Welcome To My Site

My name is Junie Morrison and welcome to my Website.  I am a producer, writer, musician and “internet-ologist.” Through the years, I have had many great experiences, been a part of many interesting music groups and have met many more facinating personalities within and without the music business.

From time to time, I have been known to communicate with the people who come across my site, my true fans who are usually the only ones who venture this far into the inter-Sphere, this far off the beaten beat, in order to find me.  Some become members of my site but most just come by often, to see what is here.  For those of you who have, this welcome is for you.  For those who haven’t yet, this welcome is for you too and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Many of my fans have found me here, over the years but many do not know that I have a presence on the internet.  If you know someone who is looking for the funk I make, give them my url so that we can share the funk, the stories and new ideas.

You can visit my fully owned and operated store, use my forums, to let your own voices be heard or my Blogtroplis (you are here now), where I will post stories of bands that I have worked with and ideas around what I see happening with the business of music and the world in general, today.  I invite you to click around the site, make use of the resources you find here and enjoy.

I do have “a few active Facebook fan pages” and a Twitter account but not a MySpace page ( although I hear that there is a JS Theracon tribute site that one of my fans set up on MySpace ) but I do have a place-hold at MySpace Music [myspace.com/juniemorrison], to keep the squatters at bay!

In the meantime, I promise to bring the ‘funk’ to you here, in any way possible and to give you an idea of what it was and is like inside the funk I’ve found.

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Facebook

Almost everyone we know is talking about the latest iPhone and iPad.  It seems that Apple has indeed placed their fingers on the pulse of what people around the world want to use, in this particular future.  However, there may now be something rotten at Apple’s core…

Many are wondering if it is possible for a company like Apple or Google, for that matter, to handle the moral obligations associated with such a wide spread of consumer involvement with their products.  Maybe.  Although I personally like using both products [Apple and Google, that is], time may be able to answer that question better than I can.

Having said that, I wonder how many of us have been made aware of some of the specific changes in Apple’s privacy policies as of late.

Obviously, there has been much talk about Facebook and the privacy concerns surrounding their company at the moment… but not to be outdone, Apple may be next in line to share the spotlight.

In an updated privacy policy from Apple, it is now mandatory that in order to use apple products i.e. download apps or media, iPhones and Apple computers, users must agree that Apple can collect, store and share “precise” user location data.  If users don’t agree, they will not be permitted to download music, apps or videos from the iTunes store.  Experts have also stated that although Apple says that the data is anonymous, the truth is that “specific data sets can be used to identify people...”.

Do you think that Apple can avoid any blow-back by forcing users into a corner like this?

I have my own opinion but would be interested in knowing what you think.

Online Funk

Want to do some recording but without the massive outlay associated with hardware and software products like Pro-Tools?  Maybe you have an idea for a hit song or just want to lay some tracks down for DJ’ing at your best friend’s wedding reception.  If so, let me turn you on to something I think you will like.

No matter what the project is, you might want to have a look at Aviary’s free online web-ware called the Myna Music Editor.

This web-ware is something I have been looking at for at least a year or so but this year, Aviary seemed to have revamped the product and are re-launching it as a new item.

The concept is fairly straightforward, especially if you’ve used software programs in the past but even a novice should be funkin’ within a short period of time.  You can choose from a wide variety of pre-built samples that come with the web-ware and even record your own ideas into the system from your desktop.

Possibly the wave of the future?  Who knows.  For right now, however, Myna Music Editor makes getting your funk on, as easy as possible.

Be sure to have a look at some of the other Aviary offerings while you’re at the site and let me know what you think.
