Hi All, I would like to sincerely thank everyone on SZ for educating me on arrangers and helping make my decision on which one to buy. I would also like to thank everyone who posted performances on the last 2 months ejam. If I could perform I would post and maybe also critique. I hope someday to be able to play half as good as the most inexperienced of any of the performers I have heard. Here's one thing I can critique on: There was nothing in Gary's 1st post. It's obvious that Chas has been grinding his ax for a long time and is now frustrated that it is cutting nothing but thin air. Diki's right... perform something else if you don't feel comfortable with the suggestions. Maybe start a new thread with an alternate format if you have another idea. When I was a kid we played a game called "add-on" while bouncing on the trampoline. One person would start with a seat bounce, the next person would do a seat bounce plus a bellyflop, the next would add a different trick to that, and so on. In this vein any SynthZoner could post a song and challenge others to do the same song in a different style. Last I would like to thank Cass for the time and effort he puts into the ejam. Don't get discouraged, any given month will be better than another, let things run there course and (like water off a duck's back) keep doing the ejam every month. I enjoy and appreciate them and I think most everyone else does also. Thanks again, Raz

Well, shades of John Dileo. Such humility....excuse me while I go outside and throw up. Let's see now, you can't play, you can't sing, you can't critique, and you don't have an arranger, but you feel confident enough to come onto an arranger keyboard forum and make a clear declaration about my motives. Must be a wonderful gift. Originally posted by razoo_26: Maybe start a new thread with an alternate format if you have another idea.
Wow, what a novel concept. I can't believe no one else thought of it before now. Hey, keep those unique new ideas coming. Originally posted by razoo_26: Last I would like to thank Cass for the time and effort he puts into the ejam. Don't get discouraged, any given month will be better than another, let things run there course and (like water off a duck's back) keep doing the ejam every month. Sage advice, and very inspiring......whoops, hold on, I've got to run outside again..........Ok, I'm back. NOW, let's for once be honest about this whole 'ejam' thing. Without wishing to diminish Cass's efforts on behalf of the so-called 'ejam', the truth is, what is involved is starting a new post once a month (something most of us do anyway) with three song selections for members to submit.....or not. Likely as not, these song choices, no matter WHAT they are, are only going to satisfy 5% of the potentially-posting membership. So the main value of this monthly effort is to try to promote and maintain an interest in sharing member-produced music. The real-world result is usually a pissing contest of one sort or another, general disagreement on song choice or approach, the usual (and very predictable) commentary by DNJ, and (finally) very little music. This thing has become nothing more than a vehicle to castigate members we don't like while praising ones that we do. Nearly 70 posts and only three contain music. In the words of the "REAL DEAL", 'nuff said. chas

Originally posted by razoo_26: keep swinging that ax. that's what your good at. Well, it's nice to be good at SOMETHING. Listen Razoo_26 (what happened to Razoo 1 thru 25?), I don't know when you decided to single me out as a target, but if you think I'm going to let you take shots at me without responding, think again. BTW, if you're as bad as you proclaim, shouldn't you be spending all this time and energy on music lessons? Just saying. ......and for the record, the only way you're likely to get anything more than the current level of participation, would be if Nigel decided to ban any member that had not posted a song in the prior 30 days. On another note, how come so many people of the same persuasion (supposedly English speakers), substitute "your" for "you're". chas
