Salty Moses



I wrote this song during 2016 and had it professionally recorded in April 2017 before the Trump Administration backed out of the Paris agreement - thus making the song somewhat prophetic.  I have studied the Climate Change issue a great deal, and have been trained to be a speaker/presenter by the Climate Reality Project.

My goal in writing the song was to bring about an awareness of the Climate Change issue - hopefully encouraging conversations about it, and acceptance of the scientific findings.  As Neal deGrasse Tyson stated - this is "Objective" science at this point - meaning it is true whether we believe it or not.

Climate Change is both a concern and an opportunity at the same time.  Similar to the industrial revolution, climate change is creating an energy revolution - and fossil fuels are being phased out in favor of renewable energy. This is projected to create a lot of jobs as there is so much to do - and it makes economic sense.  It is now cheaper to fix the problem than to continue doing business as usual. 

Fossil fuels no longer have a monopoly on transportation - electric cars and fuel cells are here and are becoming more popular.  Utilities are no longer monopolies - individuals and businesses can generate their own power with solar panels.  Changes in agriculture are turning agricultural practices, that have been used for 150 years, upside down.  Large agricultural chemical manufacturers are racing to figure out ways to support the changes that are taking place.

An upbeat song about a topic impacting nearly every living organism on Earth. Great Country flavor mixed with a lot of truth - and even a dash of political sarcasm. A highly unique voice carries the melody - a voice you will want to hear again and again - as unique as Adam Levine's and Ed Sheeran's.

Kenneth Howard Smith's Super Bowl Sunday February 3 2019









































APACHE JUNCTION AZ (IFS) -- As we celebrate the Super Bowl for 2019, we also must remember the tragic flight of TWA Flight 3 that takeoff from Las Vegas in 1942.  For more of her story we go to Wikipedia:

Carole Lombard (born Jane Alice Peters, October 6, 1908 – January 16, 1942) was an American film actress. She was particularly noted for her energetic, often off-beat roles in the screwball comedies of the 1930s. She was the highest-paid star in Hollywood in the late 1930s. She was the third wife of actor Clark Gable.
Lombard was born into a wealthy family in Fort Wayne, Indiana, but was raised in Los Angeles by her single mother. At 12, she was recruited by the film director Allan Dwan and made her screen debut in A Perfect Crime (1921). Eager to become an actress, she signed a contract with the Fox Film Corporation at age 16, but mainly played bit parts. 
She was dropped by Fox after a car accident left a scar on her face. Lombard appeared in 15 short comedies for Mack Sennett between 1927 and 1929, and then began appearing in feature films such as High Voltage and The Racketeer. After a successful appearance in The Arizona Kid (1930), she was signed to a contract with Paramount Pictures.
Paramount quickly began casting Lombard as a leading lady, primarily in drama films. Her profile increased when she married William Powell in 1931, but the couple divorced after two years. A turning point in Lombard's career came when she starred in Howard Hawks' pioneering screwball comedy Twentieth Century (1934). 
The actress found her niche in this genre, and continued to appear in films such as Hands Across the Table (1935) (forming a popular partnership with Fred MacMurray), My Man Godfrey (1936), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and Nothing Sacred (1937). At this time, Lombard married "the King of Hollywood", Clark Gable, and the supercouple gained much attention from the media. Keen to win an Oscar, at the end of the decade, 
Lombard began to move towards more serious roles. Unsuccessful in this aim, she returned to comedy in Alfred Hitchcock's Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941) and Ernst Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be (1942)—her final film role.
Lombard's career was cut short when she died at the age of 33 in an airplane crash on Mount Potosi, Nevada while returning from a war bond tour. Today, she is remembered as one of the definitive actresses of the screwball comedy genre and American comedy, and ranks among the American Film Institute's greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema.
Today's show include music from SDC Radio One with Six Feet From Salvation, talk of the 1966-67 Los Angeles Rams and its famous athletics that went on to recordings, television and motion picture glory.

Welcome to Trakr!!


Welcome to Trakr!!

Here’s your monthly dose of what we at DigitalRadioTracker.com are finding interesting this month. Hope these articles help you improve your music industry life and your life in the world as a whole. And remember, DigitalRadioTracker.com can help you see where any song is being played, worldwide, at digital (internet) radio...and some terrestrial stations too, as an added plus!  Did we mention Worldwide??  Woo hoo!!

Allow the awesomeness to wash over you like a kid with a sled and brand new mittens on a snow day with no school.... 

Please forward this to one or two people you know who could benefit from DigitalRadioTracker or our lovely curated newsletters that boost our collective knowledge of the music industry.

The Top 200 Most Influential Music Blogs Of 2019 Looking to get your music out there amongst the tastemakers? Well first you need amazing music, because contacting top blogs with mediocre recordings that get thousands of submissions a month never makes an impact. This is insider information from professionals working at the top of the music industry. And as the saying goes, “information is power”. https://artistdevelopmentandproduction.com/the-top-200-most-influential-music-blogs-of-2019/

The Economics Of Streaming Is Making Songs Shorter Popular music is shrinking. From 2013 to 2018, the average song on the Billboard Hot 100 fell from 3 minutes and 50 seconds to about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Six percent of hit songs were 2 minutes 30 seconds or shorter in 2018, up from just 1% five years before. https://qz.com/1519823/is-spotify-making-songs-shorter/

Increase your Pandora plays with the Artist Audio Message Tool  How does an artist get people to listen to their music? It’s one of the most-asked questions of the streaming era. Streaming is a unique animal. Artists who grew up in the download era, and especially those old enough to remember selling CDs, are adjusting to a dramatically different way of reaching listeners. The same challenge also exists for the streaming generation that knows no CD sales. Your new music deserves to be heard. The trick is taking advantage of the right tools to reach the right listeners. https://diymusician.cdbaby.com/music-promotion/increase-pandora-plays-artist-audio-message-aam-tool/

Why Today's Artists Fail! A couple years back, I ended up sitting next to someone from Spotify on a flight to Austin for SxSW. I had no idea who she was at the time but decided to pick her brain for an article I was working on. Ironically, the article was about the possibility of streaming services replacing major labels. As we discussed the huge door that streaming services opened for independents, she made a statement that I totally agreed with but still found completely unnerving. https://www.makinitmag.com/blog/features/why-todays-artists-fail

How To Take Advantage Of Memes, Memes, Memes, Memes... As the realities of content and distribution continue to transform in the contemporary media economy, many artists and distributors have been forced to rethink their marketing strategy entirely. Here we look at memes have and could potentially be tapped as an effective marketing platform. https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2019/01/how-can-radio-stations-take-advantage-of-memes.html

Music And Lifestyle Companies Are Jockeying For Each Other's Audiences Who will win? As with many previous newsletters, I’m going to open today’s installment with a perspective from the startup and tech world. In their blog post “The Customer Acquisition Pricing Parade,” startup marketing experts David Perell and Nik Sharma argue that “digitally-native vertical brands”—i.e. direct-to-consumer retail brands like Allbirds, Away, Casper, Glossier and Warby Parker—will increasingly build and compete around audiences, rather than around industries. https://www.getrevue.co/profile/cheriehu42/issues/music-and-lifestyle-companies-are-jockeying-for-each-other-s-audiences-who-will-win-151191

The Price, Cost and Value of Digital Music  He laughs, recalling one student who announced, in a rehearsal, that an Andrew Hill record Moran had discussed was not available to stream. “I clapped in that moment and said ‘Yeah, how free do we think we are when we’re told that everything is in one place, and then when it’s not, we believe it doesn’t exist?’ That’s dangerous. It’s a death sentence.” New Amsterdam’s Brittelle adds: “We need people to understand that in order to keep going, we need more support than people just liking and streaming our music. We don’t want to have a divide in our thinking between someone who’s a fan, a donor, a friend. We want to try to merge all that together.” Douglas, meanwhile, reports that, at Greenleaf, his experimental model is working—to a point. http://downbeat.com/news/detail/the-price-cost-value-of-digital-music/P2

Is Spotify’s Model Wiping Out Music’s Middle Class? Among the glut of lists on the internet toward the end of last year, Spotify’s Wrapped 2018 broke through, perhaps landing on more social media feeds than any other. Instagram-ready graphics detailing every user’s most streamed songs and artists became empirical proof of fandom, a dorm-room poster for the digital age. Artists got in on the action, too, sharing their own versions of the Wrapped graphic with data on total streams, number of listeners, and the countries where those listeners resided. The data collectively reinforced the power of Spotify’s brand: It’s global, it’s personalized, and it’s increasingly omnipresent. https://www.theringer.com/tech/2019/1/16/18184314/spotify-music-streaming-service-royalty-payout-model

5 Things You’re Not Doing Right With Music Hashtags On Instagram By now, social media has become important and widespread enough that everyone understands what hashtags are what that they do, but there are still plenty of people who don’t fully grasp what they should and should not be doing when it comes to the Instagram add-ons. Here’s a quick look at five things you might not be doing quite right with hashtags on Instagram, how you can be better, and why any of this matters at all. http://blog.sonicbids.com/music-hashtags-instagram

Deezer's New App Serves Up 30,000 Radio Stations For Free Deezer has unveiled a new app that will give users access to 30,000 radio stations around the world. "Radio by Deezer," only available on Android in the UK for now, offers up music, live sports, news and talk, including stations like BBC Radio, Classic FM and talkSport. All of that is served up without any ads, apart from those on the radio stations themselves. https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/16/radio-by-deezer-30000-stations-uk/

Album-Merch Bundles Don’t Make Much Money, But Rappers Like Them Anyway Bundling has become increasingly pervasive, even on a modest scale. The goal is to boost both chart position — Billboard counts bundled sales in many cases — and revenue: In the streaming era, the margin on selling music has shrunk, but there is still profit to be made from selling clothing. But some artists are bundling albums with merchandise at such low prices that it’s hard to see how they’re making any money at all. Minaj, for example, was selling a T-shirt and album bundle for $15. “Let’s say for $15, you’re selling the album for the lowest retail price of $6.99 and then the T-shirt — at cost — is what, $5?” asks Amir Kashani, co-founder of media and strategy consultancy Salt + Vinegar https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/album-merch-bundles-dont-make-much-money-but-rappers-like-them-anyway-776067/

The Liberation of Music Sampling Today’s music makers are inspired by the music of the past. They want to use small parts of older recordings in the music they are making today. Unfortunately, the slow, expensive, and difficult sample clearance process has forced today’s music makers to re-record similar sounding song sections, use samples without permission or rights, or skip sampling altogether. This robs the original artists and songwriters of both their share of recognition and revenue for the contribution they made to the future of music. https://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2019/01/the-liberation-of-music-sampling-op-ed.html

7digital Deputy CEO Talks Music And ‘The Rise Of The Super Aggregator’ The music industry may be enjoying its return to growth fueled by streaming subscriptions, but it should not get carried away. That warning came from Pete Downton, deputy CEO at 7digital, speaking at Music Ally and Music Biz’s NY:LON Connect conference in London yesterday. “Whilst it may feel like a wonderful time in the music industry – we are in a period of growth – but everything is relative,” he said, showing a chart that emphasised how recorded-music revenues are still a long way from their peak in the mid-1990s. https://musically.com/2019/01/23/7digital-deputy-ceo-talks-music-and-the-rise-of-the-super-aggregator/

Warren Buffett: “Really Successful People Say No To Almost Everything"  When I tell people that Warren Buffett follows the 5-Hour Rule and spends 80% of his time reading and thinking, they have an immediate and predictable reaction: “Well, he can do that because he’s Warren Buffett, one of the richest people in the world. I could never do that.” While this response may help people feel better about themselves, it certainly won’t make them smarter. Because the reality is: Buffett has spent most of his time reading and thinking since he was in grade school. Having more money or managing a large company doesn’t magically give you free time. https://medium.com/accelerated-intelligence/warren-buffett-really-successful-people-say-no-to-almost-everything-ab78832ffebc
