:D Hey this is Archie aka Musically Mr M and this is my new site. Got steered here from over at the Guitar Player Forum. Guitar Player is the best, most musical rag on the planet. I've been a reader/subscriber since the 70's!
I'll be posting a lot of my thought (which are pretty wild sometimes)as well as my music and other things. I'm still looking for my 15 minutes of fame so maybe it will be found here.
Feel free to check in whenever and see what's new, what I'm thinking and what scandal may be brewing @ Archie's Place. Until later.................

Hello everyone,
I hope all of our fellow Canadians have enjoyed the celebrations this past weekend. Cheers to our neighbours to the south as well on their July 4th celebration as well.
Anyhow, we put up our latest song "I Know She Understands" onto OurStage.com. If you get a chance, drop by and have a listen. We've only been a member for a short while but it seems like a fun site with a unique voting process. Basically 2 bands go head to head and the listener votes on which one they like best and how much more (on a scale of 1 - 10) they liked it.

Blues Song Submissions Are Up!
Please take a moment to stop by the forum and have a listen. There are some great tunes in there and hopefully some more on the way.

I got a Variax 300 for Father's Day and I am loving it so far. Just curious if there are other Variax owners around and what your thoughts are about the Variax. Indispensable tool or great toy or expensive nuisance? Let me hear from you.
Well, I'm working on putting a new piece together in my studio right now. I't gonna be quite different from my other songs. Having a blast doing it. Hope you'll enjoy it when It's finished!
Guys we just processed a few minor fixes to the site. The biggest being a bug in the Arrange Song Order where tracks were being rebuilt from oldest to newest. They should now be appearing in the order you want them to be in.
Please let us know if you see anything odd!
The Blues Same Song Title Madness is coming up fast. I hope everyone is close to being done!
<p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2" color="#808000">Hey there everyone, 1st day on this site and so far it looks like a fun place to be and share music. I took a 20 year hiatus from music and recently got drawn back into the scene again. I consider myself more of a a composer /musician than a specialist on any one instrument. I'm not really into technical wizardry but melodic passages and memorable hooks. Sometimes I'll just play rhythm guitar and others I'll do the lead thing... I also love my synthesizers and you'll find their soundscapes in most of my material lurking here and there. </font></p><p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2" color="#808000">Don't forget to say hi
</font></p><p><font face="comic sans ms,sand" size="2" color="#808000">Play well!. <br />Peace Gabriel </font></p>
Okay... Not much has changed. The Battle of the Bands tune is almost done. That came together pretty easily, and we are flirting with the idea of doing a few more songs. Already have some musical ideas recorded to work with, and some other ideas that haven't been recorded yet, but offer exciting prospects (for me anyways).
The song with WHP is being re-tooled. It will be good, but I don't think I gave her enough to work with as we rolled it out. Working at a fevered pitch to get this done for our adoring masses who want more!
Haven't heard from FP. I think he hates me... Just kidding! That, as you would expect, is going to be a little different than what is typically posted here. Both he & I like to do things a little "different" and this tune gave us both a chance to explore.
I have a bunch of ideas that I want to get to still. I have a few collabs in the works. And most of my gear is packed up... Hey! I think I just figured out why I'm having productivity issues!.. :D
Thanks for stopping by. NOW, GO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AND LEAVE FEEDBACK!!!
Just saying Hi, my name is Jay Lock I'm a 16 year old from Syracuse, NY. Been playing guitar for 2 years and love blues and rock check out some of my stuff
Born in South America of USA parents, Davey cut his teeth on an eclectic mixture of Latin, 50s Rock&Roll, and the ubiquitous Pop sounds of his parents' generation. Starting in the folk era in the early 60s, Davey has performed bluegrass, Delta blues finger-picking, blues, country rock, and swing in club and concert settings. Heavily influenced by the wide variety of music of the late 60s, from Jimi Hendrix down to Dylan, his style of playing may include everything from straight-on blues to right-on country.
