I will hopefully be driving back to Manzanillo sometime in Dec. or Jan. and will be going through Guadalajara(spent 3 days there this April, what a beautiful city) and am lookin for bars or restaurants that have live music geared towards the Americans/Canadians or students of the university living/staying there.
I am a musician and play a lot of Texas singer/songwiter stuff. Robert Earl Keen, Jack Ingram, Hayes Carll, Todd Snider, Jimmy Buffett etc. etc. Any help out there would be appreciated. Mexico and it’s people are about as nice as it gets, in my opinion, Adios, ol’ Puddin’head

people like pat matheny and chick corea ect, yeah,, know it all kind, but do they,,,ohhh look how clever they are,, but realy you can chop their notes around, cut here edit there, splice here add there, and its all the same mess sound as it has no meaning other to take and use time up, well not mine.They even need to write it down, now come on, when have real stars like Marc Bolan or real Jazz musicians like Pete Townsend ever needed to write notes, as tthey had REAL FEEL
anyway real jazz should raise the dead, not kill the living

What is it all about?

Mine would be entitled “Hendrix”

is there a website with a lot of concert dates of musicians/artists?

What songs mean the world to you, or have a really significant meaning to your life?

Mine would have to be “Cartwheels and Summersaults” by Justin Roberts (he’s not that popular, but he’s a kids musician…. you can listen to the song on itunes)
the song is mostly about his little sister, and the chorus goes-
Because you’re worth it, maybe more,
and now we’re doing cartwheels, and summersaults,
and it’s all your fault, yeah it’s all your fault,
and you we love, (mama can i hold her)
you we love (let’s put her on your shoulders)
it’s you we love

and the song makes me cry every time i listen to it cuz i remember being 10, and my parents telling me i was getting a little sister, and being so depressed, thinking my parents wouldn’t love me as much, but when she was born, i loved her so much, and she means the world to me, so the song means the world to me…
what songs mean the world to you?

thanks
btw, sorry for the long question lol

I hate my parents. I hate my family. Especially my dad. He always gives me crap about how in his time blah blah blah. Then when I try to prove my point he tells me to shut up and yells at me. My mom always agrees with my dad on things like this (mostly). She never makes her own decisions. Whenever I ask her something or ask to go somewhere she always says: Ask your father. My parents always compare me to my older brother, which angers me soo much. Then when I ask how come _______ never has to do this?” or “Where’s ______?” they get mad and say, “just do it and shut up” or something. I know my brother’s a drug dealer. They know too. But I know its not that because they know my brother’s a drug dealer they get mad at me…I think its because they think he’s better? I don’t know if that made sense but he always gets more freedom than me, not just because he’s older, he has always got more freedom then me even when he was my age. They say its because I’m a girl. Isn’t that sexist? I can’t go to my friend’s cottage, but my brother went to his friend’s cottage when he was 10. Seriously it’s not fair. They know my brother’s a drugdealer and he still has more freedom. When my dad screams at me I get filled with rage and unhappiness…sometimes I cry. He then says he’s sorry and gives me something like a gift or money. I think he thinks that he can make me happy like that. But I hate that. That’s like the worst thing, but what’s even worse is that I always take it and never say anything. I hate myself for that. Why can’t I stand up to him? My mom always complains to my dad that I never to her. But I do…sometimes. Whenever I talk to her she always makes a big deal about and tells my dad or brings it up in another convo even though I tell her not to bring it up again or tell anyone. That bugs me. Also, my dad is an architect. He wants me to be one to, but I’m not so sure about that. He always brings up how math is like the most important thing and that with math you can have any career. I asked what about musicians, he responded that you don’t need to study anything with being musician. I actually would like to be in the music industry. I think that you need to study life, the things around you, experience the good and bad side of life to be create great music and lyrics, to be a musician. He always brings up the topic of what I want to be when I grow up, or what I like better: letters or numbers. I say I don’t know to both. He gets mad because I always say I don’t know or I’m not sure, but seriously…I don’t fricking know, I’m in middle school! I am also quite shy…well very shy. Some people im so comfortable with being so weird, but other people I fear they won’t like me because I’m so weird, and I want them to like me. I think this is because my parents always overprotected me, and as a child most things were done for me, I was too scared to do some things by myself. I have never told anything all of this, sometimes I feel so unnoticed. I need a friend who I can tell anything, someone who lives near me and can meet me somewhere at night just to talk, someone who can listen to me, I know I would do the same. Most of my close friends (well all my close ones) at my school are older than me, so they’ll be leaving and I don’t believe I’ll have a close friend that can understand and except my weirdness next year. It’s really sad. What do you think about this?
Well, they’re not against my interest in music, but my dad would prefer if i would follow in his footsteps because he thinks it would be easier with him being an architect and all. I am not going to be someone like my brother because im not stupid enough to do that.

I can not consentrait on anything for very long without getting board. The only movies I can watch are scary movies because you always have to keep your watch. I really don’t have the attention span to sit down and read a book, or listen to a cd, or even watch an old movie. I am a musician myself, and yet I get board while im in the middle of writing a song. I dropped out of highschool because I just could not sit in a seat for 6 hours listening to teachers and do work. I don’t have a job right now because of this problem. I get extremly board on sundays and often just sleep allday because of this! Do you think I may have adhd. Oh and please don’t write in big words or i may get to board to read your response!

My band will be playing in a week and we need an extra song just incase. We have a Lead and Rhythm guitar, drums, bass and vocals. We would prefer if the song was a constant steady beat through out and isn’t to hard to play on the instruments or to sing because we are still young and are not as good as other musicians. Any genre of song would be good.
