That’s what our drummer said to me one day at a band rehearsal in 1992, when he decided to wear headphones!
Playing live in a club, there’s a lot of loud stuff happening. Drums banging, cymbals clanging, the bass thundering (through hopefully a great map like a Trace Eliot), and of course those rhythmic guitars! But where does that leave the keyboards?
Well generally speaking a keyboard player has a lot of room to look for the holes in the sound, find his or her pocket … and play!
Influenced mostly by the rhythmic players such as Elton John, Burton Cummings and Billy Joel, I always took to stage a heavy set of hands that focused in on the complex rhythms fed by a drummer. On that day in 1992, our drummer John discovered the ear candy he had been missing when he put on a set of headphones, and was able to hear a lot of the fine detail that normally only those in the audience got to hear (through of course the massive PA speakers).
The Royalty-Free Music Collection, Grand Piano Grooves, is a compilation of piano influenced rhythms. You’ll also find that these tunes were tailor made for internet marketing audio, such as background music for your youtube videos, ebook intros, and instrumentals for podcasts and blog talk radio.
George Santayana (1863 1952), a Spanish philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist once said that those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Throughout our lives, we have often been reminded to learn from our mistakes. Time and time again we see people around us making the same errors in judgment without learning from them.

Before purchasing ANY Royalty-Free music, there are a few things that any buyer needs to consider.
First, is how will the music you are going to use fit into your overall business. This is important, because there are different types of licenses available.
For example, if you’re a developer of many different products, then chances are you’ll want a comprehensive library of Royalty-Free music. This might be a catalog which includes music from many genres and styles. The downside to buying a catalog or package like this, is that literally everyone else (your competitors included) can buy the same music.
Although significantly more expensive, an exclusive license is an alternative. In the case of an exclusive license, you’ll be the only internet marketer who will ever use that specific music in any product.
A third option (which is priced in-between the two), is a custom written track, but there’s no exclusive license attached to it. So although the music will be produced to your specific requirements, the writer will then have the freedom to include the track in a future library.
