Steppers Music on the web has been (to say the least) difficult for many to find. Most of the time, the only place to find the music to dance to (for many people) is to get the music at the clubs directly from the DJ's who play it. In some cases, the sound quality of the tracks may be less than what you may like, parts of songs have been completely missing. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Generally speaking, the only way to get good music, in tact, with good sound quality has been to buy the whole CD to get that one steppers cut you wanted. With the advent of iTunes, that changed quite a bit. They took a page from the original music sites like the original mp3.com where bands were able to sell their music without the blessings of the large labels (a real shocker at the time). Of course they sent the (now infamous) RIAA up against them and soon the site was shuttered later to be re-born after being forced to pay royalties to God knows who (especially since the artists themselves were selling their music on the site) but the bottom line is they are now paying (I assume the labels). iTunes and Amazon are the two top sources for downloadable music now on the internet. iTunes music is generally downloadable in their own proprietary m4a format and isn't easily playable on "unlicensed" computers, where Amazon offers regular mp3 audio files.
In November Steve "Miggedy" Maestro's new website will debut with a music download store where you will be able to download music he has produced as well as some of his popular radio mix shows. To start with there will be five albums available as individual track downloads and you can order the full CD's too. I'll have more on this in the near future since the site is still under construction.

Support the History of Stepping Project

Please copy the message below and send it on to as many steppers as you can please!

This is an open message to ALL steppers. Please share it with as many people as possible.

 As many of you may already know I started a new web site for the benefit of the greater steppers community. It's called History of Stepping Project. I wish to encourage you to add your knowledge to the timeline. If you know anything about stepping, please share this with the public on this site. We are looking for all information related to stepping from it's beginnings to the present. The information literally includes everything from clubs and bars which held steppers sets and parties to contests and the participants and results, to when different steppers organizations and classes started, who the instructors were and are; Musical bands, and artists, DJ's, radio and television personalities, Movies, videos, and photos… literally everything stepping.
Creating an accurate historic timeline will go a long way toward helping the community take the next step in its logical progression as it continues to grow nationwide and will become a valuable resource for all in the future.
Your input, your knowledge and your effort have made the dance what it is today. Don't you feel your place (and your organization's) in the timeline is well deserved? I do!
Please send an email to your members or readers inviting them to participate. Place a link on your web site also please. All support is appreciated!

The effort requires more than just posting the information. The need for fact checkers, people willing to do some research exists in this important ongoing project. Just a few minutes a week can make a difference.

Thank You for your time!
