The big problem with the Albany music scene (or any music scene out of the area), that there is too much competition with other musicians & bands all over the place. It would be helpful if other musicians kept their negative opinions to themselves. Stop the jealousy and hate ’cause there’s a lot of it around here.

One way to make it a better music scene and one way to take your career to the next level, is to be helpful and supportive of other musicians. That includes supporting me, too.

This is how I’ve always been over the years. As you can tell, I’m very supportive and helpful with other musicians. Just my way of networking and just my way of promoting my own music. It’s just a good way to get yourself out there, networking with other musicians. Doesn’t matter the genre they play. I like the musicians that are the same way. Gladly to support everything, they will even support my music as well.

If you’re the type of musician that will bash other bands or venues publicly and if you’re the type who wants to think you’re better than everyone else, those are the kinds of musicians I wouldn’t want to associate with. Those are the kind of musicians who I will shut out of my life completely. You’ve seen it happen before.

The music scene should be supportive equally. Treat others how they would like to treat you. That is the mission that I have been trying achieve in these blogs for years, that’s the whole point. Try to end the drama and get everyone to support each other, but nope.

Some musicians will always have their head up their ass, thinking, they can be a negative nancy all they want to. No bashing, and no making fun of other musicians for laughs ’cause that’s all kiddie stuff.

Instead of destroying each others careers ’cause you don’t like each other, we should just get together and help each other out. Help each other get heard and help each other get success in music. Help each other reach our dreams and goals. Help me and others to achieve the same goals that you achieved, but nope. Nobody wants to do that.

There are some supportive and helpful musicians around that will be willing to help you, we just need more of it.
