Thanks Kristi, I just changed my song back to Country, I hope I am doing the right thing. Thanks also for your help, I will go and give it a go, see if I can find it under Country now.

It shows up on the bottom of my profile how many times it has been played, 7 times so far,but I will lose any votes that I had because I changed it from singer/songwriter to country.

Thanks

Michele

I think it is best left in the country category. Or maybe wait until May to really enter it. Spend some time listening (or judging) entries in Singer/Songwriter, Country, Alt Country, Folk, etc, so you can get a feel for where best to enter your songs.

Good luck at OurStage!

Kevin

Thanks so much Kevin, I made it 1000 views, cool.

I entered it under Country, I actually did have a go at judging, that was fun, but a lot of songs hey, Kevin what is Alt Country?
Any way I will see how my song goes under Country, and I entered it, in April, May, June round, I hope cause it said I could enter for those 3 months. It is really confusing, but I will figure it out.

Thanks a bunch Kevin for all your support.

Hi All my JPF Chums!

I just want to say personally a big thank you, for all your support with my song. Since joining JPF, I want you all to know, you are all such an inspiration to me, and have touched a special place in my heart.

All the money in the world can't give me what I have here on JPF, special friends.

Thank you all so much!

I will let this song go on it's merry way back through the posts!
