Diki man that arranger chip on your should keeps getting bigger & bigger eh? You need t give it a break already, its getting tired at best. Just be thankful you play music for a living in what ever way you do it if its working for you.....your way is not every one's cup of tea. But I have to give credit to anyone who makes a whole hearted effort in this business and makes it a success in any way possible.

Success is turning up at the gig and inflating my pocket arranger and PA
Success is walking out into the crowd, and having no-one even care I'm not playing (or if I ever was!)

Zuki "correctomundo" as Ian would say .....thank goodness for private emails where we still can share things with whomever I think the posting of songs here scenario is well over with whatever peoples reasons & attitudes, or excuses are. Lets just enjoy the discussions & move on.

I think that the lack of somewhere on THIS forum for posting performances, is possibly one very good reason there is not a lot more posting by members.
I see on other forums with this facility, people (some who frequent this forum) have no issue with posting music for others to enjoy.
This is not a criticism of how Nigel runs it, it is his forum and he is entitled to run it anyway he likes, it is just an observation.
I for one never use download servers, for security and spam reasons.
We should always remember there are many reasons why people do, or do not do things, and those reasons may not necessarily be what we think or assume.

Success for me some day will be when I grow my hair long and straggly. Then I'll play a beach community somewhere on the coast of Florida to an audience of drunks and pot heads. Hey man that would be cool,eh. Then I can sit back and laugh at those who play nursing homes for kind old folks, who deserve the respect, compassion they are getting from one man band nursing home entertainers.
Sorry Capt Russ, some things just go up my backside sideways.
