I miss our times on the JS forum..even though it was basically all of us here that posted mainly with a few others...And the contests were fun I thought..but JS is def a ghost town now...I think although we are all here, everyone has seemed to hit some hard times or just been busy..I know my own difficult patch has made it harder for me to focus on music and also tends to make me withdraw more and not interact as much..Today I am having a good day so I thought I'd make the most of the opportunity and say hi coz I would hate this forum to become a lil ghost town..
I hope everyone is doing ok especially you Rob..I am so appreciative of the time and effort you have put in, in mastering my songs over the past two years..I have so enjoyed working with most of you here with songs..I have so many songs I am proud of with each of of you..covers with Rod, great little tracks shared with me from Dave, lots of lyrics help and full songs from Joseph and of course a whole album and more with Quirky..I have enjoyed listening to others posting their songs here too and hope more get posted..
Lets continue to spur each other on with our music, coz it is a beautiful gift within us all

I hear ya Mel!
I miss the JS forum too because the dynamic between us was different then. We were all working with the same program for the most part, and it was amazing how many ways we were able to bend it. For me, meeting all of you was so exciting....my music background up to that point was basically sitting in my room listening to some tunes and trying to create something of my own with my guitar. I had no way of knowing if the music I had in my head was worthy of anyone else hearing it. So for years....I played around with my guitar and that was it....I was my own critic, and I was too shy to play anything in front of anybody. My guitar playing still sucks but I've learned so much by knowing all of you.
After I found JS, I wrote a song and finally got the courage to post it on the JS forum. Robert was the first person to give me some feedback. His response was positive and it prompted me to do more. And I'm so glad I did.
Mel, Robert, Rod, Crystal, Hatch, Das, Wyot, Danny, Ron, Mick, Joseph, Omega, JKenney, Matt, Drac ......and let's not forget Gilligan, the Professor, Mary Ann, Ginger, the Skipper, Lassie, Flipper, (lol)......and so many others. All of you have helped to shape my life for the better, and I love you for it !
The title of that first song I posted on JS was called "Walk Steady". For me it means..."Do what you want, and do it with your heart" Here's the link.... app.box.com/s/9njeacmepj4jy6sjevg3
Mel....I don't always get to do what I want to, but my heart's still in it just the same.
Dave

Same here Mel, I hope Robert is doing good, I have been working alot, and i need more time to explore new ideas, one day off a week just isnt enough for me, I need to be able to stay up late, and also a spark of creativity. Dave and I go way back ,we started JS about the same time, Running with the Bulls, and now they do Bull runs all over the place, that should have been the theme song! |

Thanks for responding guys coz I'd like to keep this forum going.. I know we are all busy etc though..and yes its amazing to see how far we have all come..I still use jamstudio and if I never stumbled across it I wouldn't have discovered the music within me or met you all which has been a wonderful thing :-)
Thanks for posting your first js song..I never heard it before.

I too, miss the old board. Unfortunately that's what happens when drama goes down...I have been busy with work and life in general, having a four month old and a five year old about to start school, my life has been filled with a lot. Doctors appointments, school shopping, going to the state fair, working and what not. I've been working on my music on my days off. Yeah, I miss it too...

Hello All, I miss you all too! I am sorry for dropping out of the forum for awhile, but I had a small setback. My chemo treatments had caused some bad problems and I was out of commission for a little while. I am doing better now and even getting out a bit. I know I left a few hanging with some projects and I want to apologize for that. Please contact me and let me know where we left off and we can get back to business.  Robert |

Ant is gone for good. I'm still an administrator over there...I'm R2D2. There's nobody posting music on the forum, and I'm thinking.... we should take it back and help JS...just like we used to . We were just what they needed, and we needed them too. We can have it both ways....the way that we all started it (JS)...and the way that Hatch gave us when we all needed someplace to run to (MFTP)....each are cool. I say.... let's do both !
