Mike,

I want to say that I always look forward to your comments and I understand and appreciate the "rhythm" idea which has been on my mind lately.

I care about you and have great respect for you and I just want to address one thing and it is meant in kindness, but it upset me a little, so I will mention it with the best of intentions for your idea, I mean no disrespect to you in any way.

The only way to improve and grow is too keep doing, BUT when you keep doing, songs can be similar. Similar things or if not pushing harder in some way or direction then the growing slows down... Tams I'm just talking in general not specifically to you.
Its more for everyone, post a new song about every other day and see if anyone notices a vast improvement or change. It's just like dieting... See somebody after six months of NOT seeing them and EVERYBODY notices...



I think making a blanket statement is dangerous sometimes because it does come over as not being considerate to some and in turn has hurt my feelings, but I'm an over-emotional girl anyhow.

I can't imagine that this subject came out of the blue, knowing me and my postings had to be the kick off for such a topic, I understand you didn't mean to single me out, but hard for me to not see myself in it.

I believe if you could ever understand the process I go through to get music, you may understand why I post often.

If I fade away for even a month, I am forgotten and not taken seriously, I need to be around to be remembered, plain folks like me have to keep a stream of noise or we disappear in a crowd.

I need musicians to hear me and know I'm serious, and hard working and to get to know me and hopefully build up a desire to work with me in some way. So I create a presence and my heart and soul goes into EVERYTHING I do!!

I work and sing just as hard for Andy, Vic, Zeek, Ricky or anyone who ever dares to see me and let me find my dreams through them and for that I am very grateful and I can't imagine that any of them would ever tell you I don't give more than 100 percent every single time.

I work in many genres and try to not sound the same and it isn't anything that I get accused of yet..

I think my work ethic is a good thing for me to accomplish these goals.

I'm sorry to have to point this out to you and maybe this is more appropriate for a pm, but I would like for everyone to not think that I'm trying to put a bunch of crap (pardon my words folks, and Mike, I know you did not say this or even mean such a thing, this is just a statement by me)) repeatedly on the board for attention, it is all done with reason and with every fiber of my being.

Everyone is different in how they approach this board and everyone's music means something special to them and only them, so I am sure how a person posts and works on music fits what they want and what they dream to accomplish.


I am not typing this in any anger, just tears, because it means lots to me how people perceive me, but please understand I am only airing my opinion and respect you very much to air yours.

Maybe some will understand me better now.

Mike, I do appreciate you coming in here repeatedly, I am always happy to see you and hope you will visit other songs of mine.
