Oversimplification, or just simplification?

This Video produced by the Digital Ethnography group at KSU has some really interesting things to say about cultural changes caused by web 2.0.

Coat tails

I recently played for WAZ sounds, the folk-pop artist from LA. It turns out, in the crowd was a blogger from Short and Sweet NYC.

Up at the top left hand corner you’ll see home, about and now sheet music. As I continue to host more music I’ll throw it there so it’s still easily accessible and you don’t have a to dredge through all the posts on this blog. Happy playing.
