Hey, to solve the hosting limate problem, why don't you just upload it to the Jam Session sever? I'm sure there's plenty of space...just a thought.

BTW I love the podcasts!

Fantastic sounds, great loved it will be back for more.

Keep em coming

[Prez]

Hey thanks! I'll be getting another one up fairly soon, I hope!

Hello my friends! It's been a while. I thought I'd drop in and shed a bit of light on the recent drought of my 'prezcasts'.

I won't go into specifics, but around the time that Cyber Cobra reworked the site for the new server around the end of last year my life basically fell apart. 'In a perfect storm of events, my job, my marriage, my family, and my mental health all fell to pieces at the same time. While I respect those who talk about personal problems in Open Mic, being a private person I am not one to discuss issues with my personal life openly, so instead I basically fell out of sight.

I have always looked at Jam Session differently than other web forums that I belong to. To be perfectly honest, I haven't really stopped frequenting other sites of which I am a member through all of this. So why not Jam Session? Because while I am a hobbyist about many things (I belong to a firearms forum, a PC Game forum, a computer tech forum, and a political forum), music is much more serious passion for me. I began the 'prezcasts' because of that passion. I was "feeling the music", a deep connection far stronger than just the simple interests in the other hobbies I enjoy like shooting, playing games, building PC's, and talking politics. In other words, I was "loving the music". Without the "love", I simply cannot dedicate enough of myself to doing the music in 'prezcasts' justice. When my life took the horrible turn it did, I lost the intense passion I felt in making and sharing music that inspired me to participate in the showcase and create the 'prezcast' in the first place.

While I don't get paid for it, I still feel obliged to apologize to the Jam Session members, who are of a higher caliber than anywhere else on the net, for letting the 'prezcasts' lapse. I feel like I have let down not only the people who listen to the 'prezcasts', but also the people who bare their musical souls and share their music, indeed share a part of themselves, for all of us to enjoy. I have been remiss in not helping you get your music out to as many people as possible, and for that I apologize. To all who have supported me in my venture and listened and enjoyed the 'prezcast' and took time out to say so in the past, I apologize. To Cyber Cobra and the mods, who gave me my own forum section and tried to expand their support even further to giving me my own blog, I apologize. I am certainly grateful for all that you guys did.

I am working very hard to get my life back together and regain the passion that drove to me to become a member of this very special place and to begin the 'prezcast'. It is a long process, but you will know when I have been successful when I put out another 'prezcast' for all to (hopefully) enjoy.

Regards,
Prez

Nice to hear from you bro'!

I think we all have suffered our share somewhere through this business of life.

I certainly wish you well, and we'll all be here anticipating the next "'Cast", trust me. It's a part of JS I always enjoy (I know many of us do!), so handle your business and get back here Prez! Lookin' forward to your return!

Drop a PM if there's anything you need, bro'. All the best!

Jeez, Prez, certainly no one is gonna fault you for falling off the radar for a bit with all of THAT stuff going down in your personal life. The Prezcast is a really lovely addition to the Jam Session, but getting your own life in order obviously needs to come first.

You're in my prayers, bud. Keep fighting the good fight.

[Prez]

Thanks Bob and Peeb. I consider you guys good friends of mine, and am always glad to hear from you!

[deathmedic]
