Simply put-

If you came to this from the Gardes' site, welcome.  Check out:
www.facebook.com/thegardes 

This, for the foreseeable future, will be the home of up-to-date
Gardes' news.  Some of the website is, we'll just say, archival...

I suppose if everything was proper, it would be advertised on the site,
but I've always toyed with most of the website stuff myself, for fun,
for purpose, and for some stalled out hours that felt like excruciating
time wasted and pulled-out-hair-headaches.  All for sharing music, etc.
with the world.

Now, though, I don't have much time to hang around a computer, and if
I do, I'm choosing not to all that much for a while.  We've always been
such a D.I.Y., rickety operation anyway, and never really had anyone else
(a trained professional) maintain our onlineness.  It just felt like dabbling
with another artform and media to me.  I'll be focusing on creating or
bringing what is made into fruition from now on and may be little involved
with any kind of regular online updates or maintenance.  Though I will holler
out still and check e-mail, etc. and all of that kind of stuff and I may get back into
it, I'm going to trim some of the fat off my time.

Here's an article I like:  http://musicians.about.com/od/beingamusician/ss/musicmistakes_2.htm

Well, that wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it's the gist.  
Promotion is a racket, self-promotion is a bit embarrassing. 
Sometimes it feels alright on a good day, though...

Well, I went and looked for it again, but came up with nothing, so I'm going to
hop off here.
