I guess it didn’t help that they were sharing the hall with a direct marketing expo, but the feeing that one was in the […]

Thanks to this post on lovely Valerie Gonyea’s blog, I’ve found very cool quote from this great post by Seth Godin:
“Here, it’s simple:
You can contact just about anyone you want. The only rule is you need to contact them personally, with respect, and do it months before you need their help! Contact them about them, […]

One of my favourite things about going out to NAMM each January is getting to see Lee Sklar - if you’re a bass player you obviously already know who he is. If you’re not a bassist, you might recognise Lee as the guy that played bass with James Taylor and Phil Collins who looks like […]
