Hi,
Just a quick note to say hello. I have been browsing the forum for a few weeks now and thought i should join up as you all seem a great bunch of folks.
I have just got back into playing and writing in the last 6 months after a 5 year lay off. I had lost the passion but now it's back and stronger than ever before. The enthusiasm and passion around here is definatly going to be a big help to me and i look forward to being able to contribute.
I play acoustic guitar and sing with a definate tendancy towards dark folky type music. I have just set up a basic home studio in the last few months and i'm looking to finally finish an album that i started writing about ten years ago (better late than never)
Thats all for now and I look forward to getting to know you all.
Andy

Thanks for the welcome Emily,
The scene here in Glasgow can be quite tough most bar gigs they want cover versions although there are quite a few open mic nights springing up where you can get some original material across.
Favourite Scottish artist(in fact favourite artist full stop) would have to be John Martyn, 'May You Never' is my favourite song of all time.
Andy

Andy Welome aboard Andy! Hey, it doesn't matter how long it takes to make your album - the point is you make it and put it out there. It's a creative dream come true. CDBaby is a great place to hook up with when you've got the album done. I definitely am a fan of dark folky type music... I like sad songs Looking forward to hearing some of yours. cheers Hummin'bird

hi hummin'bird
thanks for that. I have checked out cdbaby after seeing it mentioned around here, it's a fantastic idea. I hope to put a couple of tracks up on myspace in the next month or so to get the ball rolling.
Really like the lyrics to 'sometimes' (just had a listen).
Andy

Looks like you've been pretty well welcomed allready but 'Nother welcome anyway. I wrote quite a bit of kinda' Irish lyrics a while back . Really about the displaced Irish.
You found a good place here to learn and teach. Kind of a cooperative venture

Thanks Wyman good to know you.
There's plenty of displaced Irish here in the West of Scotland, my grandfather was one.

Andy, Welcome..I'm a relative newbie myself. The JPF folks from around the world have been a very welcoming and informative group. An occasional 'lively' discussion doesn't hurt either. Steve

Welcome to the Party, Andy!
There's a bunch of great folks around here. What's really cool is that there is such a diversified knowledge base. If you have a question, just ask it. Whether the topic be engineering/studio, marketing/management, song mechanics or critiquing of lyric, melody or recording, there are people here who will happliy provide you with insight and opinion. All we ask in return is that if you see a question to which you may have a viable answer, that you jump on in!
We are all learners, doers, teachers.
All the best to you.

And yet another welcome to JPF.Take the time when you can find it to read some of these posts. Great ideas and great help on a lot of subjects. I corresponded with one of your fellow Scotts a few years ago. Then life got in the way. But, I found him again via e-mail(different address)Life's gettin in the way a bit again these days, so may I just say again welcome, and if you ever see Bob Leslie on the streets over there you say hi from R. T.! Bob's a good songwriter.
C Ya,
R. T.
