A thousand pardons if I bored or offended some of you.

Sorry if my blog and opinion is old hat but it was merely an observation as a new member. It was meant to be constructive however in light of my new awareness of some consternation I may have created I will just move on with my own opinion and wisdom. Please keep this in mind; my only motivation is to be a supporter to all that endeavor to make music a positive component in their life regardless of whether it is intnended to be vocational or avocational. I support you all unequivacally.

How about some honesty with class

Spent a few hours roaming this site. I find it a bit disturbing that the reviews are sometimes less than honest. Granted there are many good, excellent, and great artists as well as material to be found, however all the glowiung reviews on the mediocre and just plain awful stuff is a bit hard to swallow.

The Music business is a cruel and cold business and I very much appreciate all the positive support you all give each other. (As it should be) but in my minds eye appropriately worded constructive criticism would provide a platform to broaden the artist's horizons and development if in fact it was intended only as a suggestion or reccomendation for improvement.

I have been a performing artist for more years than I care to mention and I will offer this. I learned more and improved as a player when I payed attention to the less than glowing reviews I received.

Aa a reviewer with no known credentials never give a bad review to berate or demean a fellow artist but rather suggest things that might stimulate the artist to explore alternatives. A critical review is not a bad review but it should be an honest one.

Just my thoughts for all you aspiring artists. Keep up the good work I have listened to a bunch of excellent material and talents across so may genre's.
