OK, so you arrived here via my twitter page, and want to know more?
Short version - I’m a musician, music teacher, blogger about musical things and the miscellany of life, web enthusiast and consultant/thinker about Social media and what all this web 2.0 stuff enables us to do that we couldn’t do before, particularly as it relates to creatives. (If you want me to come talk to your band/label/company/department/ school/church/local old folks coffee morning about Social Media-enabled conversations, drop me a line!)
Your best places to start finding out what I do are my blog (set aside a while, there’s a lot of it!), and the two places where I have FREE download albums available: Reverb Nation and Last.fm - that’s TWO WHOLE ALBUMS of music, completely free to download. It’s worth doing, honest, cos all this other nonsense is related to the music - that’s the centre of the wheel, the hub around which all the other stuffs rotates.
After that, you might want to talk more via the various social networks of which I’m a part - if you have a look at the links at the top of this page (underneath the CD buying links) you’ll see links for Myspace, facebook, last.fm, youtube and some other places. Youtube’s definitely worth a look, as there are some fun music vids there, as well as video blog stuff.
you can also find me on occasionally on Seesmic, lots of the time on Qik, Phreadz and 12seconds and may well bump into me at the Tuttle Club AKA the Social Media Cafe in London.
and don’t forget to check out the gigs page here on the site so you can come and see what I do when I’m not faffing about online.
Oh, and if I followed you first, the chances I found you cos you were chatting to someone else I follow and it seemed like I was listening to one side of a very interesting conversation. It may also have been that you added your twitter deets to the SMC web site, or I found you via something you tweeted about music… Whichever, it’s just that your feed looked interesting, so I’m checking it out - feel free to follow back or not!
If you followed me in the hope that I’d follow back and I haven’t, chances are that for a whole variety of possible reasons, there wasn’t anything in your twitter bio or recent tweets that made me want to follow you… The number of people I’m already following (600-and-something as I write this) is already functionally too high, so I’m only adding people that REALLY interest me. If I’m not following you, it doesn’t, of course, mean that you can’t reply to things, or ‘@’ me for specific things - that’s all cool, and if we get a conversation happening, it may well be that I end up following you. But please don’t be offended if I don’t. It’s honestly nothing personal, I assure you

Great, I mean REALLY great bass sound… I find your music very interesting… I wish you 100%!

I agree! The music category thing is strictly for marketing, filing or as you say for searching. After all these years, I cringe when people ask me what kind of music I play. I play MUSIC… I don’t like to say “jazz” as people form conclusions… I grew up w/Beatles, Who and Stones and love and am influenced by anything that makes a noise!
All the best
