I can try to do that- but narrowing down the list of people I admire here will be tough...

If you make it a weekly thing you won’t have to narrow down though eh? Hahaha just a thought, it might take some of the pressure off.

Here's a crazy idea. Walk away from your computer (or phone). Grab a piece of paper. Write down the ones you remember without looking. Start with those. They're the standouts

Sounds like a fun experiment! I'm in.

Worth noting that this sort of thing happens quite a bit in the Music 'Stack community already. Maybe it's different for other genres/lanes? I guess we're gonna find out!

That's really nice to hear, Kevin. In my little corner of the world, I don't see it as much. I'd sure like to

I have been hoping that post-election, things would stop being so polarized. I guess we are the only people who can make that happen.

Sounds good. Sounds doable. Anybody willing to sit outdoors in a Canadian winter gets my vote. Having lived through them till I was 49. Yes, I really am that amazing.

And you didn't bolt to Belize or Portugal or... well, anywhere sunny and warm when you had the chance?

Well, I could still bolt to somewhere warm, but old bones don't jump as fast!

Thanks. I haven't sent a newsletter in months. Time to get back to Sparks. And time for notes.

It's been a challenging 15 months for us, but we made it.

Hugs, Linda

I figure if I make the list in advance, won't be so much during the week. Good to have you join in, Linda

Hey Linda, great idea, similar to what I have been doing for two weeks, Average 23 promos on Notes per day mostly for random strangers, but always include a few friends who I trust. Nice responses so far inc three who are doing it with me. Maybe you and we can work on a "Coming Soon" project ?

Hi Linda, I have sent you a DM on what I think is an important topic, and am currently building a team to tackle the issues involved….

Peanut butter on toast—mmm. I don't seem to get traction in the Notes algo but I like the karma. We ought to do it offline too.

Linda Caroll's avatar

We sure could. I do pretty good at that offline, but online I could do more

I don't do it enough even knowing that when I do, it's a win-win. Good for them and selfishly, it makes me feel good.
