Hello Simone,
Finally made it! Great to have you. This is exactly where you are supposed to be.
Don;t let it intimidate you. First of all, we average about two pages a day. Sometimes more, or sometimes less, depending on what subjects every one wants to talk about. I most react to what other people start conversations on, but often I will put big posts on for regular reading.
It is my 'teaching" section, so there will be a lot of information on subjects. Most things that have to do with music don;t have really easy answers. I try to outline the topic of conversation, explain my opinion on it, and why I feel the way I do. I often have personal experiences with most situations songwriters and artists go through, or am working with people going through it so i usually can speak with some athourity on them.
I check in several times a day. Usually the mornings, to see what was posted over night. I check in during the day and usually at the end of the day,. depending on my schedule (I travel to the Smokey Mountains tomorrow for a songwriters festival so won;t be on as much. You are welcome to converse as much as you would like.
Usually, check the 'last" page, and then back up three or four pages and read forward. Usually catches you up quickly. If you have a question, don;t worry about it. Go ahead and ask it and we will cover what you want to know.
John Westwood, is the guy I told you about from Melbourne, and will be a good contact for you there.
You will get to know everyone as they come around. Many read along but might not comment. Watch out for "OD, (The Old Dawg), who is a guy up in Ohio and kind of the biggest flirt around here. Pretty harmless.
Just read along, ask away and see where it goes. Everyone are friends here and you are welcome to be here.
Hope you will hang with us.
