About mike corry
I started in garage bands back in the sixties. I had a friend named Marty Smith who showed me a few chords and I had a terrible 12 string acoustic set up as a six string. I started practicing and both Marty and I tried out for a band as rhythm guitar players and I was picked, that ended our friendship!
I talked my parents into buying me a Framus 335 knock-off and a Gibson three piece amp, then

How much do you spend on your recommendations. Especially promote a song?
I believe that this site is manipulating when and how much they allow us to recommend.
I always put mine at $10 so as a diamond member it should receive 20 for you.
I see some as $4!
Which means they are offering $2.
This is not possible for me,I’ve tried it and it always defaults to $10.
So what’s up here.?
Let me know thanks. Mike Corry.
Ps we’re recording next month so a lot of new songs are coming!
I’ve been noticing that as I try to recommend and earn on this site that as the time says that there is 2 minutes before I can recommend a song with the ones with more bilncoin value disappear just as I’m readying to recommend!
It’s as if there is some filter on.
If any of you notice this write me,write them too.
Also as a top level I’m supposed to get link ever is the amount your song is to be recommended by you, seems to me that some have all of a sudden lowered extremely their
Recommendations link if what I see is true some fir $2?
Thanks for supporting and listening I’m on the way to over 6 million plays and over 7 million profile views!
New stuff in the near future too.

I started in garage bands back in the sixties. I had a friend named Marty Smith who showed me a few chords and I had a terrible 12 string acoustic set up as a six string. I started practicing and both Marty and I tried out for a band as rhythm guitar players and I was picked, that ended our friendship!
I talked my parents into buying me a Framus 335 knock-off and a Gibson three piece amp, then I spent the next few years playing covers by The Who, Cream, John Mayall, The Blues Breakers, The Rolling Stones, etc., most bands from that era, (not a bad list for a bunch of 11-13 year olds). Our band later became known as "Opening Night" Joseph Pagan bass/harmonica DonBuchanan lead guitar and Martin Johnson drums and we used to play all over Santa Monica including dances at Miles Playhouse and Lincoln Park across from St. Monica'link, our lead player quit and I became an instant lead player, I'd gotten used to grabbing chords so tightly because of the high action I'd learned on I could barely move my fingers but kept on it, I used to break picks in half cause I was also digging too hard with my right hand. But I owe don a big debt because it instantly made me a lead link played through grammar school and when we got to high school we had a rival band in Santa Monica who needed a bass player, drummer and lead guitar so we joined Rick Dano (son of Royal Dano the actor from Twin Peaks )as our singer,and Steve Knox on link practiced in Ricks living room even without him at times and his folks were always cool with link was a really nice man and gracious and supportive as well as ricks mom.
Graduation came and summer of freedom,we pretty much went our separate ways mainly cause we were a cover band and had no desire to make it.
In the first year at Santa Monica city college I was majoring in music and met Thom Graves in choir,he was looking for a lead guitarist and was talking over me as I sat in my student desk thing to another guy and I said”I’m a lead player” they both looked down at me sorta link hit it off when I went to his house in Culver City,we both loved ry cooder and the band and decided from there to start a band ,I knew a bass player Alan fisher who was also attending the college,Thom said he knew a link the drummer didn’t work and Allen introduced us to Rick hill.
On a camping trip we were listening to the bands link. wallcot t medicine show and there’s a line in there,the Klondike klu klux Steamboat band and Thom said let’s call ourselves that. I didn’t think that was such a great idea,so the Steamboat band we link was playing pedal steel and a tele in those days and had a four ten fender tweed bassman and an ampeg vt link altec Lansing speakers .we moved up to Carmel and lived as a band for about a year,came back to LA and played every high school and jr hi in the link to get some record deals going,cause Thom’s brother in law was Glenn Yarborough,and we used to record with Thom Bresh the great finger picker and son of Merle Travis out in the link Bresh helped me record some commercials for the Good Stuff bread company of a song I’d written when I was 18 by the same name,the commercial was going to go national,but as the music biz,it never came link Bresh and I are still link steamboat were in a movie that won the golden globe documentary award for 1977 called youthquake I was taking a college course on 16 track engineering and the producer filmaker director max b Miller asked if he could film Steamboat during recording and use us as his project for the class,we each got 4 16 track songs to record at the end of the link disbanded about one years later when I was attending mount st. Mary’s up in link started a new band called Bandolin with Tony Askins fiddle mandolin and vocals,jim schram voice bass and guitars and vocals,and me on guitar and pedal steel,Tony was a friend of Ry Cooders wife and would take songs to Ry out in his house in Santa Monica Canyon and get his opinions,that was cool!we also recorded with Thom Bresh out in the valley and played some gigs at schools in west la and Brentwood jim and Tony traveled with on my next adventure,here it comes,....
That next summer I went to study at the Ali Akbar college of music with Ali Akbar khan,the master East Indian classical sarod player.
when I was.21 I wanted to do something new to expand my music after studying composition at Marymount in Brentwood link either wanted to fly to Hawaii and knock on gabby pahinui’s door ( the master slack key guitarist) go to Mexico and study mariachi music or then I found a magazine that advertised the AACM in San link opted on the frisco area cause it was easy to drive there from Santa Monica .i arrived at the first class and Ali Akbar Khan took my Martin d18 and tuned it and handed it back to me .i thought yeah I used to know how to play this lol! Tuning was cgcgcf,a sarod link half way through the summer session my ears opened up and I heard East Indian music the same as western,and I realized I was really at the best music school to really learn music and how to compose.
We would practice 10 hours a day at least,not including about 5 classes or more a week which lasted about 2 hours link’d wake in the morning and eat get to link till supper,take a bath,put fake nails on (playing the sarod is playe
