Open Mics

Hey all,

So I've been playing a fair amount of open mic's recently in an effort to see if I can then play shows at the places that have open mics. Open mic's are always a fun experience because you never know what kind of talent you will run into. I enjoy just meeting people and chatting and then playing a couple of songs and listening to others play.

I'm really looking to get actual shows and I have one lined up out at the IUP campus. The show is on FEB 27th at 7pm and it's in this awesome coffee shop called The Common Place (http://thecommonplacecoffeehouse.com/) check em out.

If anyone is in the area they should come hang out. It's about 45 minutes outside of pittsburgh.

My friend Ryan is going to play a few songs before I go on. He rocks 1100 percent. So yea. I'm super excited.

Anywho, yea lots of open mic's. It's good practice as well so that as I pick up more shows my playing style will be even more polished by then.

wooo hooo... later peoples.

A song NOT about girls!

ok. So I have this song that I will be recording soon. Well actually I have 3 songs that I will be recording soon that are all NOT about girls!!!

So not ALL my songs are about girls. Just 99.9 percent. Actually I think it's more like 95 percent are about girls.

I then started writing this really jazzy esk thing the other night. It started out not about girls but then it turned into being about a girl. and love.

But seriously... the world loves songs about love. That will never get old.

I was thinking I should write a more serious political song. I'll try to work on that as well.

But just so everyone knows, not ALL of my songs are always about girls. Sometimes I write about other things. I've been working on a song about pirates for like 6 months now. I have a 2 verses. I'm getting there.

Hopefully when I finish the pirate song it won't turn into a song about a girl pirate. It MIGHT. I'm not gonna lie, there's always the chance that it could happen. But I'm going to TRY and keep it just about pirates.

Blog about The LB Anthem posted from my Myspace blog

I know I already posted about the song in the previous blog. But I like this blog I wrote much better. It's from my myspace (Myspace.com/kennywestmusic)

..............

So I put this pretty rocking new song up.

Some people seem to be confused. Let me explain:

LB stands for Lane Bryant. The song is about having a crush on a girl that works at Lane Bryant, because I think big girls are hot.

Any questions?

While the lady pictured may not be technically plus-size... I think you can see the point I'm making.

Girls should just rock the body they have... love that body. It's hot no matter what size it is.

The LB Anthem

So I posted a new song called The LB Anthem...

Some people have asked me what LB stands for. It stands for Lane Bryant. The song is about having a crush on the girls that work at a store in the mall... only instead of some skinny girl store like forever 21... it's about liking the chicks that work at Lane Bryant.

and you know what... It's a totally awesome Song.
