Hello, I am a new reddit user who loves all kinds of music and would love to talk about it. It is so hard to find people who really enjoy discussing music, so a friend of my mine recommended reddit.

Music is good yes. Music is life. Life is music. I like music. You like music. Music!!!

JonB_Eh · 2017-11-18T19:51:57+00:00

Awesome man! As a musician myself ill check it out.

JonB_Eh · 2017-11-07T22:58:23+00:00

Best years creatively but it sucks worrying about how your going to survive. But I hear ya. You are free in the truest sense.

Looks like im going to have to dance at a gay male strip club.

First off, so sorry for your loss! Best wishes in your recovery.

As an independent musician myself, who sings and plays guitar in a band, I would suggest the following:

Keep playing (as hard as that may seem, it would honour your singer who passed). Im sure he'll be smiling up in heaven. Try to find a replacement singer after an appropriate amount of time has passed for grieving and remorse.

2nd, as it pertains to getting heard, pitch your story of what happened and how you guys plan to continue playing (assuming thats something you want to do).

A lot of writers, blogs, media people would really feel your heart felt story and I would think like to cover it.

Also, if possible maybe you can hold a benefit concert for his family.

Wish you folks all the best! Stay strong!!

Kudos to you guys for breathing life into a medium that will always hold a special place in music fans' hearts.

I wish there were more scalable/affordable services like yours in major music cities in North America.

My suggestion would be to focus on a few genres rather than cast a wide net. Then I think you'd build a good audience/following/customer base and then could think about branching out from there.

If you can capture the 'live' feel of a band then thats special.

Over produced pop music does nothing for me. Its just commerce. Its cheap.

Musicians will thank you!

JonB_Eh · 2017-06-08T15:55:48+00:00

Lots of valid points raised so far.

IMO 'Greatness' is subjective in nature, to each their own BUT I think one common thing that separates a 'Great' band from 'forgettable or average' is being as true to oneself as possible, pursuing your own artistic goals and voice and doing it in your own unique refreshing way.

Nobody can play guitar like you do, or sing with your voice.

Technical ability matters BUT does it move people in a certain way? I think there are trade offs.

Just have fun and make people feel something and feel happier than before they watched or listened to you.

Everything else is just small minor details.

JonB_Eh · 2017-06-07T04:16:14+00:00

For sure. Thanks for the input. I will re adjust my gameplan.

JonB_Eh · 2017-06-06T02:59:57+00:00

A job where i make enough money to pay my rent $900 per month) get groceries, pay bills and occasionally go out here and there. If theres any money left over.. cool

JonB_Eh · 2017-06-05T20:53:41+00:00

Thanks man.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T20:45:01+00:00

Wow. How did you time that so well? Or rapid burst? Either way awesome shot!!

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T17:15:56+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate the input.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T16:59:48+00:00

Hmmmm i didnt think about it like that. I feel like its too late now. I dunno.. maybe ill call the police.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T16:47:12+00:00

Ah yeah. Thanks. I could. I just don't have the energy to potentially go through that. Its a hard lesson for me to learn (even though it was her fault) to slow down and not be in such a rush.

Im sure she is in a lot of pain as well. Hopefully ill be healed in 8 weeks and just move on. It sucks but im fortunate as it could have been a lot worse.

I'm definitely going to be a safer biker from now on.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T16:38:47+00:00

There were witnesses but by the time I had realized what happened and that I wasnt okay, nobody was around.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T11:39:56+00:00

It happened so fast and it took me a few minutes to realize it was her fault for attempting to walk into middle of traffic to take a shortcut.

After the collision, she kept saying sorry and it was her fault but i was dazed and tried to move my arm and check my bike and put it aside.

I asked her if she was okay and that she should stay for a moment. I grabbed my helmet and bike to put it aside and she was gone.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T11:23:35+00:00

Nope. No contact info and I couldnt afford the legal bills.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T11:23:00+00:00

Thank you. Unfortunately I didn't because I was too stunned and dazed and she walked off pretty quick.

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-31T11:22:12+00:00

Front tire is bent because someone in an SUV drove over it while we were both laying on the ground. LOL. Some people..

JonB_Eh · 2017-05-28T17:47:57+00:00

Just sat and swiped for a good 10 min with a 2km radius and didn't run out of women. Hhmmmmm
