How to make it in the music Industry.

Hey all you Justin Beibers out there, you thought that if you put your video on you tube and had a my space page you would somehow get magically discovered by some record producer who in turn could set you up, with their connections and you would be in? Or maybe if you thought you could get yourself on some kind of magic music list, your song would get noticed...and wham, there it is you are in the business. You want to know the secret? It takes allot of work.

My brother is a record producer, and after some probing questions from a curious mind, (that would be me) I finally understood what it takes to be successful. There are many amature music artist out there who think that the way to be a full time musician is easy. They write a song or two, get some studio to produce a demo and that's about as far as they go. Why? because they are amatures. Some people get their songs on lists, but according to James Finnerty and myself, it's a dead end.

You might have heard it said that connections are everything, not true. The music business is just that a business. 1. You have to have talent. 2. You have to have no other commitments than to give yourself full time to your art. 3. You have to perform, not just perform but you have to have a real fan base within the music industry. 4. You need a music manager after you have or are paying you dues, this can't be a part time thing. 5. You need material and obviously music skill, training, and talent. 6. You need a team of people in the music industry to promote your music, usually via a music manager, and you have to come with recommendations.

Knocking on a famous producers door in Hollywood may have worked for Alanis Morrisette, and Katy Perry, but for most musicians it's a teenage dream. (Katy perry's new album "teenage dream")

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

Ontarian's to possibly extend Daylight Savings time till next Spring. Regardless as to why we started this time change, it has been in effect many years before I was born, or my Parents were born. I understand that some people can benefit with the extra sunlight in the winter time, but I want to give you a definition of our circadian rhythm as humans. circadian rhythm (/sɜːrˈkeɪdiən/) is any biological process that displays an endogenous, entrainable oscillation of about 24 hours. These 24-hour rhythms are driven by a circadian clock, and they have been widely observed in plants, animals, fungi, and cyanobacteria. In other words, our bodies are biological clocks that operate within the realm of time, and time is measured by how much daylight is in a day. Our bodies adjust to time, but it takes time and a steady exposure to sunlight during the day to set our internal clocks. When we experience time changes, our bodies change along with the 24 hour day cycle. When we over-extend ...
