YOU GOTTA TALK THE TALK, TO WALK THE WALK.

Picture this..... your coming into practice with your band, you start off by naming the new gigs that got added and making sure everybody can make it. You go over what songs need fine tuning and what you can do to make it awesome. Your band mates are on the same level as you are,on where you want to take this group and agree on the dedication involved to make this work. Everybody is asked if there is any new material they created that they want to share, so you can collaborate on making another new song. 

So how many musicians out there feel confident and happy in the groups that they are in. Do you feel unsatisfied? Maybe you just not into the type of music that is being created. Your just not feeling it. I feel that musicians need to connect more with other local musicians. I know that it is difficult to find people that have the same level of dedication as you, that want to play the same type of music as you, and has the same available schedule as you. Don't even get started with matching personalities, because if you wouldn't get along as friends how can you play music together. There is a lot of different factors coming into creating a band. I thought of an idea for players to have a place to go where they can search for what musicians they are looking for. Since I live in the Twin cities it would basically be a local search engine on the internet where musicians have a profile. You would keep up with your availability, if your in a band and want to add another or want to start one. Also if you are currently in a band and just want to play with someone for a change of pace but don't want anything beyond jamming. Imagine being able to write in your availability, influences,dedication level and just getting  a list of musicians,with images if wanted, that you can contact. This, I think would help to create more harmonious music. Connection is the key, because if you can't talk the talk ,you can't walk the walk.
