Inspiring Musicians of Ogden Utah

Inspiring the Musicians of Ogden Utah.

 

Not confessing to be an export about any of the things I am writing about; these writings actually capture my theories and will show how successful my efforts will be as I lay out plans to show what results we find along the way. I will attempt to document both the things that work and the things that don’t; so that the other aspiring musicians of Ogden can use this however they see fit; even if it is only use by the musicians of Ogden Utah as an example of what not to do or to laugh at what could turn out to be some strange fail-blog.

 

My wife is one of the most talented singers I have witnessed, her voice is like a hybrid mix of reggae and blues, she is now learning how to play the guitar and she learns very fast So fast she has all ready started performing at open mic’s  and private parties.

 

 Lisa Mac (my wife) is the subject of this posting, and these will be about the road she takes to stardom. We will be documenting clearly. Hopefully later this can be used to help show more of the Ogden aspiring artists: what to do to start from nothing except for hope and talent, and make an American dream come true. However at the very worst; maybe this project will show people what not to do to get your name out there and succeed.

 

First of all as a sales man I know that in this capitalistic world a product is needed. Lisa Mac is the product. Using what we know about fan bases and internet keyword research we will try and build up an identity of immensity using what we learn here and mixing it with her natural god given talent.  Now Lisa has been working hard to be this product and has written several songs that can be found by clicking 4 a Sample Lisa Mac so help is out and click it! Leave a comment and listen to the music a bit.

 

 

Second thing; we need to find some places to showcase “Lisa Macfarlane, the product” and somehow we need to build a strong following for “Lisa Macfarlane, The product”. We know to build a net presence you need a recognized brand.

The third step is to asses the progress, I will need to start over and try something that works and/or continue doing the things we know work

Becoming parents of musicians

Becoming Parents of Musicians

Parents of musicians aspiring for greatness should already know a few things about their aspiring musicians. You have to know what kind of music they like, you also with need to know what they pacifically like about music, you need to know weather your kids think your opinion is cool and respectable or droll and rejectable. If you are cool in your kid’s eyes then you already know what kind of music they like and what instrument your future musician is interested in.

Parents of musicians who are not consider cool in your child eyes well, hmm, ok I mean who is to say why that is, who's to blame for it, or even how you can know for sure. I guess each person knows for them selves if their little aspiring musicians think they are cool or not, but if your not cool that does not mean you need to stop being a good parent. The best part about being a good parent is you get to use your weaknesses as greatnesses and even if you’re the only one who will understand how cool reverse psychology is for years to come; All you un=hipsters can still do a lot to be the truly awesome and inspirational parents of musicians you have in you to be. 

To the parents of aspiring artists: I say BEWARE!  while I am no stranger to the hip hop development and will go on to say quite judgmentally; there is no music for scrounging up drugs like the hippity hoppity womanizing trash; that is pumped out of a self named owner's overpriced computer, some things about hip hop should be taken into consideration by the parents of musicians.  

Now keep in mind I say hip hop atracts drugs with no sport or tolerance to the hip hop culture. Thats just me I mean there are even those who disagree and say that digital beats and rhythms are as much as musical art as where some symphonies composed of instrumental orchestras. While I don’t really agree with all of that noise, I really don't support the paranoid, buy gold teeth now and the instantly gratified sexual messages that the hip hop culture of today seems to effortlessly push; hip hop music is a great way to get children excited about the technical world displacing our old world right before our eyes. What way is better to help fortify our children to the society of tomorrow that will most likely be completely integrated with computers. I know what your thinking… “Whatever Mrs. Jones you're  just saying that because its cheaper to buy a child a copy of  some beatporgram then a piano or guitar” right? And while a beatporgram  is much cheaper then other forms of musical conveyance coming into American homes these days the reason I love it is for the head phones. 

There is a lot of choices for parents of musicians but part of being a good parent is listing to your child about their interests and goals. Don’t let money stop you from talking about it. Use every tool you can to help motivate you child. To be a aspiring musicians parent you can simply inspire and respect you little artist's dreams.
