My main web site, PWCarr Music, is now optimized for mobile devices.
There is also a free mobile app you can download here:

You can get the latest updates, listen to music, check out photos and videos.
There is also a brand new Mobile PWCarr Music site that has links to my songs, videos, social networks, and more.
It is a work in progress. When I tried some of the links to play a song or video, they did not seem to work on my phone. Maybe I don't have the right app to make it happen, or maybe I didn't give it time to load.
Anybody want to check it out and pass along some feedback? It would be much appreciated.

Illegal Downloading
I put my songs on sites like Soundclick, Songplanet, and Reverb
Nation with the expectation that anyone with a little bit of computer
savvy can record anything that streams on the internet. I'm also
cynical (maybe realistic is a better term) when it comes to believing
that people have lower moral standards these days.
So my philosophy is that it is just the price you pay for promoting your music on the internet.
But that still doesn't make it right.
I've spent countless thousands of hours writing songs, rehearsing, performing, recording, mixing, and developing a craft. I've also spent thousands of dollars on the instruments and equipment to support it. I believe the end result has some VALUE. If a song gets on a radio chart, or if someone buys a CD or a download, that validates my belief.
Why do you buy a CD? Because you like the music enough that you want to own it. You want to be able to listen to it any time you want; not just when it gets played on the radio. It's the same for music on the internet. You can listen to it any time you're at the computer. But if you like it enough that you want to be able to take it with you and hear it any time, then you should be willing to pay a buck and support the artist who poured his heart and soul into it.
Which leads to another question: what value do you place on your art? Do you give it away -- make all your songs available for free download? If so, maybe you are just contributing to the growing mindset that music has no value and should be free.
