While down at the local juke joint plugging in dimes to hear Herman’s Hermit’s version of Sea Cruise our guitar player, George Plant, brought in a magazine called Hit Parader which had pictures of our idols – Paul Revere, Mark Lindsay (Raider’s singer), Herman’s Hermits and The Dave Clark 5 – and stories of their [...]]]> http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1200/hit-parader-magazine-my-window-to-the-lyrics/feed/ 6 http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1166/this-business-of-music-revisited/ http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/1166/this-business-of-music-revisited/#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:02:31 +0000 Kim Kinrade http://www.kimkinrade.com/blog/?p=1166 Warning: arsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/sykesa/kimkinrade.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-pro.php(241) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 762

In the 1970′s a book came out on the shelves that took the past thirty years of music and put it into one concise, easy-to-read thesis. It was called “This Business of Music” and I studied it cover to cover because music had become a business for me and a very complicated business at that.

“I have been going to “Vintage” guitar shows for about 21 years. It seems to me that there are many more guitars available today to buy than there were 16 years ago. How can that be?

Cory Doctrow just finished a chilling article on the history of music file sharing that points to further gloom for the music business.

When I watch the “idol” reality shows I can’t help but wonder how good many of these contestants are. I mean they have more talent in one hand than I did at that age.

I can’t get over the price of the musical instruments these days. With the 3rd World countries making guitars and the miniaturizing of sound support you can get a guitar-amp combo for $150 that could blow away a Sears Silvertone and amp of the same price over 40 years ago.

I used to hate music competitions. The practicing leading up to the date wasn’t the bad part. I would put the time and effort into the studies and my teacher would be happy with my progress.
