That was half-true about six years ago and about 0% true today.
Web-spidering is WAY more sophisticated now than keywords and meta-tags. The
short course on Search Engine Optimization: 1) Descriptive page titles that
are relevant to the page text. The more those two things are in agreement
the higher the indexing. 2) Outside links pointing to your site. The more
popular *those* sites are, the higher your site is indexed. Everything else
is a variation of black magic.

Don't want to burst any bubbles..............It's good to look
at.......but, if you want people you don't know to see it, you must add
META tags. Without these, the bots that view your site will consider it
spam, and getting to any level of success with search engines will be
hard. When I do web sites for people, the META tags are about 85% of the
job...........the part you have done so far is the 15%. I've spent over
two weeks doing good key word phrases for some three page sites.
It's like I said at the beginning: do you want people you don't know
to find the site? Or do you just want to have an address you can hand out
to people you know?

Definitely makes me want to hear the music! Classy and sohpisticated
is what I'd expect from the web imagery.

Good luck!

Thanks for the comments - working on better pictures as we speak. The
main 'who' page will have the mannequin faces replaced by actual photo's
that can be clicked on for a larger version.

Cheers,
