OK, I couldn't help myself, it's just so exciting that I would happen to be on the same web page as Michael Manring!! Even if it's for two entirely different reasons....  When will this ever happen again?!?! SWRsound.com
(Oh, yeah, I should point out that I'm Amy from Clatter for anyone who doesn't know!!  ) |

I see Michael also makes the top of the local heroes page in a nice greyscale masthead pic (just to prove that I really went and had a look  ).
Congratulations on getting onto the SWR page.

However, what I'm looking forward to is a couple of nights we've just lined up at the end of May at 'Jazz After Dark' in London - a couple of late night sessions with a much more jazzy vibe.
Therefore, I was working along with my Mingus play along this lunchtime, walking through 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'. Steve - it looks like I might be back to the jazzy stuff for my next lesson

great news on the coverage on the SWR site - that's excellent - hope you get lots of hits out of it...
Wulf
jazz is good - funk is good - soul is good... just bring it all to the lesson, and we'll get you moving in the right direction...

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: MOUSA | | Thanks Steve! Every little bit helps, eh? Now, if I could just get an endorsement....  I think it's really neat that SWR does that for us little guys. Makes us feel like we have a chance at becoming something some day!  |

|  | Extravangant Bass-ist! | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: London UK | | ...I think what you've got there is an endorsement! They are endorsing what you do by feeling it's good enough to be featured on the website... Getting free stuff worth having is actually pretty rare - if you want to use crappy gear, companies will throw it at you. But it's got to be paid for somehow, so if you're not paying for it, someone else is...
A lot of those kinds of deals are worked out in exchange for some sort of promotion. I've done clinics in exchange for gear before now, but that doesn't really work out free, as I've still got to pay the mortgage somehow, and telling the bank I got a new amp isn't going to get me off from paying it...
Cheers!

Thanks for spelling it out so clearly, Steve! It sure helps to have someone with experience guide those of us who still flounder!  |

In fact, depending on whether you can access the webserver logs and what format they're in, you may even be able to see how many people have come across from reading the stuff on the SWR site.

My favorite part of the stats is being able to see how many countries are represented. I think it's thrilling that people from all over the world can visit our web site! |
