John Snyder...yes! What a cool guy. First of all, his website, artistshousemusic.org is such a good idea and very useful. I will most likely use it and continue to for the rest of my career. It's cool that he's getting McNally onto his website, but for me, it sucks because everything cool happening (i.e. Ron Sobel) is happening after I leave. I just wish this was something that would have been thought of while I was still here. But maybe I will have a better rep. when I get out of here with all the incoming folk and cred than I would have...I'm right on the cusp of everything happening so I could just get lost in the whole timeline thang.
Anyway, John Snyder, unlike a few of the other speakers we've had in class, made me actually excited to go out and pursue music instead of scaring the crap out of me and wondering why I am doing music in the first place. This industry is ours for the taking. We just have to take advantage of the free opportunties out there for us "cheap folk". You bet your ass I will take advantage of it...I just recently broke down and joined Twitter. I still have no idea what to do with it/how to work it/what it's for, but he told me to, so I did. He is a pretty smart man, and by pretty, I mean VERY.
I'm excited to graduate. Bring it on real world. I'm gonna make it...I'm gonna make it far.
