  • 6 Steps to a Radio-Ready Song by Graham Cochrane
    RecordingRevolution.com 6 Steps To A Radio-Ready Song by Graham Cochrane Thank you for downloading this guide! As a singer/songwriter myself, I know the goal of every musician in the home studio is to start creating killer songs - songs that sound so good they could be played on the radio, TV, or just about anywhere. You probably have great song ideas already but simply aren’t able to get your recordings to translate from your head to the real world and sound professional. I’m here to help you with that. In this brief guide I’m going to walk you through the 6 steps that every radio-ready song must go through in order to sound its best. Even if your music will never be heard on the radio, you still want it to sound good enough to hang with “the big boys and girls”. My promise to you is that after reading this guide, you’ll know exactly what it takes to get the best sounding recordings in your home studio and you’ll be motivated to get back to work and start creating your best music yet. Ready to get started? Let’s dive in Graham Cochrane (Founder, RecordingRevolution.com) RecordingRevolution.com STEP 1: Lyrics & Melody The best recordings in the world start long before the recording phase. They begin with great lyrics and killer melodies. The best vocal microphone in the world is useless if the song you’re singing has a boring or hard to remember melody, cumbersome lyrics, and overall bad flow.

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Virtual Dance Instructions
    Teddi 39 Virtual Dancer Instruction Packet 1 Dear Committee, Dancers, Volunteers, and Supporters, This has been an unprecedented year of unknowns, ups, downs, planning, replanning and immense difficulties due to the COVID pandemic for everyone. For 38 years, we have been dancing together for 24 hours, screaming the best songs at 5am at the top of our lungs, without a care in the world. I would have never thought at the end of Teddi 38 last year we would be where we are now, holding the first Virtual Teddi in history. With all of that being said, this year has also brought out the best of the Teddi Dance for Love Committee. Throughout these tough times, the Teddi 39 Committee never ceases to amaze me. Whether it is a Committee member emailing me with an amazing fundraising idea, or seeing the continuous participation of over 250 Committee members throughout a pandemic, it has truly shown me the resilience of St. John Fisher students and the love that they have for the Teddi Dance for Love. To the Committee: I am so incredibly proud of you all! No matter how unknown the ​ future of Teddi 39 was- you stuck with us! All the late night Zoom meetings, Instagram posts, and virtual fundraisers have gotten us this far! Know that YOU kept the Teddi tradition at Fisher going this year through one of the most unforeseeable years in Fisher/Teddi history! Let’s take these next 24 hours to “virtually together” celebrate conquering the struggles of this year and the continued work of Camp Good Days and Special Times! Out of all the Teddis, this will be my most memorable one because of the constant support through this pandemic with this amazing Committee.

    Slow Turning John Hiatt Fanzine - Issue 10 Welcome to Issue 10! Can you believe Slow Turning: John Hiatt Fanzine can now measure its issues in double-digits? Neither can we. Seems like only yesterday yours truly fanzine girl was typing into a 4MB Compaq computer with a pile of photocopies from the local library piled high around me to create our first issue. Now we can all get daily news alerts from all corners of the globe thanks to a mighty invention called Google. It is my humble hope that I can still offer a service to you dear readers by putting together some of the best reviews, interviews, and various facts that are out there about John and his music. One of the most exciting pieces of recent news came from Ted Drozdowski of Gibson.com: “.. guitar builders at Gibson’s acoustic shop in Bozeman, Montana, have now paid tribute to Hiatt’s longtime main axes with a limited edition John Hiatt Model. The big-bodied dreadnought built to Hiatt’s specifications of a solid Sitka spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a one-piece mahogany neck with a modified v-shaped profile generates the same kind of rich, ringing, harmonically complex tones that grace Hiatt’s records...” And speaking of beautiful tones, John’s daughter, Lilly Hiatt, is starting to make her mark on the music scene. Her band, The Dropped Ponies, recently played at a New West Records party in Austin around the time John was in town for the South by Southwest Music Festival.
