Jack Knight Songwriting Academy
Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music
WHEN WILL IT BE YOUR TIME????? THE SCIENCE OF THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE
"HE (SHE) IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE STREAMS OF WATER, WHICH YIELDS ITS FRUIT IN SEASON AND WHOSE LEAF DOES NOT WITHER. WHATEVER HE DOES PROSPERS" -Psalms-
I lived my life in this Music Business much to the comparison of the "Chinese Bamboo" Tree. when you first walk past this tree in it's 4th year of Growth ( 4 years is a long time), its not a tree at all...its just a small bulb coming out of the the ground. for 4 years you see nothing but a tiny shoot coming out of a bulb, during these 4 years all the growth is underground in a massive root structure that spreads miles and miles deep and wide into the earth. but then in the 5th year, the Chinese bamboo tree's grows up to eighty feet. You see you have to build down before you build up. the greatest builders always start building down in the ground to lay the foundation for a building before they build up, the pyramids of egypt , skyscrapers, bridges, everything is built with a deep foundation or else the structure will fall at the slightest wind or shift. I mean that to say all you guys here on On the songwriting academy site are very talented and can sing , rap and everything else, however in between time perfect your craft to the point where you even amaze yourself..when your, family, friends, me, diddy, get goosebumps when we hear your records.... If the time is not now for you, it will be just stay focused!!!!!

I agree with Ant Deville! Jack this site, and your ATTENTIVE involvement in what we do is incredible (I don't know how you keep up with everybody!)
Ant Deville said:Jack, I have been on other networking sites and this one is leaps and bounds above them. The amount of activity you put into this site is so awesome because it gives us direct contact with you and also from someone who has and is doing what we aspire to do. The amount of support and love that you show is truly a blessing and I appreciate you for it. I recently changed jobs and spent my savings to buy better equipment and invest in myself and grow in my music because I believe that if you truly want something you sometimes have to put legs under your faith and step out on it. I truly beleive that my day is coming and until then I will continue to work, not sleep, and support others during their days! Be blessed!!!

Would this be why there are SOO many One Hit Wonders out there?!? Because they refuse to develop their talent and discover themselves as an INDIVIDUAL. They worry about the other trees around them are doing that grow UP faster, but fail to establish as DEEP of a FOUNDATION? So when the pace of the Industry shifts, or the WINDS of ever-changing fans blow, they're left tumbled over because nothing was there to HOLD THEM DOWN??

Without the lower stones you cant built the wall to the highest.
Stone by stone it is raising and as more it rais as more it is visible.
Every little stone on this way is important to built the whole.
Everything big has a foundation where it can stand on, where it can grow on
And are the things they need time to grow and get beautiful not the best?
