I'm all about promoting the best live music in our area.

About Me

Our area has more great live music and live music clubs than almost any place I've ever been. I'm a retired pilot that traveled a lot, and always had a hard time finding good live music. I spent a few years promoting bands and live music with my video production company, Skyking Video Productions. Technology has brought on the cyber age, and the internet. I've developed a network of musicians I've known and worked with for years. I also had a lot of club owners that came to me for advice on bands that they could hire for their clubs. Live music lovers were constantly asking me where they could go to hear some good music. I started sending weekly e-mails to a hundred interrested addresses with a bit of news and band schedules for the week. That list has grown to several hundred. I started sending links to photo albums I posted, .., of bands and their fans. The next move was to launch a web page where I could post my newsletter, and update it, instantly. I've included links to band web pages, and included dozens of slideshows of bands. My web page is simple, and can be viewed on web enabled cell phones, laptops, and PDAs, including the photos. The web page has had thousands of visitors, and continues to grow at a rapid rate. Visit it, and support live music in our area. It is syndicated using RSS, so new posts show up on your news gathering pages. http://SkyReport.spaces.live.com/ or on your cell phone or PDA http://SkyReport.mobile.spaces.live.com/
