Hey Dude, we're getting the band back together

If you have read my bio on FastServers.Net, you know that I enjoy music…almost to a fault.

Lately, I have been taking guitar lessons at the Old Town School of Folk Music and recently took a “Proto-Punk” ensemble class. Ensemble classes are a little different than regular Old Town classes because they include people playing a full range of instrumentation…guitar, drums, bass, and vocals. In essence, it’s like being in a band…with 8 guitarists. A few weeks ago, I had the first time ever thrill of playing and singing a Television tune in front of a live audience. It was great. All I need now is a Bowflex. Then I can say that I’m (censored) years old, in a rock band and in the best shape of my life. Yeah, right!

Enough about living the rock star dream (30 years later). What does this have to do with FastServers.Net, you ask? Recently, we gained a new customer, Korg. At first, it didn’t ring a bell, but I soon realized that the company sells keyboards, tuners, DJ tools, etc. I wish I had a dollar for all the times I was standing in a club waiting for the band to start, staring at the big white letters KORG on the keyboard onstage.

With this keyboard manufacturer as one of our latest customers, I got to thinking about the other music related organizations that rely on FastServers.Net’s managed dedicated servers. Need drumsticks? Pick up a few pairs from Vic Firth. How about some guitar strings? When I snapped my E string recently, I reached for a set from D’Addario. There’s that old joke about how you get a rock guitarist to quit playing? Answer: Set some sheet music in front of him. Yep, you can get sheet music and instruction books for all sorts of string instruments at Stringletter Publishing. Got all your gear together, your songs recorded, your Faces shag haircuts? Ready to hit the big time? Get your music out to the masses on Dream Makers or MyTracks.

What do we still need in our hot FastServers.Net rock ‘n’ roll band? How about some drum and guitar companies? Oh, and we could use some mike and amp providers. Fact is, after over 10 years on the circuit, FastServers.Net is definitely not a one-hit wonder. We can do it all, from the one-man band to the full orchestration of servers. Whether you want to sing a cappella or thrash it out, FastServers.Net has the solution for your gig.
