What a great, and needed post. I've always found it strange that as creative and artistic as many of us think we are; how much we stay in a our own little limited boxes.

The creativity and willingness on this forum has been pretty amazing; especially as of late. I'm not saying that we always need to be doing something entirely different; but breaking out now and then is so useful.

I feel the challenge for many established bands is walking that line between "it sounds like all of their other stuff" and "they have changed. I don't like their new stuff."

With us, we have so many freedoms to just be us. I call that a Snyderism to live by.

J3 and I disagree a lot but that was a good exercise. (And I think I won the writing "contest"... LOL!)


I've actually found this a bit comical. Here's my take...you won. If you are NOT looking for a prize; then that experiment was actually my idea. However, if you ARE looking for a prize; it was J3's, JC's or whoever is willing to give you a prize. lol

I would love to have another one of these this summer. I found that so much fun. I sort of wished PG music would have bunched those together to show someone new the flexibility of what can be made. I love all of the entries.

I think you got the people you disagree with a lot mixed up. wink

Well, back to writing some Afro-Cuban Country Jazz Metal. Now, if I could just find "me" bagpipes...
