I think there are a number of reasons people won't/don't respond to a music posting. DonM mentioned one; you've got to make it easy for them. Others are, 1. They simply don't like it, and prefer to say nothing rather than say something negative (especially if the poster is sensitive to criticism), 2. Some might view it as a "look at me" post, seeking affirmation, 3. Many may look at the song titles and decide they aren't into that type of music and won't bother to listen (check the number of views vs the number of responses), 4. Some will listen to the first few snippets of the first song and if they aren't impressed or don't like it, won't listen to the rest, and 5. some are more interested in the technology, especially the 'latest/greatest' technology, than in the music or the quality of the performances.

I don't think you should take it personally because you put a lot of time and effort into something and didn't get the response you'd hoped for; that's the risk of every poster who puts something personal out there for public scrutiny. Hey, sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. Most people here like Don's music, including me, and I don't even like Country music - but I like the unique way he presents it, especially his guitar and piano riffs which I find very 'authentic', and also the underlying humor that's present in so much of his work (and I love humor, I find it uplifting). But even Don admits that responses to music posts are fickle and unpredictable; sometimes it rains and sometimes it drizzles - FOR THE SAME PERSON. Take it with a grain of salt, Mark, and keep posting. Remember, it's an 'offering', and people can take it or leave it, it ain't personal.

Have a good day,
