I happened across your board. I come from MA but have lived in Tampa for 20 years now. I am curious as to why your JPF message board is not being utilized. It seems that there are plenty of people out there because you have over 200 views on this message but no comments. I think area musicians may be missing out on some important networking and just plain music fun. These boards can do a lot to bring people together. If you get a chance take a look at the Tampa board it is a constant source of connection and support. I believe area open mikes help to link many of the members together in frienships and support. Wish you the best of luck, it is people like you that can make something happen.
