What do you think of Drooble?

Haven’t seen too many results of it yet… And as a poor musician… I still haven’t been able to try some of the paid areas… But I believe very worth what you have put into it as creators… And a very nice platform for expression.

Not enough venues and not enough days in a lifetime to express ourselves and what could be available to us.

Getting to personally know the musicians who are playing currently in the various venues that are around us locally… Albeit, those are very few these days.

Quality playing/singing, constant honing their craft through practice and constant application.
