What a Wonderfully Clever Idea &mdash 02/13/05 - 03:19:37 PM
to feature your songs in a sampler like this.
Nice seques between songs.

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!

Several small snippets summating slightly soft
significance.

Surfers seek sounds, so Sandsmark sings.

Cool idea Joanna, &mdash 02/13/05 - 09:48:07 PM
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.

Nice one &mdash 02/13/05 - 04:52:17 PM
Brilliant idea, and a lovely selection with plenty of
diversity. Very enjoyable, thanks.

though. dagnabbit! i know we have probably never mer..
but you sound like someone I know.

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!

Fantastic Idea &mdash 02/14/05 - 01:41:12 AM
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.

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!

Great concept &mdash 02/14/05 - 07:43:15 AM
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!

Thanks, Syncho! What a lovely thing to say!

It worked &mdash 02/16/05 - 08:16:06 AM
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.

That's so cool, nyakki! I love it when a plan comes together. And I'll be
looking for your sampler!

Sandsmark Smorgasbord! &mdash 02/16/05 - 12:42:17 PM
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!!"

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!

What a great idea! &mdash 02/16/05 - 08:42:25 PM
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!

What a great idea! &mdash 02/18/05 - 03:38:25 PM
Thank you, ac! I love the fact that so many people on this site support jazz
singers.

Echo....echo.... &mdash 02/18/05 - 02:08:15 PM
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! :)

Thank you, Mystie! We need more samples on this site! Everyone should have
a sampler!

All of em are fun &mdash 02/18/05 - 04:09:10 PM
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

Well that saved me a lot of clicking. &mdash 02/18/05 - 08:51:34 PM
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)

Well that saved me a lot of clicking. &mdash 02/18/05 - 09:30:00 PM
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!

All of em are fun &mdash 02/18/05 - 09:22:09 PM
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!

Sounds great, Joanna! &mdash 04/15/05 - 06:06:56 PM
Your voice is great. Reminds me of Rosemary Clooney. I
like the harmonies and the "choir effect" in "These Tears."

[ Reply to This ]
Sounds great, Joanna! &mdash 04/16/05 - 05:43:24 PM
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!
