Title: Out with the old... Post by: folderol on December 31, 2015, 09:30:10 PM Well here we are at the end of the year. It's not been such a good one. I was very sorry to see Oren's last message, and we hardly ever hear from James.
That makes me so sad. I just hope that somehow 2016 will be brighter. Anyway, a happy and sucessful new year to you all. Title: Re: Out with the old... Post by: bvdp on December 31, 2015, 10:13:36 PM Yes, yes, yes!
I'll not make any promises about next year (still 2015 here), but I will try to do some recording and posting. And is annoying is that it gets easier every year to do this stuff. We'll all better (I hope) musicians; and the tech is so much better. Really no excuses. So, why isn't the site overflowing? Damned if I know. So, lets all try to do more. And bring a friend! Best to all of you in '16. Title: Re: Out with the old... Post by: offthewall on January 01, 2016, 08:26:08 AM Well ... best for the new year to all.
I am still around but find my time so restricted these days. I will try to contribute more when I am able. The biggest difference I am finding now, as things have progressed, is that I used to post stuff here that I needed help with whereas now I am finding more self sufficiency. I suppose that is the price of progress. Most of the music I do now is 'real instrument' based so, most often, the only help I need is for drums or extra vocals and, sadly, these are elements which I can't get here. I could post finished songs, just for you to hear, but that often smacks to me like 'showing off' and I'm not really into that. I have also decided to stop venturing into the KVR contests. The stuff over there has veered considerably away from what I like to hear. I entered this month for the first time in ages and when I listened through the entries, for voting, I actually could not find ten that I liked enough to vote for! Almost no 'songs' and the majority of the stuff was in style/genre which means nothing at all to me. ??? Maybe I'm just getting old :-X So ... if any of you great folks have stuff where you would like some instrument or vocal input I make myself available. Once again .... best wishes to all. :- James.

I am always impressed with your arrangements and especially your picking techniques.
Life has been getting in the way here also and I have very little time for music right now. Hopefully that will change in the near future. Title: Re: Out with the old... Post by: elwoodblues91 on January 01, 2016, 10:39:29 PM I too,took Oren's departure pretty hard and it was a shock,as I can't fathom it.Though things on K-M are only a fraction of what they were,I am very fortunate to have had my life outside of K-M...take a major turn for the better,which has made my song writing flourish,lately and I am glad to still have friends here to share music with.
My life in the last few months has been the happiest of my life and I wish you all the same happiness in this new year!

Will do. Thom ... I'm so glad to hear that things are picking up for you, buddy. You been through a bad period. Let's hope you are coming out the other end. ;) James. |
