DW Cousino Band Big Hit at Middletown Balloon Festival
Dave and the band were a big hit at the Mid-Ohio Challenge and Balloon Festival on July 20. Weather and music were both hot, with temps getting into triple digits. Reviews of the performance were outstanding, and people continue to groove on the originals! The DW Cousino Band includes drummer Brian Humanic and bassist Paul Saas, to form the Rockin' Blues trio.

David on YouTube
|
|
One of the areas that guitarists consistently struggle with is rhythm. I got David to share some of his lesson material on video and posted them on YouTube. The first video focused on Basic Rhythm and subdividing time. The second video adds stylistic elements of funk and metal. Click below to view the vids.

David On GodTube
|
|
GodTube.com is a cool new site and you guessed it, it's Youtube without the questionable content. David had the opportunity to play at Preston Ridge in Frisco TX and we captured the video of his live performance of Amazing Grace.

Music Professionals at your service
There's a lot of turmoil in the music business today. Some caused by technology allowing the opening up of new markets and reducing the cost of producing quality product. Some of it is caused by an industry that's had over 40 years of growth and continued to operate on a business model that is outdated and cost heavy, and in many cases, unfriendly to the artist. Some of it is just natural movement in markets, people change, some get old, and younger generations come up and they don't like what we used to like. Oldies to me were Bill Haley and the Comets, Frankie Avalon, Count Basie, the great jazzers. Oldies to my kids are the Beatles and Aerosmith and the Stones.
But we believe that some parts of the business haven't changed. A good song is still a good song. A copyright has value. Music needs a commercial outlet to be viable. There is still talent required on the either side of the microphone to create something that makes everybody go yeah! That's what we try to do here, whether it's ourselves, our bands, as an engineer, or consulting at a church on sound issues; we try to get people to say, YEAH! | |
