Judging talent

I believe that we all need a way to express our true feelings. Singing and performing are great ways to do this. It doesn't matter how it sounds. What matters is the fun of doing what feels good. So, when I see  TV shows that judge and criticize I am a bit taken back. I know its popular but it just bothers me.
There is a big difference between wanting to sing for singings sake and wanting to make money in show business. People and children in particular should be encouraged to sing, to feel and to enjoy doing it  .
It's difficult to verbalize feelings, so please take a listen to the song Just For Me...that says it  a lot better.

Feelings

No matter what our  age is, we all started off as children. We cried, we laughed and we were pretty unaffected by social protocol. Then we eventually grew up, matured and kind of learned how to still have fun within the confines of the social system around us. But,  deep inside, we still had our feelings. It seems that when we hear good songs or see good art, this brings out those hidden feelings again...and we tend to live again and feel again. That's important and that's a lot  of what the music of the David Hamilton Project is all about.

From the textbook of Orthodontics

"Growth in size is accompanied by growth in internal structure, enabling the 8 year old child to function mentally at nearly the same level as an adult." from Textbook of Orthodontics by Samir E. Bishara

So what this is basically saying, is that an 8 year old has the brain capability to mentally function as an adult.  The point being, that what these children are exposed to influences them (sometimes for a lifetime), when they are in reality perfectly capable of thinking on their own.  So we are influenced by the school system, by our friends and by the music we listen to.  I think we are basically all good people, however negative influences can distract one from being a positive influence in society.

I was doing my Sunday walk on South Beach, when I noticed a driver of a car having an argument with some kids on skateboards.  I watched for a few minutes and when the scene escalated I ran across the street and yelled to hold off, and basically prevented a fist fight.  Everyone went their own way and I continued walking.  I wonder in todays media thirst for exciting videos how many people might have recorded the confrontation, and rather than preventing it, root for a fight.  I think we need to do more of the right thing and I try to express this in the music that I've created for the David Hamilton Project

Holiday

Those of us involved in the David Hamilton Project hope that our readers had a fantastic holiday weekend... Good times, with good friends and of course a good soundtrack.  We remain hard at work here on making the project a reality, and thought this was the perfect  opportunity to reflect on our choice of date for the concert.  One of the fundamental aspects of the music is that it is truly heartfelt and genuine.  If you haven't already, you can freely listen to any of the songs here.  With sentimental music, what better day for a show than Valentines Day?  Its an opportunity to celebrate a holiday for love the way it is meant to be: with loved ones doing something enjoyable and even romantic.  This will truly be a holiday to remember
