agreed! I'm afraid one is replacing the other but I think there is a healthy way to celebrate both together.

Ya, you guys are right to a certain extent. I guess I have been thinking lately about Christmas and its original meaning. Christ+mass was a time of worship to commemorate the birth of Christ. But as of late, American culture has tried to overshadow that with commercialism, changing "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays". I've been thinking that if people don't celebrate the Christ in Christmas...then maybe they shouldn't say they celebrate Christmas. Maybe they should say they celebrate famiily and friends or something. What do you think?

yes! but I admit, its just fun to ask questions. ha! And asking music questions is a great way to network with other musicians :)

I've never heard of them before. I will most definitely check it out. Thanks!

I'm currently doing music full-time in Pgh and getting my name out there. I want to continue full time and really just get my music out there. Its always an uphill battle when people arent familiar with your name, but I've established myself pretty well in Pgh.

Thanks! Please add me if you have a myspace. I'd love to check out your stuff!
