Funday Friday

What is it about Friday? There is always that certain feeling- that feeling seems to be across the board -whether your working or not, heck even when I work on the weekends I still like Fridays. Perhaps it's the songs that have been pumped into our souls that sing of the glory of the weekend. Whatever it is, Friday is here and I encourage everyone to get out there and enjoy some live music this weekend! Be safe and be happy!

Thanks Jimi! What a powerful thought.

11 Days to Go

It's almost here. The public roll-out date of musicshaft.com (June 1st) - We'll be starting with the Ventura and LA county areas and branching out and out and out. The goal is to be nation wide eventually. The main goal of musicshaft.com is to include all musicians in a simple, easy-to-use zip code driven search engine that has venue links as well.
I'm having so much fun meeting and talking with people- there is so much support for what we are doing- I love the good vibes from so many cool people.
Life is funny- for the first time in my working career I'm completely utterly happy, a bit overwhelmed and overburdened- but hey, I'm happy! So far musicshaft.com is an act of love and faith to music- so it seems a bit shocking when people keep asking me how are we going to make money.
For those of you who ask the question: The plan is to create a must-go-to reliable site that continues to be user friendly and simple and fast no matter how big we get and how many 'hits' we get. Bands & Venues that want to include their website link in the calendar section can pay $10 a month or $100 for the year. Calendar postings will always be free and advertising will be kept to a minimum.
Simple is good!

musicshaft.com well on it's way!

Seriously, I should've posted more than 30 days ago, but what can I say, I've been busy. I'm happy to report that musicshaft.com is well on it's way to being a user-friendly fully functional website. The calendar section is up and the zip code search engine is one it's way shortly. I'm enjoying getting to meet musicians and tell them about musicshaft. Waiting for public roll-out until the website is worthly of a person's time. There is so much info out there to collect- I gotta go....
