Years ago I was working a full time gig in Ocean City, Md. when a acquaintance commented that it really bugged him that I was working steady when he knew musicians walking the streets of Baltimore, Phily and New York that could play circles around me. When I first started out I had several people tell me I should just play & not sing because I couldn't sing worth crap. It bothered me cause like most musicians I have an ego. The more I thought about it though the more I came to realize that in my case it wasn't how great a musician I was, it was the fact that I played the songs the folks wanted to hear. In time I got better equipment and worked on a better sound.

However, all of that being said, I'm not going to submit a tune with single note melody and basic style background. It seems that a great deal of the stuff posted is really rather mediocre and the performer would be best served by practicing on some advanced skills.
