs!
Now I work through the set, every day. I am excited that my new show has a large segment of all acoustic, just me and the guitar.

So, I need to figure out how to keep a better practice schedule, keeping up with the new and the older songs...it is all about personal discipline....

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. Every match on the card was exciting, entertaining but there was just one problem, no tables no ladders no chairs. 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.

Eminem "Revival" Album Review

The best and worst Eminem record I've ever heard. Album Rating 3 out of 4. Song Rating System 4 out of 4 - Really liked 3 out of 4 - Liked 2 out of 4 - Didn't like 1 out of 4 - No response "Revival" is the ninth studio album by American rapper Eminem . The album was released on December 15th, 2017 through Aftermath Entertainment , Shady Records , and Interscope Records . ( Wikipedia ) 1. Walk On Water ( feat. Beyonce ) - 4 out of 4 - Probably will go down as one of the most underrated of Eminem's hits. The song encompasses all of the talents and personalities of one of this generations greatest artist. Unlike some of his prior works, the song is not set on a grand stage but a simple piano-driven beat with raw, honest lyrics and a beautiful hook from Beyonce. 2. Believe - 2 out of 4 - It's interesting to hear Eminem switch it up and rap over more trap-like beats. Honestly, he does it better than most of the yo...

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.

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.

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...
