Meade Sings

I have been in the "business" awhile, and here are some Pro tips for the younger folks who may be trying to get foot in the door of the music world. Whether it's just local, national, or otherwise,  I hope these tips may be of valuable use to someone who is trying to find their niche. 1.Don't Try Too Hard To be "Different" or "Original" Just being "different" for different sake, is not going to work long term. It may help as a gimmick, but people grow tired of this. Try to be authentic, and true to yourself. If you are a bit odd, that is fine. But don't try so hard to be "unique". It will look forced.

More Recordings Come soon, folks!  I am going back into the studio in the Spring to record some songs  with The Meadow Street Band. We will do some the favorites we play in our shows, as well as some of my original tunes. Songs that will be recorded this year include: -Some Christmas songs such as    "In A Humble Place" -"Say Yes"- A semi CC number I wrote a few years back -"Night Rider's Lament"- A Garth Brooks tune -"Love Is A Rose"- An MSB standard And my newer Pop Country tune "Let's Run Away". I have some other songs as well. I am planning to try and get my Christmas album vinyl release by Christmas 2019. Not sure, yet. If not, it will certainly be available by next year. It will be the continuation of "Christmas Joy"- with 12 Christmas songs for Yuletide Merriment and reflection!

You can find almost anything on You Tube. I reckon that's the beauty of it. In this clip, we see it's a birthday party, or tribute of sorts, to Elizabeth Taylor. The date is December 1st, 1977.  Many big and upcoming names in the business are there, including John Travolta, Paul Newman, Robert Blake, and others. The interesting thing about this clip is,  is that it's sort of  the last dying breath of Old Hollywood. Not that Hollywood was ever pure in any form, but there was a more dignified expression among the Stars of the previous Era. There is a more innocent feeling about this. It's when even in the secular world, people valued something more than just shaking the sheets. At this time in the 1970's, Hollywood had been rapidly changing for almost a decade, and the  old guard was passing away. The films were becoming more geared towards nudity and forms of smut. Perhaps Hollywood was always that way, and at this point the mask was slipping. None-the-less , midw
