JPF Home Page Forums General Messages General Message Forum So Where Does Your Song Rank On Ourstage?

This time I entered an older song, in the folk category, called "The Golden Age Of Steam" and am pleasantly surprised that it has apparently made the quarter finals. I had one (Please Emmalene) score a Top Ten finish a while back so maybe I am a folkie after all?

I have to be honest, though. I've not been really participating like a good boy should (although I have listened to and judged other people's songs, and added an Our Stage promo button to my blog, so I'm not a complete loser). I'd feel so awkward asking people to go and vote for my music. I just don't have the time to conduct such a campaign. I have entered songs though. I upload them, wish them luck and see what happens.

What happens is often amusing. The songs I consider to be my best set new records for poor performance. I think one of them came in at 656th. I wouldn't have minded but the were only 458 entries...

So, for a laugh, last month I threw up what I thought was a throwaway song. I say throwaway because it was written as a bit of an exercise to see if I could write something outside of my comfort zone. Since I'm from Northern England, I thought I'd enter it into the Americana category. It made the finals.

Further proof that I have no idea what I'm doing and that I need a manager. Are you in, Brian?

Good luck to all,
Steve R.
