Re: Art VS. Commerce (or how I learned to stop worrying and love reverb)

Joe K. (norcalhodad) - 09 Oct 2005 17:42:04

Hey Danny,
I don't think I really have any advice, but there probably is a balance between
being an
artist and being a performer/entertainer. How much compromising can you live
with?
As an audience member I do enjoy a good version of a favorite cover tune, but am
more
blown away and inspired by good originals.
Musically, I guess I am not willing to make compromises. Being a one man band
gives me
lots of space for creative expression though. Actual excerpts from recording
sessions...
"Tremolo on the bass?", good idea Joe!
"More fuzz Boss?", you go, boy!
"Too fast, Chief?" Not a prob, Sparky!
"Big gig tonite?" Um, Dude, I don't think so.
"Do the chickens have large talons?".
Just one example of blending originals with a semi-obscure fave cover.
I know, I'm lame.
