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.

Well, new ones with an old school flavor. If
your a Van Halen fan like me, your remember all his red,
white, and black striped guitars on Van Halen I, or his
black and yellow striped one on Van Halen II and thereafter.
Eddie is now auctioning a number his new Art Series
Charvel's on eBay. A limited number are autographed
and hand striped by Eddie himself on will be auctioned on
eBay. Also, in the near future, the retail
versions of these guitars should be available in your local
