One tune, 10 tunes, even 20 tunes, says nothing about the extent and diversity of an artist’s creativity, and that is why I am understandably dismissed; it’s the VOLUME of my work that SPEAKS VOLUMES, not one, 10, 20 tunes!

No one will conclude my creativity is anything exceptional based on hearing one or two tunes, there are many musicians who have created a handful of great tunes, that on a one to one basis, may even sound superior to mine; I can think of thousands of tunes that I am envious of, in a healthy way, wishing I could come up with something like that, so I'm not deluded as to think anything of mine is better than anything out, that would be ridiculous, but I do think its my whole catalogue of creations that speaks volumes, the endless diversity, the off-the-wall, no rules, no boundaries, invention, and my lyrics, that all suggest I'm dismissed, underrated, overlooked, too easily.
Unfortunately, it's the way it is, who has time or the inclination to explore a whole library of music by an unsigned, unknown, musician!

ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE ARTISTS ON SOUNDCLOUD, but no one will ever know!

Saddens me a great deal that two members of the band, the guitarist, Steve Lomax, and Mark Harrington both died when very young. This along with other tracks were played live and recorded in the front room circa 1980. 
If we had been a Manchester band instead of from a town with zero reputation for bands, namely Crewe, I think we would have developed a following. I will be rerecording the vocals to this instrumental shortly.

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME, STEVE!

NOT THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS
BUT THE SUM OF ALL MY FEARS
REDUCES ME TO TEARS

WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

I MAY SEEM KIND OF WIERD
THAT’S WHY YOU DISAPPEARED
THAT’S WHY I’M ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD

AS A CHILD I LOST MY WAY
IT’S STILL WITH ME TO THIS DAY
I GUESS IT MUST BE TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
THAT SOME OF US ARE MEANT TO PAY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE

PLAYING BACK THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS
NO ESCAPING, NEVER FREE
ON MY MIND AND ON REWIND 
EVERY SCENE, INDIGNITY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ISN’T SMUGNESS
WHAT YOU SEE, IN FACT, IS SHAME
ORCHESTRATE MY OWN DURESS
ULTIMATELY, I’M TO BLAME

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES:

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
AND THEN I FREEZE

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

My Name Is Steve, I Haven't Had A Friend In 40 Years (WELCOME TO NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS)

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
Anyone can click a like button; it doesn't prove you actually listened! Anyone that doesn't show proof they are actually listening will be removed from playlists! If the only support you give is to cynically click like buttons, you are contributing to the eventual demise of #Soundcloud and other music sites; without these sites to post your music on you are basically screwed; there won't be much point to making tunes if you don't have any kind of audience!

If you don't give REAL support, the support you get will eventually come to an end; we all eventually get tired of giving and getting nothing back. In the end, not only does it ruin the chances of everyone else, it will destroy your own. It is also a big mistake to underestimate the talent of others and overestimate your own! Don't assume their music can't be as good as yours; burying your head in the sand might protect your ego, but it doesn't do much for your reputation!

If you can't show respect, you don't deserve respect, so don't just click the like button, listen, and leave feedback to prove you listened. If you don't get into the habit of doing this, #Soundcloud won't be around much longer!

CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

Seems #Soundcloud are now under new management, and will be staying in business, but for how long is dependent on how much activity we, the musicians, create and sustain!
