(Im)Possibilities

A concession to the naysayers:  Yes, this does sound impossible.  Selling out a major venue for an 'unheard of' artist has never been done before.  The entire basis of the David Hamilton Project is alien to the music industry as we know it.  There is an established protocol for a band to 'make it big' and it is very different from what we are talking about here

And here's a revelation to the naysayers: So was flight, so was electricity, so was space travel, so was the ability to 'record' music and so was pretty much everything else you do and encounter on the average day

Everything worthwhile was once impossible.  It just takes a good, sound idea and a lot of determination.  There will always be obstacles to overcome, and it won't come easy... but the end result is worth it.  We've worked hard on fine tuning the concept of a 'Mutual Fun' and all thats left to do is share it.  Think of the possibilities

Summer job

I had an appointment with a physician a few days ago and a young lady came in the room to get some information from me. She was a student at Vanderbilt University who was spending her summer time to see how this  neurology office worked.  I wondered how interesting this summer occupation was for this girl. Instead of spending her time this way, she could be making money and getting people involved in a revolutionary music project  that would make a lot of people happy and maybe wealthy... the concept of mutual fun with the David Hamilton Project. I think that helping people in a doctor's office is a noble thing but I also think that life is short and spending your  youth  dealing with pathology is not too exciting.
I must add a caveat to this... my computer tutor in order to not alienate  people  (especially pathologists)
encourages me to not say that pathology is not exciting.

Musical Motivations and Memories

Music is such an integral part of life if you think about it.  Our lives all have soundtracks.  Many find that certain songs inspire them to work out, or at work.  Many have a long list of songs that remind them of things.  Maybe its the lyrics of a song that remind them of their first date, their first kiss, of any memorable moment in their lives.  Or maybe its just that a particular song happened to be on the radio at that time.  Regardless of what it means to us, or why, the reality is that music plays a very significant role in our lives.   Try to imagine your life without music!  Personally I can't even imagine such a scenario

One of the aspirations of the David Hamilton Project is the concept of fan participation/involvement/ownership.  Why not take something that is so central to our lives, and give all of us the opportunity to be involved to a greater extent.  Music has been a significant part of society for a very long time, and will remain so for generations to come.  Let's all have a stake in shaping it, enjoying it, profiting from it and sharing it.  All of us, not just a select few, deserve the ability to be involved in this pillar of civilization

My Dream

I had a dream a few nights ago that people were responding to the idea of a " mutual fun " and the David Hamilton Project.  Everyone involved was so excited that they were part of something that was  positive. Something invigorating and instrumental to the evolution of music. People were happy that they were having an impact on the music that they loved and at the same time having a positive impact on society.
The church congregation that now had funds to build their new addition. The social worker that could now
have the extra funds to bring their needy clients to the dentist for much needed therapy. The public schools that  instead of having to limit music programs could now offer kids the chance to participate in bands, orchestras, choirs and drama programs. It was amazing to see what people could do together to make this a reality...to really change the world and make it a better place.
