ever heard the saying 'talk the talk and walk the walk'?
yeah. you talk the talk.
yeah. you talk the talk.
To the point, Sir!you big note yourself since you turned up here. you don't comment on anything but go out of your way to promote yourself. you are a BSer. you don't give a s#it about anyone here but yourself. you have NEVER commented on a video of mine the whole time you've been here. hey bro, actually engage w/ people, not just the ones who can 'serve' you. then you might receive more of what you seek. get out of your own ass.
Agreed, Mark .. If it weren't for The Seasons I would never have learnt ANYTHING; so playing and learning is a big plus for me. We are, though, part of a Forum - the definition of which is "a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged." If we operate in a vacuum and never acknowledge the existence of our fellow Seasonistas by listening to and commenting on their contributions, surely that is defeating the object of the exercise ... you might just as well post directly to YouTube.The enjoyment should be In the playing and learning, comments should be regarded as an unexpected bonus. I would rather have no comments than twenty utterly meaningless comments feeding my ego for all the wrong reasons.
Absolutely not! But, if we don't comment, how can we let others know that we have actually listened? (I suppose there IS that facitlity now to add your name under someone's video on the Forum, but, too me, it doesn't mean a great deal.) Sorry ... am I becoming tedious????This particular forum Is a sharing forum where we share our songs and hopefully those listening will like It too however we should never force an audience to clap.
I think It's a fair assumption to presume that when we put out a song that It's generally listened to, If not by all then by most as listening Is a huge part of the seasons experience and participation.
The size of your audience doesn't matter. Dan Tyminski and rescue dog, Winnie.
And on ukulele…
i'm like you Andrew.I am fairly new to the seasons and I do appreciate the community nature of it. It is nice to have people view or like my entries and comments are a nice bonus but in the end I just enjoy making music whether it’s to other people’s tastes or not. It is also great to have that bit of a push or inspiration to record and sometimes write stuff within a supportive environment and I enjoy being exposed to music from genres I have never had much to do with. I try and listen to most, if not all entries in a week. As an extreme introvert who isn’t great with words and conversation I have possibly not commented as much as I’d like to, as often I just don’t know what to say that doesn’t come across as trite or meaningless but I’m trying to do better. It might take me a bit to feel able to cope with hosting.
There is a very good singing piano playing dog called Buddy Mercury still active on YouTube, I believe, but here's the late Holly who used to butt my melodica with her nose in an attempt to play it!
