Thinking is the best way to travel.....

Mike's Comments:

Let's make this a year of change, a year of peace and a year of music.

First start by embracing change in your life. Since all life on this planet, including human life is constantly evolving, we can always expect changes to occur. When one door closes to us, another will open. So don't fight life's changes, embrace them.

Second, do something that encourages Peace in our lifetime, on our planet. Volunteer or join a peace cause!

Finally, add more music to your day. Remember when we got turned on to a new artist or song every day! Go online to Songwars, iTunes or read reviews and download a new song that speaks to you! There is still good music to be discovered. Music that tells us a story. Music and melodies that we want to sing along with!

Remember to feed your mind, your heart and your inner self!

Mike Pinder's Songwars is pleased to announce it's first winners of the Songwriting Competition! We hope you will check them out and have a listen to these wonderful musicians and songwriters! Songwars is a great way to discover new music and support the efforts of songwriters around the world!

From a California garage to the Royal Albert Hall... Mellodrama is a Documentary film by Dianna Dilworth that explores how the haunting sound of an ingenious contraption called the Mellotron changed the production and texture of popular music.

Mellodrama chronicles the fascinating fifty-year history using interviews with artists, producers and players to tell the story of the Tron and a world of invention and possibility.

Dianna interviews Mike, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), Rod Argent (the Zombies), Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), Ian McDonald (King Crimson), Brian Kehew, JonBrion, Matthew Sweet, Michael Penn and many others, who used the Mellotron to create wonderful Tron-scapes for music lovers around the globe. From the look of the promo on you tube it should be an interesting Documentary......Keep on Tronin'
