I love music and telling stories. I love all the great rockers: The Smiths, Wilco, R.E.M. Radiohead, Sun Kil Moon, Jason Grey and Mercyme.
I believe music is being able to tell a story before an audience while using music or rhythmic sounds or sounds that sound musically constructed or emotionally and honestly expressed.
To be heard before many people. I want to be able to express my music and be known. I want my songs heard.
No war.

God and God's people. Also. the public's awaiting ears.
Honesty.
I feel a mixture of feelings before an audience. Sometimes I don't feel good enough, and sometimes I feel at home. At times, I feel I could be genius and at other times I feel poetic or humorous or dramatic. Depends on the audience.
There seems to be a competition to be the best or most famous. Honesty or sincerity to the expression of song.
Great. It is a great way to communicate with other musicians. I don't see many famous musical acts on the site. It's a people's people site, or a musician's musicians site. Greatness.
I don't read music. I only read tablature and go by ear. I can site read vocal music, but I can not write music yet.
Yes. I belong to the Dallas music scene. I do know people in the Austin local scene. Also, the Fort Worth scene is growing in more of an alternative way. Also, the punk scene has been big in Deep Ellum for awhile. Texas has a big scene.
Originality helps. The best quality is just honesty and skill. Skill helps people become excited and entertain, while honesty speaks to their heart. It is a balance between skill and honesty of expression.
