I've been watching her posts and attempts to build a following. It's slow and tedious work or it can be without management and agency backing. Her real opportunity at youtube is online sales of her songs. Advertising small gigs will help her build a following. I hope that she has a game plan.http://sessionmaster.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-everything-t-shirt-winners-announced.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Scott)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513772047920915952.post-3895895316252502582Sun, 21 Sep 2008 01:40:00 +00002008-09-21T18:28:40.247+10:00Steve Vai talks about his his first audition for the Zappa band.

What you can see above is the Nite Sounds duo (one of my business) performing our rendition of Van Halen’s "Jump" in a back yard party.I'm playing lead guitar and my very good friend Alan Harpley on vocals.And why not play for a private function?

We (our band) had an ad in a popular music magazine looking for a keyboardist. This was in the late 1980's or early 90's I can't remember but I sure remember that call."Can you play like Eddie Van Halen?" he asked, "sure!" I replied. "what do you want me to play?" I asked.
