Donny,
I did post one recently and after 2 weeks of no response at all, I finally pulled it down. It was a new vocal piece, classical guitar for my current 101st cd.
I have come to accept that my work is not well received here, because it's different from the covers that the majority of you are doing here.
I get it though, that's the purpose of this forum really and there are others more suited to my work.
I do enjoy hearing what you guys are all doing though and some of the outstanding renditions that some of you are coming up with and your skills at your selected work.
From my first post on a music forum, seems like 100 years ago, it's always been about the music and the sharing and acceptance of each other's work for encouragement and help. It does not necessarily follow that we have to like all that we hear nor that it cannot be improved upon, it's just accepting that other artists are putting their best effort forward at any given moment in time.
If it needs work IMO, how can I help them get better through constructive criticism, without being offensive and breaking their spirit. After all, it's just my opinion and does not make it a FACT.
For me, after having done covers all through out the 60's and 70's from the folk clubs and college circuit in Chicago, to playing Vibes in a latin Jazz band in clubs on the west coast in the 80's, I finally wanted to work strictly on creating a body of original work to leave behind. Something that said I was here and what I left behind to the arts.
Does not make it better or worse than anyone else's just what I have chosen to concentrate my artistic efforts on.
Terry
