About me:
GREAT WORLD OF SOUND.COM

Great World of Sound follows Martin(Pat Healy), as he applies for a job at a company training prospective music producers. During training, he teams up with another new employee, Clarence(Kene Holliday), a middle-aged man trying to change his career path. As they travel from town to town, the two "Record Producers" audition new talent found by ads placed in local newspapers by their employers, The Great World of Sound Recording Company. They're seeking new talent for their record label, giving artists a chance to let their music be heard... for a small fee. It's going great at first, but soon Martin and Clarence begin to question whether the company is as virtuous as it seemed to be in its' promise to deliver people their dreams.

The film evokes the image of the travelling salesman- a talent salesman- to address the increasing trend of people looking for a shortcut to fame, as well as examining the people who promise such an easy path-commenting that a scam artist rarely believes they are one, and that often the scam artist is being scammed himself.

Song-sharking is a pervasive music industry scam. A fly-by-night company places ads in newspapers luring aspiring musicians to an audition. At the audition, the song shark tries to sign the musician, whether they are good or bad. He then skips town with their money, leaving them with little or nothing in return.

To illustrate the tactics of this scam, the film was broken down into two parts: a conventional narrative and a more reality-style approach. Instead of casting actors to play auditioning musicians, the filmmakers placed ads in local newspapers, enticing real musical acts to audition, just like the shady company in the story.

The result: real people performed in the audition scenes without knowing it was a film shoot. With hidden cameras, the actual interaction between the lead actors and the musicians was recorded. This documentary-style process was integrated into the final product, creating a unique blend of fact and fiction that will expose audiences to the dubious nature of all undiscovered talent schemes.

Why does everyone seem to expect musicians to give away their art for FREE?
1. All those frustrating years of beginner music lessons...
2. Then, music theory classes at the College Conservatory
3. Advanced, independent study with talented, penniless guitar mentors
4. Hundreds of stages where we poured out our hearts, night after night
5. All those musical mistakes that brought us to where we are now
6.
Well intentioned supporters who’d say, "If you'd only .. you'd be a big success"
7. Club owners who've said "if you guys all dressed alike, I could charge more"
8. Lonely hours driving to towns, with names you couldn’t pronounce.
9. 1,000’s of $$$ we paid for high tech musical equipment so we can be heard
10. Horrible sounds systems we’d play through, where no one could hear us.
I'm telling ya'...we musicians have got to stick together.
CD’s are worthless if everyone can copy them for FREE

Radio stations are loosing out to iPods.
Is music a dying art form ?

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO THE GREAT WORLD OF SOUND

Happy birthday to a special friend!
Although I haven't known you many years,
Perhaps because you've dried so many tears,
Pleasure reigns as I these greetings send.
Your happiness should last till all things end!
Because you've been so sweet and understanding--
In toughest times you've made me laugh and smile--
Rejoice in your own specialness awhile:
This I'm not requesting but demanding!
How else to make yourself the celebration,
Doing what does not come naturally?
Always your concern has been for me,
Yet now you must endure my adoration!
