Joni Mitchell On Tony Rose Shares Insights From Her Experiences

Joni answers questions about her childhood motivations here. To me her songs always offered great insight into life, while her musical lyricism was very inspirational. She went from a raw simplicity to very complex tonalities early on. Her tour with Pat Methany and Jaco Pastorius was a powerful wave on through to Amelia, probably because I saw her on stage several times during that period. I lived music then. Although the video was in 2008, it was prescient as she always has been a true philosopher. I agree with her accessment of what has happened in our country as her prescient vision has been amplified in the last few years!

Steve Winwood - Can't Find My Way Home

Traffic was an English rock band whose members came from the West Midlands. The group formed in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason.They began as a psychedelic rock group whose early singles were influenced by The Beatles, and diversified their sound through the use of instruments such as keyboards like the Mellotron, reed instruments, and by incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques in their music.

Struggling Teenager And A Welsh Laborer Share Their Hearts

And in a similar vein, out of Wales with Simon Cowell and a couple of other judges....Jamie Pugh sings 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserables on Britains Got Talent 2009.Jamie sings with his heart. I was once told to take the anxiety of performing and turn it into energy to use in my own singing. The resulting upward spiral of feedback with the audience was pivotal in my own stage fright anxieties. Jamie, here, seems to become immersed in his song and the drama of his physical expressions tap into his deep well of talent. Then there is Caroline (12), the French sensation of 2008. You can tell when someone is just copying a voice on a record and when someone really has made a song their own and they are in the moment with it. Such is the case with the young Caroline, like the Korean fellow above.

Katie Herzig - Making of The Waking Sleep

The recording "industry" has been turned inside out by the availability of having your own studio and the ability to market your own music in a way that seems like sharing in the village square. Facebook has added another dimension by enabling aspiring musicians and writers the ability to peel away the layers of the song writing process. This new freedom is a blessing because of the accessibility, but clearly shows the overwhelming aspects of risk versus reward. In the following video, we see Katie Herzig reveal personal aspects of her songwriting process.
