BROTHERS - Mel Hayler and Rob Grant

Welcome to my little corner of the music world. It is my pleasure to share my music with those who choose to listen and / or download it. I'm an old hobbyist musician, who retired from the local scene in 1978. I sold all I owned and gave up playing. I had worked in record stores for 12 years, during the 70's and early 80's, so I was exposed to a large variety of music. I have a love for listening, equal to playing. While working in the record stores, I LOVED finding new groups and promoting them to a local following of music lovers. I can remember breaking new groups, like Lynyrd Skynrd and Boston, when nobody had heard of them. It was an AWESOME time in the record industry. I remember lines at the door, when a new Rolling Stones LP came out. Anyway, my point is......I LOVE to listen as much as I love to play. My view on "reviews" has always been positive and I never say what isn't felt from my heart.

I picked up again in 2006, after hearing some friends music, at a site called Aural Moon. He told me he had recorded it at home, on his computer. I said..."WHAT"!?!?!?!?! "HOW"?!?!?!?! I was then introduced to a world of computer recording and Indie websites. I went to a Guitar Center and came home BROKE!!! A computer interface, software, keyboard, guitar, microphone.....and here I am today......As for my playing, I am primarily a rock bass guitar player. I love to mess with guitar. I try to play keyboards, though I can only play what I hear and my fingers can do......AND!!! I have no idea what I'm doing. I use EZ Drummer for drum arranging, Audio M-Tron for some of my Strings and Choirs and my Yamaha keyboard for others. I LOVE to do collaborations and have been tagged a "collab ho".......Oh yeah!!! My vocals......???? Never was a singer, never will be....BUT!!! What the heck!!!!!

I hope you enjoy yourself here and the music is yours for free, if you so desire to take it.
