I tuned in the other day and there was a guy just sitting there noodling on his guitar...

I look forward to catching said 'killer musicians' you refer to. I have watched many over the last few days and have somehow missed all of them. smile


one of the guys I was about to write off as a noodler, because the first time I saw him he was just dialing in his settings for about an hour playing misc nothings and apologizing about not knowing the words to any songs.. he turned out to be one of the best people I've found on there.

I wouldn't have known unless I scrolled down and played some of the links he had posted to his songs.

music is very subjective, but I like most of his songs a lot.


Also keep in mind the fact that Streetjelly's paradigm is open mic, only online. Open mic doesn't pretend to be a major venue populated by pros. Its a grass roots community access performing opportunity, more of a hobby than a profession. And so is SJ.

Most of the people there are the same people who would show up at an open mic. Likewise, people who look down on open mic will probably also look down on this. Its not for everybody.

It is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't... but I think it is a great idea that is making its creator some money, and giving a variety of people a place to scratch a variety of itches. YMMV
