This is me at the Blue Paddle Open Mic last summer.

Rockin' In Vermont!
I finally got settled in Vermont! Now I can get back to my story. I did one open mic in Kentucky, but Vermont is dripping with Open Mic venues. I can walk down the street to a local open mic on Tuesday nights or check the Open Mic website to find another one. There is one every night of the week. I have done 5 or 6 so far an I am meeting talented musicians here in Vermont. I am getting better at performing my songs and they seem to like them and ask me back. Not bad for a re-beginner and old guy!I will mention some of my favorite players from time to time. My CD is getting to the final stages and may get done by the end of June or July. Tons of work for me and especially Tim Brickley. I have written some new songs here in Vermont and I will record them as I learn to make them sound decent without Tim's guidance. Here is a picture of my local venue, Monty's. I play there on Tuesdays when I can. I always practice, which is something that some of the other performer should do. RRG Chuck

Now: We All Get Back Up Again?
I got the 50 fans back, but the song plays are flat. I am probably leveling off and headed back down. It will have to take care of itself. No tweaking from me! I'm getting ready to move to Vermont soon. I will record another song tomorrow in Indy! RRG Chuck

Now: We All Fall Down!
I made it to # 5 today on the Louiville Reverbnation chart for Rock! Wow! I'm impressed...not! The system is easily tweeked and you will see artists with way more fans than song plays? Why would you become a fan when you have not heard their songs? To get a higher fan number for yourself. I gained fans steadily after a few key artists became my fan. It is like joinign a fan club or secret society. You are however only allowed to have 1000 favorites so you have to drop artists as you go to keep your own numbers up. I just lost 50 fans today after never losing more than 1 or 2 before. So funny! I guess my fair share payment will go down now! I did earn 18 cents so far, which helps you to see how important "Fameville" (Reverbnation) really is. I will keep my songs on there, but the climb up the charts may be over. I will let it take care of itself. You can spend more time tweeking the fans than writing and playing songs. I'm gonna be Rockin' instead. I did meet a few nice people on RVN which does make it worthwhile. Watch Liam's video on my page or Utube. It is so funny! RRG Chuck
