I look at all the profiles in the Kansas City metro area about once a month. Even if the band I'm in is full (hopefully we found our guitarist) I respond to all people who may be able to sit in with us if one of the band members can't make a gig. It's just a good idea to communicate with potential band members. Unfortuneately a lot of the people I send messages to don't respond. If they're not interested a response saying so would be appreciated. ANyway good luck in your musical endeavors. Later...

I am a serious musician here. Yes, I read the profiles and I email anyone who seems interesting regardless of the style of music they play. I am a composer/arranger/teacher and performer. It takes time to get around the BS, but that what makes music a job. It is the best job but it is still a job. Well, back to work.

Aint it true seems all jobs have their share of bullshit.
I want to find someone to pay me $100,000 / yr to hunt squirrels.
But man those little jokers are hard to skin. :D

Hi All,
Yes, I look at the listings regularly. I am curious though, I have contacted folks and not received any reply. Do you have to be a paying member to receive messages?

Thanks

Anyone can receive a message - paying or not.

He's correct, it's just that a ton of people set up a profile and then never bother to check the forums.

And only a paying member can initiate a message.
If one sends you a message, you can reply.
But if you aren't a paying member, you can't just send to whomever you like.

If people checked the forum and the ads 1x/week, you'd actually get responses instead of sitting around waiting for something that may or may not happen.

There is enough deadwood here to build a bridge to the moon.
But dont be disheartened. Good things also come to those whom do their homework, and have a little luck. :wink:

Thanks, all. Dont' you get an email if someone sends you a message? Guess some folks just don't have the courtesy to respond, even if they are not interested.

Most people dont respond. Do not tarry on the moment.
I have been dealing with that fact here for years.
Just dont let it get to you.
You got to go on some faith that the right people will eventually be found.
But you also must be agressive in your search using all tools available.
Negativity (woa is me no one will respond) is counter productive.
Though we all have our "down" moments.
Keep the positive attitude. Good energy begats good energy. :wink:

Thanks, Sans. You are absolutely correct. Will do.
