Putting SOMETHING where your mouth is ...

[GregB]

I remember when I first started to 'network' at local music events, about 10 years ago, the majority or attendees described themselves as Singer-Songwriters. Yet on asking them for links to their works (or title names), only a couple of people could/would do so.

 

Obviously anyone can identify and represent themselves as anything they want, but I simply don't understand that mindset. Perhaps it's a sign of age, but I find mere aspirations quite odd as being the basis of the Singer-Songwriter.  Why is there such a lack of finished material?  Money? Time?  Skill?  Support?  Creativity? Technology? Psychology? Etc, etc..

 

Does having a book of 100 songs, kept in a drawer, have equal 'weight' to being vulnerable and releasing just one song for the world to hear and judge on its own merits?  ["If a tree falls ...."?]

 

So it amuses me that, in the Songstuff Community Forums, there are more than 150K posts in the main 'critique' sections yet less than 5K in the 'created' sections.   And before people pile on, I'm just making a factual observation that the 'doing' is outweighed by a massive 30:1.   

 

So let's MAGA  ... Make Artistry Great Again   ... and let's HEAR your songs! This is a supportive community.
