***APRIL UPDATE*** I have re-released an older track-"The Only Thing" which was expertly re-mastered by my friend and fellow Broadjam artist-John Walradt! John has spent quite some time upskilling his knowledge and understanding of how to self-mix and master and has added some really nice touches to an old favourite of mine in "The Only Thing". John has shown that it is possible to mix and master yourself if you have the time and willingness!

I think I'm a tad late but well done Robert on making BJ Earth. I don't read comments often enough or I might have noticed you were #1 on Earth, some feat. A great achievement.

Hey....thanks, Bob.....really appreciate that! The song peaked and fell faster than Boris Johnson getting out of the mess that he has created around party-gate!
Hope you are well? How's the voice holding up?

You're welcome. I'm well and starting to exercise my voice a bit more now, hoping it will be ok. Been working on a new song but still at the singing nonsense words stage hoping some decent lyrics will come to mind! Let's say I'm optimistic. I promised myself I would play more on my acoustic guitar and am finally getting some decent callouses on my left hand, it's amazing just how soft my fingers had become. I got away with it to some degree on my Strat with ultra light strings but without regular practice to toughen up the fingers the acoustic is unplayable even with lightish strings. I liken it to playing a keyboard, as against playing an actual piano, anyone can get something out of a modern keyboard, not necessarily so on a piano.
Off to that song again..................
Cheers,
Bob

Morning Bob,
Just a quick one to say congrats on getting into Earth Chart at No 2! I'm hoping it doesn't disappear as quickly as "I Never Thought" did when it go high up...the next day it bounced right out!!!
I am feeling your pain....when you're used to doing something, it's really not great to have to limit what you can do. And I can also feel your pain on the keyboard v piano! With piano being my real thing, I really loathe having to play anything other than a genuine piano. My dream setup is to have the luxury of a house with a room with nothing other than a grand in the room...utopia!!!

Hi Robert,
Thank you, fame at last. I've only ever had the same as you, fleeting moments in BJ Earth, so this is a thrill. Not actually worth anything, but good for the ego!

Yep....it doesn't really mean anything other than the fact that more than a couple of people think you have a great song! It is good for the ego although I wish the criteria around HOW and WHY were more obvious so that you could work out how you get into the charts!

That would be like trying to figure out how you can go from being in 14 charts in the evening and only 3 the next morning. Or even more puzzling is how the 6 pack competition works?!!
Happy Easter
