A Thank You Note To Musicians That are Finding my Google+ Site

Hello and Happy Friday everyone!

First and foremost let me start off by saying it's really cool that so many musicians are finding my Google+ site but there are a couple of changes...

I fought it and fought it but I had to do it because I'm getting many musicians asking to following me so I set up a new G+ account just for music. It's *gplus.to/myloveformusic* (yep, I broke my own rule saying I was just going to have ONE G+ account...dang it!!!) If you wish for me to check out your music please use that url instead of my personal one here (sorry for the inconvenience)

Now comes the hard part...although I dig different genres of music from time to time my main love is instrumental music. I dig Smooth Jazz, Traditional Jazz, instrumental Bluegrass, Ambient, Soundscape, and Downtempo/Lounge music. I really do not listen to vocal music unless a close friend online or offline recommends the artist (sorry).

With that said, there are plenty of sites, podcasters that would love to hear your music but my love for music is mainly instrumental.

Thanx for your interest. Have a Blessed, Safe, and Wonderful Day.

The Joy of Converting Cassettes : Chet Atkins - "C.G.P."

I know I have converted this cassette album numerous of times and each time I feel, "just one more take". This beautiful, relaxing, hypnotic by the late Chet Atkins, "C.G.P." (which means "Certified Guitar Player") is a treasure to have. To have a combination of jazz, bluegrass wrapped up in roll album is so cool. To me this 1988 release is a timeless recording. I really need to get this on CD but I just dig sitting back and just hearing the warmth of the cassette every time I play it.

The Joy of Converting Cassettes : Christopher Cross

 For me the cool thing about converting cassettes to mp3 is the fact that it makes me slow down and "listen" to the music. At this moment I'm converting Christopher Cross self-titled album. While converting the album it gives me time to search the web and read up on the artist and the process and thought on recording the album. I have always enjoyed reading the liner notes and now with the help of different sites from Wikipedia to All Music.
