How might one spot an artist who is an industry plant ? Well, here may be a few things that seem suspicious? This is by no means definitive, or scientifically accurate, just our opinion; and opinions about music, like any other artform is subjective. None of these being a positive indicator, but…. We are not suggesting who is or is not, simply based on these. [but like many things, the more boxes being checked….] 🔲 Nepo Baby --  Rich kid / rich parents, close friends or relatives inside (or accociated with) the record / entertainment industry 🔲 Instant success 🔲 Going viral with first song posted to social media 🔲 Awards, awards, ... 🔲 Excessive number of followers / subscribers within a short period (even before actually being famous or popular) 🔲 Excessive amounts of airplay on commercial broadcast radio (AM / FM) — Do you hear their songs multiple times throughout the day, everyday, week after week, … after month, … years (?!)  Now for a bit of reality check: It takes years to

All to often Christianity is associated with the facade of a normal society, that often frowns on what it considers to be abnormal. However, in my opinion, Christianity is not typical in a modern society, nor has it been in any of the previously so-called normal societies. Some will say that, in the U.S. a majority of people identify as Christian (that's identify), but one can identify as anything. That doesn't necessarily make it so. And fewer people seem to be identifying as Christians, even in the U.S. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective), I don't think the percentage of actual Christians in any general society is anywhere near the numbers often suggested. Usually, when anything is considered normal, that is what the masses tend to identify with. For years, in many countries (including the U.S.) Christianity was associated with a normal society. So, the masses, wishing to fit in identified as such. So, don't mistakenly identify Christians w

We really like the feature on YouTube, which gives us the ability to spotlight other people's songs and music that we like (not that any of them really need it). Showing some of our tastes in music (or lack thereof). With so many versions of some songs, we often wait to find one we really like (or like the best) before adding any. But we do occasionally swap some, or add more than one version. We prefer to list the official versions on the official channels, but sometimes that is more difficult than practical (at least for us). We do have a few self-imposed rules that we usually apply for thing we add to the lists. Which some would admittedly (and perhaps rightly) call stupid. Not that it effects what we like, watch or listen to ourselves. However, the rules can (and does) at times go out the window (being completely ignored) if we find something we really like, regardless of the content. 1 strong language (or at least excessive) --- we get it, sometimes it adds the extra kick in

In the past, on my various web sites, I have neglected to give the proper credit to God. I believe that all my creative ability, be it music, writing, creating web related stuff (as basic as it may be), or anything else, comes from God. Admittedly,  I know that not everyone feels the same about their own abilities, talents and achievements (that is okay). I am aware that others have their own ideas about religion and deities. --- This just happens to be my opinion.
