BOBBI, NEW BEATS, NEW BUSINESS
Hey Paul, Wanted to share my thought with you.: Check this out! UPON WAKING, I WANTED TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO ALL MY OLD AND NEW FANS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ALSO, THE GRATITUDE FOR FINDING SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE AS "MY SPACE". THIS IS MY FIRST ENTRY ON MY BLOG HERE, BUT I HAVE ANOTHER AT MY OFFICIAL SITE www.bobbihumphrey.net. FROM WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED SO FAR, A NUMBER OF ARTISTS ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY. AS A MUSICIAN, I SEE THE POTENTIAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY RIGHT IN OUR HANDS;NOT ONLY COMMERCIALLY, BUT POLITICALLY AND HISTORICALLY TO BRING ABOUT POSITIVE CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IN TERMS OF HOW MUSICAL ARTISTS ARE VIEWED, PROTECTED, AND RESPECTED. OURS (RECORDING ARTISTS) IS THE ONLY ARTFORM IN WHICH THE ARTIST DOES NOT OWN HIS OR HER OWN ART. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE. MY VISION IS CLEAR. ASSIGNMENT ACCEPTED. IT IS A GREAT DAY THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS GIVEN BIRTH. A GIFT OF COMMUNICATION, INFORMATION, BOUNDLESS POSSIBILITIES FOR ECONOMIC ENPOWERMENT. I RECEIVE THIS BLESSING IN THE NAME OF THE LEGION OF ARTISTS WHO BROUGHT THE GIFTS OF SONGS, ACROSS ATLANTIC WATERS;SONGS THAT SERVED AS "BALMS IN GILEOD". SONGS OF A SATURDAY "HOEDOWN", SUNDAY MORNING "PRECIOUS LORD", WORK SONG "FIELD HOLLAR", "BIG BOSS MAN" BLUES", MILES "KINDA BLUE", COLTRANE "CONFIRMATION" TO ME "HARLEM RIVER DRIVE" AND "IS THIS ALL". YES, MUSIC IS MY LIFE! SO, WHEN I SEE THE CONTINUING PATTERN OF INEQUITY TO MUSICIANS IN THE RECORD INDUSTRY, I WILL ALWAYS SPEAK UP, ENCOURAGE, AND SEEK TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVE CHANGE. THE FACT THAT BLUE NOTE RECORDS HAS YET TO DO THE RIGHT THING (ROYALTIES), HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT UP TO NOW, TO EVEN LISTEN TO MY OWN HITS. BUT, NEWSFLASH! THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FIGHTER IN ME, AS I CHOOSE TO WIN, NOT WHINE. THE LEGAL AND POLITICAL FORCE ARE IN FULL EFFECT! THE REMIX WILL BE SWEET. WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUNDRAISER , ANOTHER FOUNDATION FOR ARTISTS WHO HAVE ALREADY DONE THE WORK! IT REALLY IS ABOUT RESPECT, EQUITY, AND POSTERITY. JUST PAY THE PIPER WHO PLAYED THE SONG. FOR THERE IS A NEW WAR SONG AMONGST ARTISTS IN THIS COUNTRY:"STOP STEALING, START HEALING!" I WILL CREATE NEW SONGS WHILE RIGHTING THE WRONGS OF THOSE WHICH WERE STOLEN, BEAR THE "GIFT" OF REMEMBERED STRENGHT TO MY FELLOW MUSICIANS IN A NEW KEY OF KNOWLEDGE, VISION, COURAGE, AND EMPOWERMENT; RIGHT FROM MY SOUL, SONG, AND STRATEGY. AS FRESH AS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY IS, THE "REMIX" WILL BE SWEETER FOR OUR SONGS WITH NEW LAWS. JUST LISTEN! BOBBI HUMPHREY[8-)] |

Hello Bobbi. Your words are most inspiring. These are words to live by in the art world and most especially in life. Thank you for your contribution to the forum and your contribution to such a wonderful art- music Any and every artist should have the opportunity to express their genius and be appreciated and be compensated justly for it. |
