shindignation	Feb 4 2008 4:06 AM Glad you like the tunes. For more info on Lloyd Thaxton go here: http://www.lloydthaxton.blogspot.com/
All The Tea In China	Feb 4 2008 3:36 AM Nice tuneage... thanks for adding us to the Shindig Nation! Wasn't Lloyd Thaxton the host of the TV show "Shindig" in the late 60's?
SQUEEZE (Official)	Jan 31 2008 1:29 AM Wonderful to meet so many old friends and make new ones... Chris & Glenn SQUEEZE www.squeezeofficial.com The Official Squeeze Web Site
The Silver Brothers	Nov 14 2007 5:01 PM Congrats! on your review in World Voice News. www.worldvoicenews.com John
Nina	Oct 23 2007 3:58 PM I figured out how to rate songs and post song comments. It turns out that my pop up blocker/virus program was blocking the comments page but I have it fixed now! Nina
Nina	Oct 23 2007 3:28 PM But how does one come up with a hook? I guess that's where talent and a gift for music come in! I am wondering why on your page in the top right hand corner where I play your songs that the comments and rating and all that doesn't seem functional. I would like to see more pictures on your page of you writing and working in the studio and playing instruments and pictures of the lead singer on latest cd. I know, I know who has time for all that! Have you seen a difference in volume with your song's nomination? Nina
shindignation	Oct 20 2007 5:15 PM The hook of the song is what catches the ear of the listener... sometimes it's the chorus, sometimes the bridge. Here's a couple of hooks ... We all live in a yellow submarine.... The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind... Here comes the sun.... and so on
Nina	Oct 20 2007 10:50 AM Scott: Please tell me more about the hook. Nina
shindignation	Oct 16 2007 8:49 AM I get my ideas anywhere where I'm not near an instrument. I write the tunes in my head. Paddy McAloon from Prefab Sprout and Rufus Wainwright are two lyricists I really enjoy. For music, I listen to jazz, bebop, bigband, so, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, etc. So there's a jazz influence in my music. My songs start as non-fiction but they spin off into a fiction life of their own. So real events inspire me, and then it takes off from there. I usually think of the hook first, and work backwards, although I've come up with a verse first and then had to work from there.
Nina	Oct 14 2007 10:20 AM Scott I would comment about how/where/when you do most of your song writing. What inspires you? Who are your favourite lyricists? How long does it take to write a song? What is the process? Do you have some lyrics in mind first or a melody? How has being a father and husband contributed to your music? I'd love to know more about that. Nina
Nina	Oct 10 2007 12:13 PM You should comment that you are pretty, talented, a great mother, wife, cook, singer, musician, writer, music engineer, sister & friend! A real renaissance person with shin splints! Nina
