I said I would deliver this to you in February. It was mostly true. But there were a few “issues”. In my initial post where I asked for the input of other musicians, I didn’t define the parameters enough. In the process of receiving your vast, insightful input, I discovered that there is a significant [...]
I’ve started to “curate” a pool of musician resources that I hope you’ll appreciate. Click the images to read more. Playful blessings, Stan
In February, 2012, I will post an article/review about online musician services. I’ve looked at a few of them myself, but it would be impossible for me to check out all of them, so… I need your input.

As much as we musicians and other artistic/creative folk might sometimes like to ignore it, branding is an incredibly important part of our marketing. It might be as simple as choosing a “quirk” that will allow us to be just that much different from other musical acts or getting photos of our art uploaded to [...]
I’ve had a voice on Twitter and Facebook for a while now. So, when it came time to “choose” a new business name, it came naturally to use my social media moniker of “muz4now™”. This play on words was something that I came up with as a shorthand for many of the things that I [...]
