	What a Wonderfully Clever Idea to feature your songs in a sampler like this. Nice seques between songs.

	What a Wonderfully Clever Idea I did it for a friend and realized that with all the songs I have posted, it might help someone new to my stuff get a feel for what I have. So I decided to submit it. Glad you enjoyed it! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Seven Snippets Several small snippets summating slightly soft significance.

	Seven Snippets Surfers seek sounds, so Sandsmark sings. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Cool idea Joanna, You may just start a trend here..lol Nice to hear snippets again Slimmie Check out my latest song called Not Enough

Joanna	Joanna said 1748 days ago (February 13th, 2005)
	Cool idea Joanna, I hope it does start a trend! I'd love to be able to hear snippets of some other people's songs so that I can get a feel for what they do. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Nice one Brilliant idea, and a lovely selection with plenty of diversity. Very enjoyable, thanks. Check out my latest song called Amongst The Colours (w/ Luna Trick)

	Nice one Thanks, Rebsie! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	what a good idea a montage.. and a nice collection. I know your voice from somewhere though. dagnabbit! i know we have probably never mer.. but you sound like someone I know. Check out my latest song called Barbie's Letter

Joanna	Joanna said 1748 days ago (February 14th, 2005)
	what a good idea Thank you, Lily! I looked at your bio and I don't recognize your name, so I don't know where we would know each other from. Or why you'd know my singing voice (I've never sung professionally). But cool -- a mystery! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

Fantastic Idea
This is a great idea - and you`ve mixed the songs really
well.
And it works too - I`ve never heard your songs before,
but from the 30 second snippets I want to listen to them
now. Like the sound of `At First Sight` in particular.
you have a lovely voice.

Maybe its a bit early to suggest this - but in light of the
recent thread about MacAlbums, maybe this is something
to think about in addition to/instead - for the people who
run the site to create a genre entitled `samplers` where
people can post - well - exactly that - of their music.

In any case, I`m sure your idea will catch on - if I had
written enough songs I`d be stealing the idea today!

Not going to vote on this song by the way - I`ll do that
on the individual tracks.

	Fantastic Idea Thank you for your enthusiasm, Antony! It's great to know that someone who hadn't heard my stuff has decided to give it a listen. That was the point of this, and we're rarely so quickly rewarded! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Great concept Super way to hear previews to your music. Love listening to your silky smooth vocals. Wonderfully balanced, original, fresh, and smart use of those loops! Yea, I'm a fan! Check out my latest song called Jazz Praise

Joanna	Joanna said 1745 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	Great concept Thanks, Syncho! What a lovely thing to say! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

nyakki	nyakki said 1745 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	It worked You got me wanting to hear the actual songs. And I'm not ashamed to say that, if I get anything worth making a sample of, that I will, without hesitation, steal this idea :) Very cool. Check out my latest song called Maple Leaf Rag v2

Joanna	Joanna said 1745 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	It worked That's so cool, nyakki! I love it when a plan comes together. And I'll be looking for your sampler! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

Sandsmark Smorgasbord!
I've heard most of these songs already (and like them!) but
the way you've strung these little tidbits together is VERY
well-done! Determining the order of songs is an art in
itself. You've done this seamlessly and this "sampler"
flows very well from one tune to the next.

This conjures up an image of a scrolling view of your song
titles, zooming down the TV screen, various closeups of
your face behind it. "AVAILABLE IN CD OR EIGHT-TRACK
CASSETTE! NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES! OPERATORS ARE
STANDING BY TO TAKE YOUR ORDER! CALL NOW!!"

Check out my latest song called EPONYM

Joanna	Joanna said 1745 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	Sandsmark Smorgasbord! I'm the Zamfir of Macjams!!! Woo Hoo!!! (Man, that's a dated reference. Wonder if anyone'll get it?). Ah, thanks, you gave me a big laugh. And you're right -- I found it more difficult than I thought it would be to figure out which songs, and exactly which little chunk of each song, and what order, etc. It was fun, though! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

aclarke	aclarke said 1745 days ago (February 16th, 2005)
	What a great idea! I had listened to some of your songs but had missed These Tears until I heard this sampler. You have such a wonderful, jazzy voice! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

Joanna	Joanna said 1743 days ago (February 18th, 2005)
	What a great idea! Thank you, ac! I love the fact that so many people on this site support jazz singers. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Echo....echo.... I mean..this IS a great idea! I even heard something new on it. Nice enough to hear one song, but sampling several is stupendous! :) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

Joanna	Joanna said 1743 days ago (February 18th, 2005)
	Echo....echo.... Thank you, Mystie! We need more samples on this site! Everyone should have a sampler! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	All of em are fun All these tunes are fun, I just have to say that "These Tears" has a very nice sound, that really stands out to me. Not that the others are not special. But It just has a standout sound to me with nice vocal. Thanks Check out my latest song called Little Drummer Boy Variations

Well that saved me a lot of clicking.
Smart thinking. That's an excellent way to put your best parts out there
and see if you catch a fan or two.

With the volume of posts for some users I've come across for the first
time...it is just darn hard to listen to it all, and therefore so much can go
un-noticed. I immediately know which songs interest me the most, as
long as I'm willing ot listen to the whole thing. IT WOULD BE COOL IF
THERE WAS A FEATURE OR MECHANISM ON THIS WEBSITE THAT COULD
DO THAT FOR EACH JAMMER.

Smooth voice by the way. It reminded me a friend from way back, and a
memorable afternoon in Sedona listening to her singing jazz to me out
her journal notes. Thanks for that. I'll be sure to give yur stuff some
more attention. Great pipes lady! (that means I liked your voice)

Check out my latest song called Five Pound Samwitch

Well that saved me a lot of clicking.
Thank you, Uncle! I personally would encourage every Macjammer who has
more than a couple of songs to make up a sampler. I made mine to showcase
some songs that people may not have heard. I also wondered if it would get
people to listen to someo of the whole songs, and comment, but so far, I
haven't gotten any new comments on any of the songs in the sampler. Then
again, I really hadn't expected anyone to comment or rate the sampler, either.
There's just no predicting, is there!

Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	All of em are fun Thank you, Tiler! "These Tears" was my first foray into recording multiple harmonizing tracks on GB. With me, every song is an experiment, since I don't really know what I'm doing. Sure is fun, though! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

	Sounds great, Joanna! Your voice is great. Reminds me of Rosemary Clooney. I like the harmonies and the "choir effect" in "These Tears." Check out my latest song called NECAP Test song

Joanna	Joanna said 1686 days ago (April 16th, 2005)
	Sounds great, Joanna! Thank you, John! I'm a big fan of your music. I'd love to work with you some time. And Rosemary Clooney is a first. Usually people say Peggy Lee. I'm glad to hear a different name! Check out my latest song called Nellie G.
