Child Protectrice, Beth Rude, The Goddess Sathya Sai Baba Forgot
2011-06-28 01:50:00 Beth Rude. By Barry Pittard. 2011. I wonder if you ever knew That sweet old lady they call Beth Rude With her steady gaze and a cutting phrase Did she ever gaze at you? Was she ever rude to you? But she's never rude to kiddies, who Come racing up to her And even kids who are the wildest With her become quieter And the kids who are the timidest Learn to build their fire from her ......................
Sathya Sai Baba ? The Man Who Would Be ?King of Kings?
2011-04-27 01:30:00 From November 1975, continuing until October 1999, I was inspired by a series of remarkable situations to become a devotee of a Sathya Sai Baba. In early 1978, he asked me to teach at his college at Whitefield, via Bangalore,South India. My words below suggest a little of the intense nature of that connection and what became of it twenty-five years later, as evidence counter to my assumptions, and from the testimony of many credible witnesses from of countries around the world, and then large documentation of his many failed predictions and promises of healing, became ever more compelling. A song can sometimes be a better vehicle of such deep experiences and ideals than many prosaic explanations. Should any former devotees, or others, relate to the content, I shall be happy, once they have clearly identified themselves, to send the music, which, though original, is redolent of a long British Isles folk tradition.
No Friend In Sight Song
2009-12-31 00:49:00 I haven't finished my holiday yet. A reader here or there may kindly deign to indulge me. A character in one of my pieces of writing is spring-stepping along forest floors, thinking that at least the local flora and fauna and swaying canopy of leaf and of cloud are all heeding. He is still in raggedy clothing but ridiculously happy with an inner glow that the wise of the world can't beat out of him, rather like a transformed Tom Waits (of which biographical word is that, by courtesy of a loving wife and three children he, likewise ridiculously, is his state these days). This wayfarer sings:
The Best Versions Of My Life, According to Singer/Songwriters.
2009-05-13 16:48:00 It's a SemiDaily List!I was driving home from Milwaukee yesterday, rocking out to the plethora of songs on my iPod (and by rocking out, I mean "singing along with Springtime For Hitler from The Producers) and on came the song Lily, Rosemary & The Jack of Hearts by Bob Dylan. You, like me, probably know the song by heart:So I was then singing along with that, and I began thinking (always a bad sign) and what I began thinking was everyone is always thinking about what their life would be like as a movie, and who would play them, but nobody ever thinks "what would my life be like if it were a song by Bob Dylan?"Nobody until me that is. Then I broadened out my thinking -- in part because I had nothing else to do, since I'd already eaten the apple I'd brought along for a snack -- and wondered what would my life be like if it were a song by some other guys who write songs about people?And then I thought I bet that'd be a good way to waste about 3 hours at work tomorrow morning w...
Songwriters: Who?s Your Favorite Unsung Hero?
2008-05-24 18:30:00 Without songwriters, we wouldn’t have any songs, but they hardly receive the recognition they deserve for the contributions they make. We have the greats that are obvious like Harlan Howard, Cindy Walker, and even Hank Williams that are hard to pass up–and they really aren’t all that lacking in the accolades–so let’s limit this to ...

Attention All Aspiring Singers, Songwriters and Artists!
2008-02-27 02:43:00 I just read one of the most inspiring blog posts from a singer who is making her way in the world. She has CD's out and she is touring!Many times I have advised those that want to be singers or actors that they have resources available to them that are right in front of them but they just don't see it!There have been many aspiring artists who have decided to just pack up and move to Hollywood or New York hoping to have a career right away (and unfortunately a lot of them end up on the streets)No matter where it is you live you have the makings of starting your own career as an artist. Just look at Myspace.com! MySpace even has it's own recording label! There have been some artists who have gotten recording contracts strictly on the basis of their music on their myspace page.Computers have become so sophisticated now that one can record their own CD (and sell it!)One of the things that fascinates me so is that one artist won a grammy for music that he produced entirely on the ...

Country Singer/Songwriters Are Hot Investments
2008-01-07 17:34:00 When someone starts talking about IPOs and investing my eyes gloss over, but if you have some money to blow, I mean invest, then country music is apparently a hot commodity. And by “some money,” I mean a minimum of $500,000. Country singer/songwriters are the single hottest investment property you can find in 2008. A new ...

Stealing From Musicians and Songwriters is a Crime
2007-09-20 13:42:00 Those into the iPhone are excited about the new ring-tones that have been released by Apple and for only for? 99-cent and you actually own it!? I?m not a big ring-tone guy.? I?m not into calling attention to myself in public by answering my phone. But I have to admit, I think it?s a cool thing and I?m glad that Apple?s done it. They?re also incredibly cheap. You buy the song for 99 cents, and then for 99 cents more you can download the song turned into a ring-tone. Or, if you own the song you still only have to pay 99 cents to turn the song into a ring-tone. That?s not much money. I don?t mind. It?s actually much cheaper than anywhere else, if the truth be told. But there is a snake among these roses! But here?s what really aggravates me. I?ve just learned that Apple wanted to forgo the 99-cent charge that it takes to turn the song into a ring-tone, but the RIAA wouldn?t allow it. They must charge the 99 cents and that 99 cents goes directly to the record label and none of...

Pearl Picks: Fabulous Femme Songwriters
2007-08-07 15:57:00 Hi fellow SJ readers! I just wanted to let you know about three new female artists that you may want to check out:Colbie Caillat - Coco$9.99 (was $10.99-- save 9%!)Available at: Amazon.comColbie Caillat is a 22 year old singer-songwriter from California and her debut CD, Coco (left), is getting a lot of buzz. Her music has a very light, breezy, and simplistic quality to it, and she is often compared to Jack Johnson or Norah Jones. Music critic Bob Lefsetz, of the music industry blog The Lefsetz Letter, captures her CD perfectly: "Just imagine driving up PCH with the top down, letting the music wash over you. That's what this sound is about. For that respite when you're carefree, before school goes back into session." He claims that her single "Bubbly" is "truly a breath of fresh air... fresh Malibu ocean air," and I definitely agree. Coco has been the top downloaded album on iTunes for the past couple weeks so check out her music and find out what the buzz is about!? My faves - Ox...

2007-07-26 23:07:00 The word is out that certain singer/songwriters are not the songwriters they claim to be. The Washington Times has a 2-page expose on the practice of singers stealing songwriting royalties because that's where the real money is made."If you're an unknown songwriter and you are lucky enough to get on a superstar's album, and you know that the song is going to be a single," Ne-Yo says, "and it means if it becomes No. 1 everyone is going to know your name because you wrote it, I think it's worth giving up a piece of publishing ... you are going to make your money back."That shouldn't be the case, Miss [Dianne] Warren says. Although she had credit taken from her early in her career, she quickly put a stop to it. Later, one major superstar demanded some of her royalties for the privilege of said superstar recording her song. Miss Warren refused."You want some publishing? OK then, give me a piece of the money you're making touring for the next five years for the hit I just wrote you...
