Ok,
so life's tough and then you die, right? Hold
on a minute there Sparky, not so fast! Lot's
happens to you on your way from the comfort
and security of the cradle, to that final paid
gig at Bernie's Bar and Grill. You know the
place...it's that dive with the three wide screen
TV's and the two pool tables at the other end
of the dance floor
AARP has a new free music service that provides
a variety of music you can tailor to your own
tastes. The service is called “AARP JukeBox”
and is powered by Pandora. The web address is
www.aarp.org/fun/music
Launched in October 2007, the service is available
to anyone. I’ve set up my own channel for
blues and classical music and the service works
great. Once you set up the channel, it will continue
to play music in the genre selected.
Welcome
back! If you are joining us for the first time, take
a look around. We are constantly developing and improving
the Mature Musician site to better serve our members.
Remember it’s FREE to register.
We’re all very excited to announce the first Mature
Musician T.V. show. It was a lot of fun making the half
hour program and we will be producing at least one show
a month. The MM Show is taped in Berkeley CA and features
(what else?) mature musicians (MMs) from the San Francisco
Bay Area. It is currently airing on two local cable
channels with more coming soon. You can see
the video intro to the show below.
If you live in the San Francisco East Bay Area, let
us know if you are interested in appearing on the program.
If you would like to see the show in your area, please
let me know how to contact the local cable provider.
Songs performed on the show can be seen on our new You
Tube page called (what else?) Mature Musician. Just
go to www.youtube.com/maturemusician
to see fellow MMs playing music.
We are seeking music video performances for our MM play
list on You Tube. Please send us your video clip and
we’ll be glad to include it. There are only two
requirements for inclusion:
1. The featured performer must be over the age of fifty
or
2. The majority of the band or group must be over fifty.
We are also introducing a new section on the site called
“Drummer’s
Corner” that features interesting articles
and observations from two MM drummers, Frank India and
Bob Ryken. They have a wealth of experience and we are
looking forward to enjoying their writing for a long
time to come. If you would like to submit stories or
article for any of the sections of the MM site please
send me a note to editor@maturemusican.com
