Facebook is just another vehicle for the same thing. If people have run short of things to discuss, moving to another platform won't make any difference.

This site thanks to Bob is vastly superior. If you haven't, test out the Search facilities. They're awesome.

Agreed, Iain. By use of the keyword search facility for the various sections, I have found the forum a great source of reference for information posted before my time as a member.

Although I don't sign in very much these days, I do lurk and have found very little to be of interest apart from Eric's development of the gigging equivalent of the VST plug in. The old crowd of the very early noughties Joey D, Cazz Firth, Nels et al are but distant memories. I think some have got tired and tried stuff elsewhere. When asked, I never mention playing Shadows music for fear of being laughed at--it places me in an age genre which is inhabited in the main by persons of a non cool certain age.

So we have members trawling You Tube for obscure links in order to fill in the gaps. Most members I've never heard of--but that's not their fault. What Charlie Hall must think when his patches are being ditched I don't know. What goes around comes around.

I have heard Charlie's latest project, albeit in its early stages. I predict that is exactly what will happen.

A possible improvement

Postby abstamaria » 25 Jun 2013, 05:56

What might be a good idea (if politically impossible) is to merge Shadowmusic, Charlie's site, and the Perth (TVS) Shadows site. There could be separate sections for EFTP, ETap, and TVS to preserve the focus on those. As it is, one has to post the same message in all the three sites. There aren't too many of us, you know.
