Wow… can’t believe I haven’t heard Preston Reed before this. My only comparrison might be Phil Keaggy (“The Master & the Musician” and “Accoustic Sketches”).
Thankyou for the links and recommendation.
Though I don’t agree on the “far better than Pat M.” part (mainly because I don’t think there is a competition going on), you just helped Preston Reed sell another CD
This idea of “drafting” somebody into starting a blog gave me a great idea for Xmas. Seems my Mom has heard a lot about blogs over the past year (from me, perhaps?) and found the idea interesting. She’s an old hand in the custom window treatments field and I after I showed her English Cut I think she’s got a new role model! So I’m setting her up with a site and we’ll see what happens. You know the drill, it’s not an online shop or anything like that, but if someone should make an enquiry after reading the site, she probably wouldn’t turn them away. =)
ps. Adding my mom’s site to the industry page on the wiki, but it ought to be pretty quiet until after the holidays (since it is a gift, after all… =P)
Wow. Pure magic.
Very cool stuff. I had never heard of Preston Reed either. A guy from my hometown, Ben Lacy, is doing the same as far as staying away from the major labels and making connections with people. He plays multiple parts at the same time on the electric guitar. He’s sponsored by Brian Moore guitars and does a lot of guitar clinics and shows. Check him out at http://www.benlacy.com
Tried posting this once before … comment gizmo dinnit work.
Here’s a *fair trade* indie music site for world music, blogs and RSS and the Terms of Agreement aren’t rapacious.

Might be a good place for Reed to both offer up his music, and blog ??
Ooops .. ’twas me that dinna work.
I posted the note and URL above in comments below a few days ago … sorry to take up extra space (squared now that i’ve had to red-facedly admit to my stupidity).
Preston Reed and MusicHacks
This return to the theme need not always be literal. It can be conceptual. That’s a MusicHack. It’s cognitive dissonance. Leave something for the listener to complete in their mind. Involve them in the song.
