I am taking a step back. I worked my socks off last year. Due to the emergency that happened. I tried different stuff most popular The man who second Lonely freedom. Me singing. Wish i could sing like Bowie. Maybe one day someone with the right accrutements. I tried to make it different. Released my version of the B52,s Rock lobster breakbeat mix no guitars. The big question is i copied Abba SOS figured it out. I use all the original synths and Pianos

Dovetailing on our previous chat: I do agree that it takes a village to raise a music website! You and Scott and everyone else behind the scenes obviously see this job as a labor of love. No one is getting rich off his endeavor. Love of the art form is the main incentive. And of course we have the wonderful content that we as artists provide that attracts and entertains listeners. We are an interdependent community. Scott does deserve a lot of credit for what he does both as an artist and a moderator and as all the other titles that we don't get to see. It's a "thankless" job but I do thank him both publicly and privately. We all face life challenges as best we can and lord knows we are all dealing with serious issues and yet we push on. We hang together, we make music, we support each other. I myself have found tremendous solace and strength in this community. It has been a form of salvation for me and I will always be a loyal supporter and team player. Whenever I count my blessings, this website is certainly near the top of my list. All for one and one for all, together we rise, divided we fall.
