<title>Michigan Senate Revives Smoking Ban Debate (poll included)</title>
<link>http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopicp-467.html#467</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm struggling to quit.  If nobody around me smoked it would be a lot easier.

Yeah, that's the key.  The wife and I quit together in steps.  

Step One: No smoking in the house from such and such a date.  

Step Two:  Set a date in the future for the final quit date.  

Step Three: Smoke our last  cigarette together (midnight, Halloween 2002).

Step Four: Gain forty pounds.  

Ok, that last stepped wasn't exactly planned, but...... :lol:


Funny, here's a link to one of my posts ]]></description>

<title>How do you market your band/music?</title>
<link>http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopicp-465.html#465</link>
<description><![CDATA[I'm still of the old school where I post flyers, but not for the reason you'd think:

It's more of a gesture to the venue owner that I'm working my butt off to make my act a success.  (I never keep it a secret from the venue owner that I'm posting these things all around town!...)  It seems to me a minority of acts practice this, and I want to make it clear that when you hire Gene Perry, you will get some promotional effort along with what's being sold, here.  In a competative market, if it's ]]></description>

<title>Songwriting: Do you collaborate?</title>
<link>http://www.michiganbands.com/ftopicp-456.html#456</link>
<description><![CDATA[We most definately argue (especially since my brother is in the band).  But, its worth it!

Musical differences make it very difficult to write together.  As stated by others, this makes it hard to have an end product that everyone likes.  

The only way a true collaboration can happen is if the following conditions are made (in my opinion):

1.  No one can get upset if the other person doesn't like what they wrote.  Get over it.
2.  Give every disputed part a chance, and let it sit for a]]></description>
