Hello Donny,
you've posted a few songs but have barely engaged with others in the forum.
Cheers

Hello Donny,
you've posted a few songs but have barely engaged with others in the forum. Hi Racy, well I won't be posting close to 6K posts like you have, that would take me about 2000 years. I have enjoyed quiet solitude for many years, some say I am a hermit. I don't have social media accounts but I do have a YouTube channel for my work as a song writer/busker. The work I have posted on this site is done because it uses BIAB as my back up band for my traveling busking tours in northern west USA. The track I posted today is the BIAB band that backs my song up. My plan, if I can ever get extra cash is to 'live' feed the busking tours, which include me singing and playing on my trike with the amp in the rear basket and BIAB on a laptop in the front basket. Since this is a PGMusic website, I just thought I would let people hear how I use their software. Maybe spur a few ideas for the up-and-coming humble songwriters. BTW, if you want the chord work, or theory explanation or any questions about song writing just ask. Vibrations are key.

Dear Touring Busking Donny Gee Hermit, I'm not sure how any of the above relates to my comment. You could, as you are online & posting, listen to the work of others with minimal extra effort. Not me & mine but the fine folk who've listened & commented on yours. You might comment, make suggestions, lend your wisdom to others. You don't need to be Mr Party, Mr Friendly, Mr Racy or even Mr Moderate. You already use this social part of the website. Hermit status is fine: over the last two years or so I clap eyes on fewer people in a month than I did in an hour in 2021.
Cheers

Donny,
Neat composition, good progression and clear mix. Listens well and thank you for sharing.
---
I will try to re-word what (I think) Ray is trying to say. Unlike big platforms that build their model on distribution, User Showcase is a more like community creative space where (mainly) artists listen to other artists.
Ask for opinions, suggestions, collaborations, see what others are doing... To be heard, you listen to other folks work. It is not mandatory at all, but that keeps dynamics healthy. Also, it's a good idea to space out tunes to give people time to respond...

I have a total of 15 posts of which 8 are re-posts, you know, interaction with forum members. Let's see that is over 50%. You cannot see that I do listen to other artists here, so assuming I don't would be inaccurate. Have a wonderful day. BTW! You have posted twice in this song thread and not said anything on the subject matter. Again, have a super day and nice to meet you and thank you for your advice.

Cruising is the right genre for this song.
Nice RT work and mix.

Hi, Donny. As others said - smooth and breezy, a pleasant listen. Thank you very much Dcuny, I was able to infuse some 1st and 2nd inversions into the chord structure. If you want to play along, play in the key of B minor. The words and my playing are not recorded as I do that live busking. Thanks again.
