David, Mario, the total talent team (J/B), jim , billy, ed and all other users.
these pg forums are the only ones i'm on re the net. for several reasons.
one being..how can i put it...the largely "friendly" atmosphere.
and the other mainly being i'm busy with family life and creating songs for "s's" and "giggles". lmao.
i'm not sure another forum is needed.
i have no interest with various social media sites.
frankly i dont "get" posting every other hour or a couple of times a day what i might be doing on a social media site.
"gee folks i just brushed my teeth".lol.
so far in my short time on the pg user showcase forum , i'm rather impressed.(specially lots of nice friendly people.)
i post original songs looking for feedback , whether positive or negative.
because in many respects , when one is a lone songwriter like moi, one can lose focus.
sometimes a song one might think is good , others might not.
and a song one might think is bad, others might dig.
thus i feel other peoples opinions are a valuable input to the lone songwriter.
the above point is no different than what some studios used to do in the past and drag people off the street to offer a perspective on a song. i can remember sweating for ages once in a big studio, thinking i had done a great tune; only to be humbled by the "man off the streets" perspective.
one thing , i DO LIKE about the user showcase is the "collegial" atmosphere.
i would leave if it ever became like some very fractious net forums. cos i'm a person who likes friendly and happy nice places.
i think also its obvious there are going to be people on the showcase with many different skill levels.
from beginner to advanced. but thats good too, cos more advanced users can help some of the people possibly new in makeing their songs better. nothing bad about that.
even this old dog whose been around the block a few times keeps an open mind as to new ideas and techniques.
frankly i'm just a happy lad to still be around creating crazy songs.
i hope i make some sense.
best
always friendly and happy oldmuso.
ps if you think one of my songs "sucks"...lmao.
JUST TELL ME. I CAN TAKE IT AND WILL TRY N DO BETTER NEXT TIME.
