Please review my one page site www.MusicBusinessBundle.com , I will reciprocate reviews.
I would sincerely appreciate all comments, critiques, suggestions, etc. I am trying to get listed on google and so far I am not showing up, although the site has been around for close to three monthes now.
The loading time is slow, so I am aware of that problem, I just can't seem to figure out how to speed it up. All suggestions are welcome.

You might want to think about separating your site into pages - everything is located on the main page!
Without some navigation, the user has to weed through ALL of your information to get to the information they actually want to read.
Group things together move it to different pages.
PS. Your logo header is shifted to the left causing horizontal scroll.

Total page size: 106054 bytes (not including images, attached scripts or style sheets) --- with images your main (and only) page size is over 200kb ...
That's BAD. Dialup users aren't going to wait around.
Split up your pages, and use a hotlinking navbar at the top AND the bottom, that links each and every page together.
Here are YOUR meta tags:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
No wonder google doesn't index your site..... you HAVE to have more meta tags.
Here are some that I use all the time:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD PROFILE="http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core">
<TITLE>WEBPAGE TITLE HERE--SHOWS UP IN TITLE BAR</TITLE>
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="20 or LESS KEYWORDS HERE">
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="DESCRIPTION OF WEBPAGE HERE">
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://LINKTOYOURICOFILEHERE/favicon.ico">
<LINK REV="made" HREF="mailto:YOUR COMPANY EMAIL ADDRESS HERE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL">
<LINK REL=SCHEMA.VW96 HREF="http://vancouver-webpages.com/META/VW96-schema.html">
<META NAME="author" CONTENT="www.YOURWEBSITENAMEHERE.com">
<META NAME="generator" CONTENT="Hand Coded">
<META NAME="revisit-after" CONTENT="15 days">
<META NAME="DC.Language" SCHEME="RFC1766" CONTENT="EN">
<META NAME="DC.Coverage.PlaceName" CONTENT="United States">
<META NAME="DC.Title" CONTENT="NAME OF YOUR BIZ HERE">
<META NAME="DC.Creator" CONTENT="AUTHOR OF WEBSITE">
<META NAME="DC.Subject" CONTENT="20 or LESS KEYWORDS HERE- seperate by commas">
<META NAME="DC.Description" CONTENT="SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PAGE HERE">
<META NAME="DC.Publisher" CONTENT="NAME OF BIZ OR PERSON HERE">
<META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" CONTENT="TRUE">
</HEAD>

My suggestions.... split the page up into about 4 pages.... hyperlink them all together through a navigation bar..... and get the meta tags on your site.
Just mho :D
Hope that helps.

My Opinion: LEAVE IT ONE PAGE... You're leading the potential prospect to make a positive decision by educating them on the benefits! Don't break the flow!

there is FAR too much content for one page. Although gobs of content on your homepage is good for google, the people who get to your site may not wait around for it to load.
your site seems to lack any style or theme, so that end could definately benefit from a bit of rethinking.
i have a proposal...i'm in a band, and any help you could provide us in terms of marketing/branding etc., would be of great assistance, for which I would be willing to trade some web work for you.
Here's (http://www.myspace.com/bombast) my bands temporary site.
Here's (http://www.graphixplus.com) my main site, in which you can find links to other examples of my work.
let me know via private message, or email thru my site if this is of interest.
Try the header no header test. Split test if you can.
Bottom line, the above the fold area of your site is the single most valuable peice of internet real estate you own. So, write a smashing headline, text only, swap that in place of the image header and split test your results.
As for the long page versus multiple page arguement. That will rage on for many years yet. Bottom line, there are single long page sites making $10000000's and there are multiple page sites also making $10000000's...simple answer, test it....
Good luck< I can see you have done a lot of work and I wish you the best of luck
