Just a question for those who are on it because of the shakuhachi. What is your Myspace expeince?

Peace, Perry

Hey Perry, I'm not THAT young, and you told me you liked those pictures I posted on your site!

It seems like Myspace is a necessary tool which you must do because everybody else does it or you will be at a disadvantage, similar to what normal websites were a few years back.

Advantages are cheap, user friendly, can get your music out to random people easily because of the way people browse among other myspaces. For example if you were in my "top friends" or vice versa people interested in one would check out the other.

What you say about pics is easily deflated simply by setting your security settings to allow you to preview and approve comments before they get posted.

One interesting fact is, I sell my CD's on CDBaby and they tell you how many people click coming from which website. Although myspace gets a lot of transient traffic more people are going to my CDBaby site from conventional web sites than from myspace. For example more people visit from Ken's www.mujitsu.com site than from his myspace. So the quality of the interaction may not be as good as that of a conventional web site.

That said, I think you should put one up because it's networking and you don't have to spend a lot of time maintaining it if you set your security properly. I can help you with that if you don't know how to do it. You can also use it to link to your www.yungflutes.com site. Slant should have one too. Make sure you start myspace MUSIC sites not regular myspace accounts because that allows you to post mp3's.

You can hear quite a bit of good music and shakuhachi on myspace. It's like a virtual press kit or calling card. I have even gotten gigs from that. Ronnie said he got a gig in Israel from myspace!

Well, you must be very good at Photoshopping!

Enough said!  I've never been to Israel
Thanks! Perry
