Thank You People, From Me

I have been raised on a lot of music. Older, newer, every genre, musicals, Broadways, ect. Almost half of my High School classes were music classes, the Band side of things and the Orchestra side of things. I play the bass guitar, the piano, and percussion. I've been writing my own music for seven years now. Music is in my blood. I know music. I know what's good and what's crap. Music is subjective to a certain degree, but I think that anyone who knows music or has any kind of musical education can decipher what is quality and what is not. It has not been easy to find good quality modern music.....a song here and there stands out every now and then. For example Viva La Vida, Somewhere Only We Know.....With that said, let me just say Thank You to the following.

Thank you to these fine musicians

For this

and for using a FULL Orchestra. You don't know how happy I am to find Orchestration in modern music. Makes me want to cry.

Thank you to these guys

Thank you Discovery, for something new and refreshing and fun. I'm broadening my musical horizons once again and you make it easy.

And thank you to these old farts for still putting out music like this...

and this...

Thank you to all of the above for keeping the modern music industry honest and worthy, and for making me personally very very happy.

P.S. A bit of free advice from me to you - Don't listen to the radio. They ruin everything. I never listen to the radio. The radio makes you question your own good judgement and swayes your opinions in the wrong directions. Invest in an iPod. Best thing I ever bought.
