Yes. It isn't hard. I can also walk and chew gum at the same time! CALL RIPLEY'S!

Doubtful till seen....

There is plenty we can say. Money talks. Start investing in band with talent, and get all your friends to, and they will starting to change.

And who decides if the bands have talent? Tibby?  

All I can say is that if Tibby doesn't like them, they must be pretty awesome! I'll check them out and even follow Tibby's advice and let the money talk!

Try it some time, you might surprise yourself with the kind of things you can accomplish when you put your mind to it. I find the best walking gun it Trident, the only problem is you have to use half a pack to get a good wad in your mouth. The best gum for beginners would have to be Bubbleyum. Doublemint is also good if you are first starting out.

Simple, the artistic community. If we get some real artists and musicians signed, the no-talent hacks like Brittany Spears and Korn wouldn’t last a week on any charts. Good music will win out over good gimmicks any day of the week if given half a chance.

Wow! Except for the little detail you forgot. We have five kids ranging from 25 down to 7. I am a mom. I multi-task....
But I am so glad that you're learning.....

Now if only it made any sense.... You say Korn and Britney aren't 'good' music; yet they've won out. Hmmmm..... Wait, don't tell me! Let me guess.... You're a better 'artist' than any of the ones out there now?   (though I must say I'm not a fan of Korn or Britney....)

I didn't forget, you have not told me this detail. I only knew of you as a mother, I wasn't sure about the of who part.

And it doesn't because why...?

You say Korn and Britney aren't 'good' music; yet they've won out.

YES, that is exactly right! Are you going to parot what I have already said, or reply to it?

Hmmmm..... Wait, don't tell me! Let me guess.... You're a better 'artist' than any of the ones out there now?  

I never said that, honey, now did I?

(though I must say I'm not a fan of Korn or Britney....)

Nice to know

Ah, it's been told..... you must have missed it!   My baby boys are 25 and 22....

And it doesn't because why...?

Because they've been voted as 'talented' by the very method you prescribed.... CASH!  

I never said that, honey, now did I?

Not sure who this is in reference to..... Though I'm not 'honey' I'll ask again.... Do you think you are more talented than they are?

People will listen to what they like. As with any art, the emotional response is a consideration. I'm not a Pollock fan, yet he's considered to be 'talented'. And I'd much rather hear a child sing 'Jesus Loves Me' than to listen to opera.

In that case, I’m proud of you. You must be a wonderful mother and wife.

Yes, I am more talented them many artist out their today, which is why this topic makes me so angry. I know guys who DANCE on the fret board, but who will never be able to make it big because they will not play the game and sleep with the right bunch of people. I can give you names and numbers of the best Bluegrass musicians in the Area, guy who have been playing for longer then I have been alive (a fact that is clearly demonstrated every time they touch a guitar) but they will never make it bigger then local venue’s because of a little thing called Music Television. MTV, VH1, CMT.

Is that a big problem in East Texas?

Then why don't they make a CD and distribute it themselves?

It is a big problem all over the world, and not just in Music. One of the Musicians, Dr. Sam Smith, is a Ciropractor. He is the best in town, and the only one that will annoint you with oil and pray for you if you are in real pain! However, he doesn't play the popularity game, doesn't go to the big churches, or the country clubs, and he is really losing cash. Dr. Dement and Dr. Darr play the game and roll in the dough. I'm not to upset with Dement, but Darr leaves his clinets coming out in MORE pain then they went in with. And People don't see that because he plays the game. He also cheats on his wife with one of this College-age staff members. Still, he plays the game.

They do They all ahve at least one CD, if not more.
