Indie music you will love.
I love MySpace for many different reasons: free advertising for companies, bands, etc, and the ability to check out the countless people in this world who possess amazing talents. Everyone from musicians to photographers to artists proudly display their work for the world to view and enjoy.
I wanted to share with you some of the great independent music I have found while perusing the site as well as by other means. I hope you enjoy their music as much as I have!
This group plays high energy music that they classify as pop/psychedelic. I love “The Holy Ground” and several others.
The song “Not Going Home” helped me tremendously through some rough times struggling with my “adopted” family issues. It is a beautiful, strong, passionate, tragic, and powerful song.
His music is alternative/experimental/pop. His voice is soft, beautiful and touches the heart. My favorites from him are “Traces” and “Big Brother”. I am certain you will love him too.
James’ music is classified in the folk genre. His voice is breathy, unique and beautiful. My favorites are “Soul and the Sea” and “Winter Storm”. I just checked out his site and it appears that he also just added a nice Christmas song to his collection: “Joy to the World”.
Enjoy!

They sound like people I would like. MY myspace was phlished and now I can’t get back in. They gave me a new pass word but it will not work and I have notified them numerous times. That was where I communicated best with my grandsons who are in the army. I am still trying.

Dear Ruby, sorry to hear about the troubles you had with Myspace. I hope you are able to get it up working again soon so that you can contact your grandsons. You can still view these music groups by clicking the link – you do not have to be signed in.
Dear Judy, yes, music is one of those beautiful universal communicators. Life would not be the same without it.
Dear Elizabeth, thank you so very kindly!
Best wishes to all.

There’s some fabulous artists on Myspace. I used to have my music up there but it’s hard getting people to hear it. It’s nice to see that you’re promoting some of the great talent out there. Thanks for that!

Dear CSawyer, from what I’ve seen and my experience with musician friends – keep at it, perserverance is one important key to success at any endeavor. There are also great friend adding programs that can help spread your music to others. Believe in your dreams and they will come true!

I like it, but my favorite music is country. Most anything by George Strait, or some of his cronies–even better are Johnny Cash or Hank Williams sr. Some of the old time country singers from way back in the 50s and 60s–they are the best singers in my humble opinion.
I still enjoyed what you had to say.
