The term ‘blog’ is a shortened form of ‘Web Log’. It was made famous by the anonymous ‘blogger’ of the Gulf War, Salam Pax, who gave his own version of the news from the perspective of someone on the ground in Iraq.
My Blog is remotely unlikely to ever attract that kind of interest or excitement. Yet, I’ve always wanted a spot that I could scribble down my thoughts on anything… so this blog is the place!
Be sure to check back from time to time to see what makes it into my blog!
I am pleased to announce that I have installed a new news system that will allow easy updates to the website. I’m very excited about it, as I had to install a perl script running on my server… and it worked first time!
Sorry if that bit of techno blurb was boring to you… but you can see one of the things that makes me tick!
One of my long term dreams since I first joined the Internet community in August 1995 was to have my own www site. Finally, this dream has come to fruition!
The main thing that drove me to finally register my own ‘dot com’ and design a site was that I was eager to have an ‘on-line’ vehicle for my music. Thus, it is true to say that the primary purpose of this site is to act both as a virtual ‘manager’ and virtual ‘demo tape’. My long-term goal is to provide my visitors with the opportunity to both read my words and hear a ‘demo’ version of my songs.
This has several goals. One is to provide a means by which you can listen to my songs and read my words before you ask me to come and sing and speak. Another goal is to provide those who have heard me live with a proto-CD, awaiting the time that, perhaps, I might release something on CD. This leads to a third goal. As a ‘virtual demo tape’, it is an opportunity for you to give me feedback on whether I should proceed with a professional recording and release of material on CD. Additionally, it will give details of when and where I am appearing, as well as provide information for those interested in asking me to come to sing and speak at an event.
Finally, the site will also give me a vehicle to publish some of my College essays on-line, as well as other things that I put to paper in the years ahead.
So, I hope you enjoy the site, and I look forward to keeping this beast up-to-date with lots of goodies.
