Lets all take a deeeeep breath and think about Rockpage....

Ahhhhhhh back from a nice long weekend. This was a good read. Nice a lot of people chimed in.

Thanks for the welcome backs on the board and the PMs. It IS good to be back. I needed a self imposed break from it I guess. Paul, I asked for my account to be deleted for my own reasons. Fair question though

A lot of people have asked how Noah and Aeb are doing. They are both doing well and are living in L.A. Both are doing some gigs here and there, but nothing solid. Noah is writing again. I think its fair to say LA is not Central PA and they have found it difficult playing music out there.

A few have mentioned the topic of this thread keeps coming up every month or so. Not sure. Perhaps there are a few like myself who get tired of the pettiness and disrespect?

Utopia on rockpage? Ha ha....hardly It would be boring if we all agreed on everything. But, it would be nice if this were a place where "more" people could feel comfortable posting without fear of getting flamed and all. As far as I know, this is the only internet forum we have for our area outside of Vocal Youth.

Whats wrong with setting a higher standard for this place if it attracts more people and makes Rockpage a more valuable resource for the area? Im just asking the question...not saying this is how it should be. It is a music forum is it not?

I think its possible to have more balance so ALL can be pleased. Create a MUSIC ONLY category. Its not difficult. Then the folks who enjoy the shenanigans of the GENERAL DISCUSSION area are happy. Hell, it may or may not work, but why not give it a shot. Shake things up a bit....make it a tiny bit more musician and newbie friendly

As much as I am complaining, Ive also BENEFITED from Rockpage over the years in several ways. Ive made some friends, met some cool people in person, got a few gigs, shared and learned info and have had a lot of laughs. Guess thats why I decided to join back up At this very moment in my music career I have never been more busy and content. I dont "need" Rockpage, but there may come a time when I do. Id like to support a local music community and try to make it the best it can be. We all know the landscape for the local gigging musician has changed a lot over the last decade and it hasnt been for the better, sadly.

This is just input from 1/3200 of the Rockpage community. A lot of people are perfectly happy with the way it is. I guess I will always be one of us who promotes this sort of an idea. United we stand, divided we fall.

I liked what you had to say here..your not alone.. i would be 2/3200

I took a long break from Rockpage. I still dont post much. Half of the topics I ignore, I'll read and respond to the ones that pertain to umm...MUSIC.

I think someone said earlier that there should be a "music only" discussion room and a general discussion room. I think that is a great idea.

Did BDR get that necklace from Wilma Flintstone? I thought maybe you'd know.

Yes, and he paid $15,000 for it.
