While I've been as busy as I want to be working on my inventive semi-solid-body electric guitar,
not using constraints of my own manufacture,
this isn't about a link to a performance or recording, even if it's the start.
I'm also hoping to be entertaining and informative, if you want to be.
A friend wrote a university thesis using Kijiji as a social study, how I started looking at it this way.
Yeah, try looking at major American cities to see very little musician activity, for an easy example.
When my inventive guitar was setting records for replies and views on music forums,
when those records didn't exist, I decided to use Kijiji, being a local boy and trying here first.
I wanted to let everyone see the build and hear about international responses,
along with public exposure for criminals and politics that couldn't be deleted.
I made an easily recognized avatar with a guitar photo, asking about buying parts I was making myself.
After two weeks I could put up an update, deleting the previous one,
and get over 300 views in under 24 hours, hearing about it in public too.
I got very few replies, sometimes none, usually compliments.
That's what I'm now doing for a new band that asked me to front for them.
We are looking for another member because I don't want to be a trio.
Not just me, look around and what instruments and equipment are for sale,
what the prices are, and what musicians are asking for as talent.
The Niagara Peninsula, St. Catharines to be specific, is the global home of commercial electricity,
what was built before engineers thought they could tackle the mighty Niagara River,
and you might be surprised to see what people throw away around here,
never mind trying to sell it for very few dollars.
Even the Regional garbage trucks have a policy about musical equipment that's tossed out,
separating them to give them to registered music stores and charities.
Yeah, that might sound like a heartbreaker,
just like all the musical plastic wireless debris that broke the heart of the live music scene in North America.
Part of our band mission is to redefine all that, as you can see, if you want to.
Magle dot dk is still first, my online release for all new musical things,
the only music forum I have logged into for the last four years.
This won't change, even if I'll be building a domain for the band myself.
Why? Because this is still where the best music and forum friends are.
Please, look for "community", "artists and musicians", to find "musician wanted-update",
using this same guitar and Jimi Hendrix avatar I made for here.
