Who belongs at SlideMeister

[nadlerus]

After a recent controversial visit I thought about who should join/visit/participate in the SlideMeister forum.

Seems to me that this is a place for about everybody - beginners to pros, hobbyists, students, enthusiasts ...
Reasons for visiting may be learning, getting feedback, showing new developements and recordings, asking questions, seeing friends etc.
This has always been an inclusive place, I think consistent with the administrators goals.
This is a very difficult instrument, and the process may be daunting, but with good intentions, participants can find help from the members.
So bring on your questions, play your favorites, share a story, promote your music and bring peace and harmony to the world,
I'll keep trying.

I routinely refer folks to the site, even if they don’t become members.

Yes Neil, that Zoom meeting was a bit bumpy, but don't stop dropping by. In fact, feel free to stay longer and join the fun.

So, after almost 25 yrs. on SlideMeister (30 on harp-l), my main purpose was to help others. Mostly with maintenance and repairs. My number of post reflects this. I have a reputation of making something out of nothing. And there were several yrs. where the post numbers weren't recorded. I hardly stop by anymore at my age as I have said enough. It's time for the younger generations.
I also play a bit of harmonica.

All good stuff, brother! 🥰

You present no-nonsense, practical solutions to our

This is a very difficult instrument

He said, as he played piano with one hand and bass with his feet.
How tough could it be?
