i found someone in southern california, who turns around piano pieces in a matter of hours, and undercharges....

p.s., i was getting gouged by someone from new york, literally 10 times the price....
most bizarre experience, I just spent 800 dollars on a transcriber from New York, for two piano pieces, about 12 minutes of music. then I found someone in los angeles, who is doing these kinds of works for 125 dollars vs. 500 dollars, and doing lo...
Wow Douglas. That's quite a compliment and I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Unemployment definitely does not suck!
Life is one crazy ass journey! So I made great money at my day job but hated it, I make crap now but love what I'm doing. I would guess anyone reading this would choose the latter of the two. I haven't been this stress-free in years. I came to this site a few months ago a "composer" (still am) but I am paying the bills with transcriptions. I still can't believe everyone can't do this. I am just happy to be making music and getting paid for it. I am SO upping my prices!!

Well I Finally Lost My Day Job
Damn economy! I've had great success though doing piano transcriptions the past 2 weeks. I've begun work on a webpage that will hopefully help to drum up some business for me. I'll post it once it's completed. If anyone here knows of anyone that is in need of a piano transcription, let me know! Please!! If you would like to see or hear any of my completed transcriptions, just send me an email.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thank you!
In the 24 hours that I have joined this site, I would like to thank everyone that replied to my posts and offered very valuable information. I really appreciate it! I've already taken some advice by getting off my lazy ass and included proper pedal markings in "Drama" so the notes don't bleed but I still don't think my songwriting program allows tempo changes mid-piece. If anyone does know if Finale Songwriter 2005 can do that, (or is that program like a dinosaur?) I'd appreciate that informatio… Continue

You might get a kick out of "American Songs" now posted on my home page. Bring your own airsickness bag.
Thanks

Humble Beginnings
On March 4th, 2009 I lost my mother while serving in Iraq. I went home to pay my last respects, then returned to the war zone. Upon arriving I composed a lamentation memorial to honor her life and death.
Lament for Evett
There will be a 3rd volume of "War and Peace", but this may be the final chapter in the War and Peace Saga. Pray for us, we are comming home soon.

- Well my tour of duty is almost over, and so is the completion of my second volume of War and Peace. I just have 2 more songs to record. One in honor of my good friend William West and family, and the other a memorial composition to honor the life and death of my mother. After this, I think I'll take a break and spend more time with my wife and children. More compositions will come in time. Take care and thank you for your support, on every level.
