I always thought it would be really cool to write songs that people would want to hear. Fast forward a few years to now and I'm realizing how much I need to practice before those songs are ready for prime-time. That said, I still go through the motions and play with as many of the toys as I can get my hands on.
At this point I haven't found the best place online to store my stuff - my songs (if they were worth storing.) I've played with a few. YouTube is easiest to use when uploading, but I haven't found a way to make a nice list of songs:
MySpace is very frustrating to use (I have to assign a genera to each song even if I group them in an album and already put the album in a genera, uploading glitches regularly...)

And, finally ReverbNation, the third of my tries. It's always trying to get me to promote my stuff. Makes sense. That's how they will make their money, but it gets in the way for the young artist just trying to figure out if this is a good place to park.

What makes YOU happy?
Another great TEDx video to add to my list. I love this one for so many reasons. Logan, only 13, speaks with the wisdom many adults still seek. He talks about two things I love: finding your passion, and learning.
