These are the Hits for February - Column 2 shows the number of actual "hits" or people who listened or downloaded soundfiles - Grand total 26 hits. Ok, ok - 14 or 15 of them were probably me... jeez.

I submitted three songs to a peer review for ASCAP. Most of the submissions were real "songs" like you'd expect to hear on the radio. Then I have to listen to nine songs and rate them (remember American Bandstand? "uh... I like the beat, it's good to dance to..."). And now, I just feel old - I was never with it. My lyrics either come from nameless or dead poets. I never did get into drums or electric guitar. I'm not much good to dance to... I am not where it's at. Neither am I very "avant garde"... No symphonies or operas, no commissions or tours. I'm not even on YouTube.

I like my music. I go to my blog and listen to my music. I'm one of the precious few. But it's all a vanity - a self-indulgence. I play computer games, I go to work, I sleep, I drive to the next gig and work and go home, eat something, play a computer game, read my email, walk the dogs, listen to my music until I fall asleep again.
