Welcome to ABQ Bands Online!

When you are on stage, do you get frustrated because things don't seem to be happening the way they’re supposed to be? You see other musicians milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your music goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.

Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn't unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.

Some people believe that great musicians are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in being a great musician.

You must also remember that good musicians are continually working and studying to improve their natural talents. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.

The better part of today's radio fare sounds like a junkyard in an earthquake, an ape-fight in a boiler factory, a dying calf in a hail storm, a truck load of milk cans just hit a truck load of pigs, a cat-choir singing a siren serenade, or an artillery barrage that couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a handful of rice. And those are the love-songs. At least there's a variety! There IS some good music out there, in spite of the Beer Joint Baritones, hopefully yours will add to that collection

The first consideration of any recording project is BUDGET! How much money is this turkey going to take before it grows feathers? You can't blow the whole bucket in production and expect someone else to "take it from there" unless you're a damned fool. Such typical stupidity is known as "session-rich and promotion-poor" and only a damned fool does it. Once you know how much money you have to invest, that must pay for both production and promotion, you're ready for the next step. Determining what you're going to do with the product once it's finished
