Pro Tools for Musicians and Songwriters44 reviews
Gina Fant-Saez

Peachpit Press, 2006

Lifesaver!!!!!!!!
I have never felt compelled to write a review for any product I've ever purchased, but this is different!! I've been a home recording artist since the mid-eighties. Started with a Tascam 4 track cassette recorder, then to their 8 track version and then to Yamaha's AW4416 DAW. So I have a basic understanding for recording, but was never a techie at it. All I wanted was to lay my tracks and ...

I just got my copy of this CD and I listened to it immediatly. David Hooper, gives lots of great ideas for being successful in music and any business, or life.

Solo
com) from Atlanta, Georgia November 14, 1998 Dear Emma and Marc, Solo is awesome, the images and narrative are both soulful and powerful. As a practicing artist I'm attracted to the imagery in your book. The photographs have a cinematic quality to them, in particular the series of photo's of Holly Palmer. When I look at the images in your book I feel spirit and emotion of the people ...

Ian Hunter15 reviews

Columbia, 1990

One of the finest
Ian Hunter by Ian Hunter and featuring Mick Ronson is one of the finest albums to come out of the seventies. Not only are the songs tight, spirited, and well played, but they seem to have stood the test of time. Listening to them now they sound as good as they did back in 1975 when I first bought the lp and wore it out. Though Hunter may not be a 70's rock and roll poetic genius like Bob Dylan ... 		  
  







  
  
Conga Drumming: A Beginner's Guide to Playing With Time W/ CD8 reviews
Alan Dworsky, Betsy Sanby

Dancing Hands Music, 1994

Love the book; like their notation
I agree with all the other reviewers... this is a great book for beginners and advanced (as well as folks somewhere in the middle, like me). One thing I didn't expect to like, since I can read regular music notation, was their concocted music notation. To my surprise, I like theirs better. It's very intuitive, and after a while, you can pretty much sight-read the rhythms. If I hear/see a conga ...

Making It in the Music Business: The Business and Legal Guide for Songwriters and Performers (Little Book ...3 reviews
Lee Wilson

Allworth Press, 1999

Making It in the Music Business
This book is a "must have" for every songwriter and artist out there. Even though it discusses legal issues, it's not full of legalese. I can hardly believe it's by an attorney! But rest assured, it's full of pertinent information written in an easy-to-read style. Don't sign any contract until you've read the entire book.

Down in Orburndale: A Songwriter's Youth in Old Florida7 reviews
Bobby Braddock

Louisiana State University Press, 2007

A masterpiece!
Bobby Braddock has written an exceptional book -- a portrait of an artist as a young man, if you will. So much honesty about a part of America that is gone. So much honesty about a boy who grew up there and would go on to become one of America's great songwriters. He sees the humor of his darkest moments, and I'm still laughing just thinking about those moments. The book ends just before he ...

Fun To Read AND A Great Resource Book!
