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....

Grisly BK releases crazy cocaine influenced hustler’s anthem "Robe On A Pope"

The up and comer Grisly Bk is back at it with a hot trap track -Robe On A Pope- music video. The hard gangsta music brought to mind The Notorious B.I.G.’s debut Ready to Die, unleashed back in 1994. The track highlights open-air crack deals, robberies at gunpoint on the A train and shootouts with the NYPD . The Brooklyn, New York’s rap artist Grisly BK has successfully brought the past into the present with his style. The superior mix constitutes content from the past that’s still relevant at the present. I like Grisly’s ability to embrace emotions as he delivers this track, be able to tone remarkably well yet the track is damn aggressive. If you’re hanging on the fence about this talented artist, be sure to check his E.P, two mixtapes and two singles to get a glimpse of this lyricist. This track portrays an artist that grew up on gangsta music in the crack era. It’s without a doubt that he listened to guys like Kool G Rap , I’m glad we have someone representing Brooklyn so dam

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. Asuka vs. Emma Winner - Asuka Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann vs. Gentleman Jack Gallagher & The Brian Kendrick Winners - Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss vs. Mickie James Winner - Alexa Bliss WWE Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore Winner - Enzo Amore Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles Winner - Finn Balor Kurt Angle, Dean Ambrose &
