Hey Mike….
Thanks for responding to my cryptic query.

Well….here goes.
I’ve had my songs on soundclick since November 2008 and currently I have (15) on site.
I’ve never really promoted my material but do get a slight bit of activity when I ask for any comments on a mix on occasion.
I have got as many as 20 plays or so during any random month.
Usually, it’s just 5-10 a month at best and I had (3) months this year that had NO plays at all.

I’m aware the amount of listens on any music site means little in the BIG song writing picture but it’s a mild ego massage that some were obliging enough to stop by and give a listen….and I’m thankful.

On 12/11, like everyone else, I go to check if anyone did give a listen.
I about fainted….152 plays with an almost equal amount of listeners for each song.
I think “ok…that’s cool, just a wild random fluke and maybe next decade I’ll get lucky again”

Last night, after getting home from my wife’s company Christmas party, I decide to check in with my normal music site routine.
I go to soundclick and check my page….706 plays!
Again… with an almost equal amount of listeners ranging from 45-49 plays for each song….”come on (I ask myself), this song play graph has to be wrong!”
I pick myself up off the floor, shake my head a bit and begin to question the accuracy and think the site has been tampered with.
Oh…and no ‘comments’ on any of them which seems strange given that many plays.

Hence…this post.
I swear to Odin and the Sun God Ra….I’m not fishing here….but, the numbers just didn’t add up to me and I still question it in my third eye mind.

I only go to two music sites and this one being the most active for me for the last several months.
Lastly, if any here were part of that group….a sincere thanks.

That’s my story….sorry about the novel.
A good weekend to all.
