Full Sail - Real World
Education- Recording and Mixing. Live Sound. Careers. We received an
ad recently and thought it would be of interest to many indie musicians or
local bands in general. Basically there is a College in Winter Park
Florida named Full Sail and they offer accredited college courses on Recording
Arts, Show Production & Touring, Film, Game Design, and the Entertainment
Business in general. I wish I had known about schools of this
nature when I was looking for colleges. Seems pretty interesting. Check
out the link to their site above.

Book Review - The Indie
Bible - We have just reviewed 6th edition of the Indie Bible.
This in depth music resource book contains valuable information for indie
musicians in search of outlets for their music. The Indie Bible contains
over 4000 music industry resources for bands to submit their CD for review, and
over 3000 radio stations that may give your indie music some much needed
airplay. Each resource listing includes specific information including
genre of music the company prefers, or services provided by the resource.
Contained within are numerous music resources for bands including sites that
will upload MP3's, and music resources that give much needed indie music advice.
The text not only has North American indie music resources, but also lists
resources from other countries including Europe and Australia. The Indie
Bible covers legal aspects like copyright, royalty, and trademark information
that indie musicians need to know. The most interesting information this
book provides is to the songwriter or artist. This book is written from
the musicians perspective and has the tools to help you take charge of your own
music promotion, press kits, web site basics, and most importantly your music
career. We found the Indie Bible 6th Edition to be a wealth of information
and a must have for indie musicians of all genres. To find out more
information or to buy the Indie Bible Edition just

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster, some famous
guitarists played a for charity event in England. The concert in Wembley
Stadium featured Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), Joe Walsh (of The Eagles), and
Brian May (of Queen). The highlight of the evening was when David Gilmour
of Pink Floyd stepped on stage with his Fender Serial number 001 Strat.
David Gilmour owns the first Fender Stratocaster ever made. Pretty great
to see the first ever fender strat made, actually played 50 years later.
Check out the music article.
