Just remember the good Dr. G's words, "Have Fun"


Hey just wanted to mention that we are not amongst the “cravers.” smile The top of the forum is simply where they go when you respond to a review and keeping them on the front page for a while results in many more folks discovering and listening to your music ... including folks that do not flip through pages of posts for whatever reason. A popular song on the forum might get a hundred plays on Soundcloud in a month. FWIW we get thousands of plays on Spotify and that is gratifying but not to the extent of receiving User Showcase reviews from a community that we consider friends. All meaning we enjoy and appreciate the Showcase forum community created by PG Music and have yet to find it exhausting ... although some folks who drop a song every few days might! smile And from reading the stats Dr. Gannon cited in this years award post it would appear that the forum has served both members and PG Music well.

PS We enjoyed your posts and wish you’d not found it exhausting. Us? We spend relatively little time producing music (About one song per month) but we do find our daily interest in hiking and mountain biking to be exhausting! smile
