Well, how did I miss that? I’ve got a Doppelganger!

Turns out that there is another me out there, who has been doing something similar to what I’ve been doing with Homesong, but for longer and on a bigger scale.

”ConcertsInYourHome began in 2006 as the first global house concert website. Out of thousands of scattered events, artists, and house concerts, we created a community”.

The guy who started it is a singer/songwriter called Fran Snyder. He’s over in Florida, and I’ll be getting in touch, just to say “hi” really. The House “concert” situation in the USA is far more established than it is in Europe. It would be interesting for me at least to get some of his feedback.

Fran has even done something that I’m intending to do, and produced a couple of DIY guides for hosts and for musicians. Check out the site and the guides. I’ve signed up to do just that.

Is Homesong now redundant? My own feeling is “the more the merrier”. Most people I talk to about Homesongs, have still never heard of the idea, let alone experienced it for themselves. At least in my part of the world, Homesongs is really still an idea that is waiting for its day to come.

But it’s nice to know I’m not alone.
