    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    To a point. And depending on where it was hosted. Of course, I'd have to buy a domain name, write all the code, and have the site hosted. I could buy the domain for fairly cheap, write the code (in any number of languages), and then it would be a matter of finding a hosting company... But...

    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    Probably C# on the 2.0 Framework. I'd probably use XML instead of a database. Although the web thing is a good idea.

    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    True, but most CRMs are fairly expensive. And this one would be "niche". I think, though, it might be a good way to help musicians get organized.

    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    Ok, let's say I leave that press kit piece off. So, what price would you be willing to pay for an application like this? Just curious. I'm sure I could do it, I'd just need to figure out what features it should have.

    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    Possibly. But it would be for independent musicians. I think with the right input, and the right data, I could do it. I'm just wondering what the demand would be.

    Would anyone be interested in a program?

    Would anyone be interested in a computer program that would help you manage your contacts, keep track of your upcoming gigs, keep track of your CD sales, help you organize a "press kit" or a "promo kit", and anything else I can think of? Thoughts? Unless there's something like that already...

    Weird idea...

    Ok, here's my weird idea. Everyone on here has probably heard of the whole "six degrees of separation" thing. Well, going along that idea, how's this idea: Let's say you have three friends willing to do this. Those three friends could potentially (most likely) know people you don't. What you...

    Tribute to a friend

    It does remind me of a lyric from a Garth Brooks song: "There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone and everyone knows what they mean. But what's more important is the time that is known by that little dash there in between." Mikeh, Sorry about your friend. The lyrics really do...

    Great lyrics. Really make you think.

    Song in progress...

    Thoughts so far?? Sweet Hellos © 2007 Monte Richardson V1: Five days a week I head to work, red lights and brake lights in my way I want to get the day started so I can get it done and head back home to the ones I love Ch: And when I get there, and I walk through the door and see the two...

    I really don't like these lyrics

    I don't really have a problem with the overall message or the story in the lyrics. The lines "it's kind of a shame", and "it's kind of a waste", seem repetitive. Maybe consider: To wake up just to stay awake To go home to stay at home To buy your time by killing time It’s kind of a shame...

    Paper Thin (lyrics)

    Why not change it to "miss the news, you'll be dead" (or even "you might be dead")? That way you can work the word "news" into it, and you can also keep along the story that something "vital" is coming up on the news, and you shouldn't miss it.

    Paper Thin (lyrics)

    What about changing it to "In the name of paper, in the dollar we trust"? Also it might be good to mention something about ratings being high. "Ratings high, the bottom line" or something...

    Paper Thin (lyrics)

    I think you've got a good story going on here, and it does seem to reflect what a lot of people think about the 24 hour news media. One line throws me a little... "In the name of paper paper we trust." The "paper paper" piece seems a little off.

    Web design feedback (not really music related)

    Well, I made a really silly mistake, and forgot to mention that I looked at the site at 1280 x 1024 resolution. That's probably why I saw the gap. At any rate, if it's at all possible, I'd try to get the text where it doesn't overlap the monitor. The word(s) that overlap the monitor become(s)...

    Web design feedback (not really music related)

    To me, the text is fine. There's quite a gap between the menu and where the text is, so why not move the text to the left 10-15 pixels?

    Web design feedback (not really music related)

    I like it. The text explaining what it is overlaps with the computer (the word "your") in FireFox. Other than that, I think you're definitely on the right track!

    Question -- If you're just starting out...

    I totally get what you're saying. Not harsh at all. Not taking it that way. Just preparing for the future. I'm just excited, maybe a little over-zealous. It's all good. :D

    Question -- If you're just starting out...

    And if nothing else, I can hope for some type of feedback from the publishers. This way I can build on that. Here's what I mean by "just starting out". I have a notebook that I keep lyrics in. I have about 30 songs and partial songs written in there. What I'd like to do is put a few of them to...

    Question -- If you're just starting out...

    I was reading a few articles (I believe a couple of them were on MusesMuse) about sending songs to music publishers. One of the articles advised sending the following: 1. CD with all contact info 2. Short bio 3. Lyric sheets It also states: "List any significant professional credits that...
