Supporting Musicians

This blog is to anyone who has downloaded free music from the internet, or borrowed a CD from someone, and copied it onto your computer or mp3 player. And I’ve done this before, too; something that I sincerely repent of.


Take the time to think about this. I know from experience what kind of work goes into writing and singing songs. It is truly a line of work, and anyone who says otherwise is simply misinformed.

Do you enjoy listening to popular music? Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? In order for an artist to provide you with valuable entertainment and edification, it takes a considerable amount of undesirable work, and in our current society, people are entitled to monetary compensation for their work.

If you don’t believe that a musician should get paid for being a musician, then please don’t expect to ever hear one again. But if you like hearing them, then please support them.

The “free internet download” culture is destroying this system. If artists cease to receive sufficient money for their effort, they will either stop working, or find the easy way out. The music business will be left to the ruthless and immoral, and what they write will be cheap and corny.

Please think about this in your daily life: Whenever you give free music to someone or download something “illegally” from the internet, you are harming the artist you love.

Who's most important?

This blog is to all the artists, writers and musicians like me.  I want to share this quick message with any to whom it applies (the first person being me).

Everyone in the world deep down thinks that their ministry is the most important.  I know it's sad, but it's the truth.  It's just human nature.  I want to challenge people to consider that GOD MAY NOT PLAN TO EVER PUBLISH YOUR WORK!  Please treat others like their mission in life is more important than yours. 

Thanks for reading.

I've never heard of Evie Haskell before, but as I was researching song contests, I came across her website.  I listened to her music and was very impressed.  Listen to it if you get a chance.
