Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or the other, but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or moving it out into the world (commonly called “marketing”) -- or both. We think we are not good enough, our work is not good enough, we lack enough talent or imagination or commitment, we can’t trust the future, we need more ambition and drive, and on and on. We cannot get beyond our fears and start doing our artistic work full-out and then putting our work out there for other …

Creativity is an expression of life.  It is a form of communication, as important as spoken language, but all too often we are cut off from this part of ourselves. We are encouraged to draw, paint and dance as children, but as adults we are told that these endeavors are secondary to more practical concerns. Nothing could be further from the truth.  Our ability to transform concepts, ideas, stories or life experience into images, objects, sounds and movement is essential to a full and rich expres …

My name is Nick Thorpe and I've been in a band for about four years and I play guitar, vocals, and write songs. I left that band when I moved to New York and have since been writing. I now have around 15 songs written and ready to play but need other musicians. To be specific a drummer, bass player, and possibly another guitarist. I already have some connections for venue promoters so I would want to start playing gigs as soon as possible. I'm excited to meet anyone who joins this group and can' …

This is a group for people who like to sit around and sing the rock and folks songs from the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s with several other treats thrown in. I have sung and played guitar over 50 years, know thousands of songs, play by ear, have played at endless parties where people sing along and have a good time. Also talked my way into a Beatles press conference. Probably best for those who don't need a song book or lyrics - just sit around sing what we remember, listen, have fun and meet like …

Writer’s Block: Is It Real? Why do we want to write but find ourselves unable to do it? Perhaps it is as simple as this: We are simply having a thought -- a thought like: I don’t have the time. It won’t be any good. I’ll just quit anyway. I always do. No one will like it. I don’t feel like it. It’s too hard. I need to feel moved to write. I need to be inspired. There will be no pay off. I am no good at it. Not really. Others are better at it than I am. I’m too tired. I need to watch TV or check …

This is a group focused on the business aspect of music.

We will discuss copyrights, publishing, royalties, and various other aspects of the music industry.
