This saddens me. Here is one of the nicest and most talented contributors feeling shunned. It is disheartening enough not being acknowledged for a musical contribution without feeling downright shunned. I seriously doubt anyone here would do this, but The fact remains that Paul feels this way, and, perhaps, others are losing heart for the same reason-DEAD SILENCE.

I am not one to lead a rally, but agree with Diki and others that resurgence of this fine forum is possible with a little support. I, for one, will try. [/quote]

Thanks Bernie, I don't think anyone is deliberately trying to shun anyone, I just think perhaps we don't want to take the time to fully listen or comment on someone music. I understand we are flooded with all sorts of music to listen to nowadays.

I'm just trying to say, when some uploads there music here, we as a community should try to show some acknowledgment, be it constructive criticism, praise, or simple appreciation. I think we all as musicians realize how much effort it takes to record, prepare for a performance,
land a gig...
