Kurt Vonnegut is an all time favorite of mine. His sense of humor is understated but so on point, and he just seemed to understand the world around him better than a lot of people, especially at that time. Good to see there is still stuff t

In regards to the "off topic" comment, I would submit that this sort of thing happens all the time in the startup community with ideas, design, code, etc. It's interesting to see how it plays out and how both parties handle it.

This actually makes a lot of sense. It hadn't dawned on me that I was looking in the wrong places. It's funny, but I've been to programmer user group meetings where all I met was idea guys looking for programmers. It's like a bunch of teena

After reading about this yesterday, I found myself going through the catalog of Apple products at my house. Some are old and not used anymore, but at 15 Apple products in a household of 2, it's no wonder they are the biggest company in the

Cool idea. Would be nice if you programmed a few songs based on those chords and roughly timed them out. Sometimes it's more hunti feel like you are playing a song. Another thing you could do is add a finger chart that shows the chord layou

I wish you the best of luck but how do you plan on contending with some of the large stock music sites? I won't give names. Are you going to open up to other composers to sell through your service?

I enjoyed this post. It's actually refreshing to hear that not everyone hits it big and that's okay sometimes. I'm in a similar situation. As much as I read about the glorious successes and the spectacular failures, its important to also

I like seeing this data charted out. For hardcore musicians, it's probably pretty common knowledge, but it's interesting to see it in chart form. It actually makes we want to try writing some things avoiding the most common progressions to
