I'm back...I think.


it's been a while since I've written so I apologize to the readers who were beginning to check into my Guitarist of the Day blog. I've been off producing records (11 of them) and writing music for a couple of commissions including a play out in LA. Anyway, I'm back...I think.

Also, It would be great if readers could post on this blog rather than send me personal emails about posts. That way, we can see if this blog will actually work. If not, then I'll just go to rewiring some more of my guitars.:)

I hope you're all having a good summer and that your music is moving ahead despite the inevitable obstacles.

regards,

Cristian

ASCAP has lost its mind







In its claims against Creative Commons (among others) ASCAP is showing that it does not understand how people make and engage with music now. ASCAP is  doomed to failure. I like some of those old songs too, but what does that kind of artistic production have to do with the majority of musicmakers working today? Marilyn Bergman and ASSCAP are stuck in the windmills of their minds.
