Hey now! Hello there and
welcome to MusiciansOnly.net - the world's best and largest.... blah,
blah, blah... Why do you always see that on other websites?
MusiciansOnly.net is barely a one man, part-time operation.
Anyhow, my name is Vito and I live in NYC and I am a
major music lover and occasional musician. Last year, I wanted to get
back into music... and had a majorly tough time finding folks to play
with.
Let me back up a little bit... I was in a band back in
High School and College and I play guitar. I thought I was going to be
the next Alex Lifeson!
So since I graduated from college, my busy “adult life” has made it
really difficult for me to play again with other folks. I mean finding
people to play with common tastes, skill levels, location.... seemed
like a project and was never "a priority".
I realized that I really missed playing, being creative,
chilling and meeting other musicians but did not know where to start. I
even did a few Web Searches and could not find any easy to use (I know
that’s not the case anymore!).
So I started a little personal project – to build a
FREE and Easy-to-Use website that could help local musicians to connect.
Also, I’ve been really fascinated with the internet and wanted to learn
how to build websites. The other thing I did not mention is that I was
Comp Sci major in college and used to have the technical “chops” to do
this type of stuff (not sure very cool, but true)…. but now I’m part of
“management.”
I began this project in December and just finished this
version and “officially” launched the site on Monday March 20th, 2005.
Right now it is set up for 3 nearby metro areas my hometown New York
City, Philadelphia, and Boston but maybe that will expand in the future.
Now I just hope that other musicians find it useful. So pass on the
word!
Here is my pledge to all musicians out there – whether
you are a pro, amateur, part-time, whatever… I will never charge you for
any service, features, or content. I just want musicians to have an
on-line community and resource to be able to connect with other
musicians as well as goods / service providers. I want to provide you
with good information and tools to make your life easier.
So let me know what you think – send comments to
Feedback
I am trying to figure out what other features may be
helpful, so stay tuned.
Finally, thanks for using for MusiciansOnly.net and pass
on the word!
Vito
