Hello folks,
Eddie, (both of you) thanks for chiming in. John, please do send anyone over here. When I started this thread on this forum, it was always contingent upon people participating. The reason I have never cared for "Likes" or "pats on the back" is that it doesn't get much accomplished. If people care enough about making something work, they HAVE to PARTICIPATE. Without that, there is nothing.
Over the past years and months, I have seen all forums all over the Internet dwindle. And more and more people get into doing music. But the problem is that very few do music well and are more interested in putting what they are doing OUT THERE instead of finding out if it is WORTH PUTTING OUT THERE. I also understand there are ebbs and flows to anything. People get interested, have conversations, expand the dialogue. Then there are the negative sides, personal conflicts, lulls in overall conversation or subject matter. Usually when you have discussed something a million times, there has very little going on.
People get very involved in their own lives also. Eddie, I don't know how much you'll hear from Justin for a while. He was just here a few weeks ago, and took time off from work. He has a very physically demanding job, working outside in the heat all the time, and of course they had torrential flooding before he came out here, so he has his hands quite full. He is also on Facebook and does many things there. Easy enough to follow him there if you are interested.
Everyone has their own lives to lead. Eddie Rhodes, in my opinion, if you really want to be working on MORE songs and getting ready for Frank Brown, right NOW you will be getting out and PRACTICING it around Atlanta. There is a great site and now a YOU TUBE channel, all dedicated mostly to your city. Not much excuse why you can;t have things going on.
The point is that everyone has things going on, everyone is busy with their lives. I hope some can make it back over here and I am always around when someone has something they want to know or new people come around. But I am just not going to lead in every discussion and put everything up for everyone. They have to take some initiative on their own and start some conversation. I'll always participate and keep an eye out. But they have to start it off. I'll be around when they do.
MAB
