On Music And Coffee

January 5, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | Comments Off on On Music And Coffee |

I will be publishing the articles that catch my eye today … promise … but I need some coffee … out with friends last night listening to … what else … fiddle music. You folks in Tennesse, Alabama and Texas have no idea how lucky you are … original music all the time … Alt country, Americana, Rock, Music Row Country, whatever. Here not so much … and its mostly cover songs. (Covering what else? Music Row songs)

Interestingly all of the local New England musicians I know tell me they have their own stuff … but people want to hear and dance to the cover songs and they, the musicians want to work so …

It’s a shame really … next time you hear a New England musician ask him or her to play one of their songs. Don’t worry … they’ll have one.

PS: Speaking of coffee, what’s up with Starbucks … you’re killing my retirement, guys.
