Hi everybody,
when your 70th birthday is already in sight, anniversaries are something like a ticking clock and I wouldn’t claim I’m still looking forward very much to them.
But today’s anniversary is something very special to me:, because I posted my first song / video here exactly one year ago and thus became member of an incredible community..
And since I‘ve met a lot of very nice people here (some even closer than just by their posts), heard stunning songs galore and learned a lot during those last 365 days this was an awesome experience for me and I wouldn’t want to miss one single day.
When I posted my first song I was convinced that it wouldn’t deliver many (if any) reactions, but you guys were very kind from the very first day on.
So I want to thank you all for a great musical year, for your kindness, nice comments and many very personal warm wishes to Maha.
And of course I want to thank the PGMusic team for giving us all the chance to present our songs on this wonderful forum.
All the best to all of you,
Stefan

Like you, I'm so very grateful that PG Music is part of my life. It's an amazing company with amazing products! And this forum is a really wonderful little corner of the world wide web.
Happy 1st anniversary!!!

Ta for the ta.
Your songs are engaging as are the lyrics, the back story and, of course, the videos.
Cheers

I hadn't been here long myself when I first encountered your "first". I can't say I remember the content exactly, but I remember well the spirit of the thing--the humor, the fun and "work" you and your friends and loved-ones put into it, the musicianship, and the overall amateur (and I mean that in the highest and most glowing sense of the word) professionalism without the big head. Instant fan.
Best wishes to you, Maha, and the crew.

We've been "here" for eight years and you and Maha brought a whole new dimension to our forum enjoyment.
Meaning a wonderfully entertaining presentation of great music and videos. The videos are intricate and hilarious but
behind them is always really well produced music.
Keep 'em coming and y'all take care of each other,
J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos
