Hey Jenny McGregor, listening to your song, "Crossroads", terrific tune, has an Alanis Morissette feel! 5 Stars & Likes!! Would love to connect with you thru Broad Jam Buddies, have some tunes you might possibly enjoy"" Toodles, Stay Safe & Sport a Mask, just for Shit's & Giggles!! The Corey's............
So relaaaxing! I had to shake myself awake as it ended! Superb vocals and authentic nature intro from birds etc. Drift Away Hook was extremely effective! Nice one Jenny! Noticed the Title, "Drift Away" on perusing! Same as one of my songs. I was intrigued how someone else portrayed it! Completely different, but as emotionally perfect I think! Thanks, jim
Hey Randall Mark, thanks so much for your recent 5 star rating of my track Love Over Fear- I really appreciate it. Hope you are finding time to make new music and most of all enjoying the process. Kind regards Jen :)
Ur welcome Jenny. Love your sing there. I happen to have just put up two new songs if you want to check them out, Girl In Disguise and Frostbite Heart Stay safe!
Hi Randall Mark, I love them both- 5 stars from me!!! I love the simplicity of your tracks and yet they are so rich and so well written. They do not need all the fancy orchestration other tracks often need. They are so marketable (if that's even a word) too. Great job. Can't wait to hear more!
Thx Jenny for the encouraging and flattering words!
Hey John, thanks so much for your download and 5 star rating of my track Love Over Fear. It's an old tune of mine, but decided to upload for a licensing opportunity. Sorry I've never made it happen with the online super group- I've been going through some pretty heavy family stuff this end, and to be honest I have not been online or making any music for the past few months, as I navigate my way through it. Please know how honoured I am to have been asked and I am sorry it has been so difficult my end. Hoping you are all well. Kind regards Jen :)
Hi, Jen. Our supergroup always has time for you. Robert and I agree it's a slow moving thing but it will get going. The ftp site is still there and so are the pages. You can have the instructions to get on anytime. To have heavy things happening that cause emotional duress takes a lot of time to get through and you always have our caring and understanding. We're going through our set of individual problems, too. I think the group needs the time to realize there isn't the pressure, demands, or problems that groups often experience. We would like it to be a fun and available experience. When you're ready, drop on in. Also, drop by our pages, we have some new songs. I also have songs I'm redoing to make them that elusive definition of "broadcast quality." Love and caring from myself and the rest of us, John
hey kid, stick with us all who appreciate your music, but more importantly YOU...one say at a time, no matter what the problems are--sometimes one hour at a time... stay safe, you are needed... warren hein
Thank you John and thank you Warren- your support means so much at this time. I really appreciate it. Warren you are absolutely right, and that is the approach I have been taking- one step at a time. Looking forward to hearing some of your new music soon. Much care and gratitude back at you both, Jen :)
Dear Jenny McGregor, just heard your very creative composition, "Love Over Fear", really pushing the envelope with this tune! 5 Stars & Likes!! It's really neat to see other Broad Jam members compose really original material!! Great Job! WE would be honored to become Broad Jam Buddies with you & Connect! We have some pretty unique songs, that might interest you?? Toodles, Margie & Art Corey.....
Hi Margie & Art Corey, thanks so much for your amazing feedback and 5 stars of Love Over Fear- I appreciate it so much. Yes it is a bit "out there"- glad you appreciated it. Sorry for my lack of communication and support to your page. To be honest I have not really been online much at all. In fact it was a reminder email from Broadjam that got me back on and deciding to upload another track. Defo keen to continue as Broadjam buddies and I certainly will check out more of your stuff when the time comes up. Kind regards Jen :)
A Hearty, Well done Jenny with, "Missing You"! Beautiful song, Beautifully sung and so meaningful to listeners, but especially you! I read your words about the song and your tender love for your son! I cannot imagine the pain you have been through but my eyes glazed when listening to you sing it the way only you could. I loved the pre chorus melody.you sung with passion and the strings with superb piano added to the songs standing! The inspiration aside, it is a really lovely song! Only a fellow Scot could tug heart strings like you did! Thankyou for sharing a tender, personal and most beautiful song!
Jenny, "Don't Listen to your Mind", interesting Music, good job! 5 Stars & Likes!! Looks like it's doing well on the Broad Jam Charts and people are noticing!! Toodles, The Corey's...........
Hey Jenny, love your song, "Walking in Awareness", it has a real religious feel! But also has a David Byrne, Talking Heads sound to it!! A really creative ethereal theme for a song!! Great Job!! 5 Stars & Likes!! Just a quick recording thought, if you ever remix your tune, you might consider pulling back on the reverb a tad....just a suggestion?? Again, really Love this composition!!! Brilliant!! Toodles & Stay Safe........... The Corey's.....
Hi Again Margie & Art Corey, thanks once again for the great feedback and some constructive stuff in there too, which is always good. Yeah- I can tend to overdo the reverb a bit so, consider it noted. I am still learning and navigating my way through using Logic Pro- and whilst I love it, I have a very long way to go in terms of getting the sound right. I find that I often think my voice sounds better with more reverb, but I think that is with the reason of masking my vocals a tad, which I never believe are good enough. However, as you mentioned I tend to go a bit too much on the reverb and tend to agree with what you're saying. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback- always appreciated! Jen
Hey Jenny. don't feel alone. when I first started recording at home, I did the same exact thing, I over used the Reverb App!! It's what us Newbies do! The first time I used Reverb, I thought that God had actually showed up in my Music Studio and I was having a religious moment!! You know.....like one is almost hearing the Arch-Angel calling out from On High for the first time!! That's a bit of an over dramatization, but you get the picture!! I then kept getting text from Broad Jam members saying, DUDE, lay off the VERB!! You have an excellent Voice and don't need to mask it at all, just slightly employ it to soften the sound!! For the Record, I have never liked my voice, but every Now & Then it works on some compositions! Again, I am just trying to be helpful, that's all Folks! Toodles, Stay Safe... Art Corey's.........
Dear Jenny, Just listening to your composition, "Be Yourself", quite a beautiful piece of music!! Really enjoyed the interesting chord progression of tune and your voice!! 5 Stars & Likes!! You reviewed one of our songs in the past and appeared to enjoyed it. Would like you to hear more of some of our tunes.....maybe even connect as Broad Jam Buddies? Stay Safe....... The Corey's Margie & Art Corey.........
Hi Margie & Art Corey, thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it really means a lot. So many hours goes into making a track, and it's frustrating (as I am still learning) when you're not even sure if your track sounds that good. The only way to get feedback is to put it out there. So, thank you for being so kind and supportive of this track that I "put out there." I have just finished another track called "Heal Yourself" that is a similar (yet different) vibe. I am currently trying to get the mastering/mixing right but will aim to put it up on Broadjam as soon as I get that sounding a bit better. I will also hop on and have more of a listen to your music- I love your vibe! And yes- certainly to Broadjam Buddies- Cheers Jen :)
well, listening to your mind, spooky cool Jenny! kudos!
Hi, Jenny! Yours is the first that one of my songs got on someone's top list, and that is a huge compliment to me as I admire and love your songwriting! Some personal favorites of yours I'd like to point people to are "Butterfly," "The Sun," "Drift Away," and "The Sun." Also, thank you for the stars, too.
Hi John, thanks so much for your recent 5 star rating of my track, Drift Away- so much appreciated. Thanks also for adding some of my tracks to your playlists. Hope this finds you well and feeling musically creative. I look forward to hearing some more of your new stuff. Cheers, Jen :)
You're much welcome, Jenny. You definitely have the gift of melody that is so essential to writing great songs. Your expressive lyrics fit your melodies wonderfully. I have a couple of new songs so drop on by. Cheers! John
Hi John, thx so much for the review of Wonder Boy (KaytLynn). I must say, you have a way with words, that comes across not only in your song lyrics, but in your review of other people's songs!! I was actually very entertained reading your description of my song. You obviously "get" it, and you explain the meaning probably better than me, the songwriter even can! I think you would make a great short story writer or humor writer in addition to a songwriter. Take care.
Hey, Randall. That was fun putting the review together and I like to include thoughtful reasons. It's easy, too, with a delightfully great song as that! With that new one, "So Far Away," you're carrying the baton of terrific songwriting, the way they used to do it and the way it's really done!
Hi, Jenny. You're much welcome. I would encourage everyone who reads this to head on over to listen to your very tuneful and catchy songs. Cheers! John
Hey Jenny. Thank you for your kind words and review of my song Main Attraction. Really appreciate it. Sending love and good vibes kj
well now that you made me cry, i guess we should be "friends".... peace, warren
Hi Warren, very pleased to meet you and would love to connect with another like minded muso here on Broadjam. Sorry I made you cry- music can be so powerful can't it. I have not yet checked out your profile but will do. I am interested to hear about your musical passions and aspirations. Thanks for connecting, Jen :)
Pleasure is all mine--check out a frw tunes and all the best! W
Thanks Warren. Just had a wee listen and love your vibe. Love the cello, lyrics and overall feel of "Hopeful Train ride home"- beautiful song. Thanks- I look forward to listening to some more of your tunes. Jen :)
Hey Jenny, Just been listening to "Don't Listen to your Mind"....LOVE IT! What a super production and creation! I am taken straight back to the 90s with this one, like you said. Your vocals are superb in this....it has shades of Sarah McLachlan, but better! Brilliant work! Robert
Hey Jenny, Hope you are well? I saw your update and went across to check out the website and the new album release...it is sounding amazing-well done. But, of course, what struck me the most was watching the kickstart video of you explaining the story and emotions behind what you have been doing. It's very hard not to be entirely consumed by the emotion and grief that you and your husband have been through but incredible to come out of it with such a positive and powerful project that will be helping many other parents who have been through the hell that you have. What struck me most was how brave and courageous you are as a family...and of course, the sheer and utter love for your son. I'm off to give our newest one the biggest hug ever. R.
Awe, what a beautiful message to receive Robert, thank you. Thanks for taking the time to check out my website and info etc. I should probably update my info, as that album is not so 'current' anymore. Well it is and it isn't. I receive emails each week from bereaved parents thanking me for the album or asking how they can download for free, so it will always be ongoing. However, I am about to set up a music studio in our new home and plan to do much more producing and creating over the coming months. Something is waiting to be birthed... and it's not a baby- hahaha! That video was the clip for my Kickstarter campaign where I raised the money to make the album using a professional Music Producer, Mike Caen. He did an amazing job and was awesome to work with, however I would really like to learn how to do the production side of things by myself. I may possibly hire him to put on some epic guitar now and then. How is everything going your end, both musically and with your little army. Bubby number 4 must be getting bigger now. Probably at that super cute stage where you are getting smiles and beautiful hugs. Great to connect- sorry my reply took a while, I have not been on Broadjam for a while. Cheers Jen :)
Morning Jenny. Not a problem at all...I am not always on Broadjam, although I have been a lot of late as it has been quite a fruitful platform. Thanks for the extra info about the whole project. Regardless of when, it is still amazing and what a thing to give back...the easy thing to do would be to simply stay in a bubble where you can grieve privately but by opening up in the way you have done, you have surely given so many people the chance to connect and probably realise that they are not alone. I'm very excited to hear more about your plans for becoming a top producer! I will be booking out some virtual time in your virtual studio once you've got this all sussed out! It is without question a skill. When I first entered the music 'game', I foolishly believed that ANYONE can mix a song and make it sound great but how wrong was I?!! That's amazing that you are going for it.... I'm doing well. Not sure if you saw my wee article in SongUniverse? https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/ robert-quigley-212.htm I was absolutely astonished to get this so it has given me a real boost again, which as you know, is needed every now and then! The wee man is now 3 months old which is exactly where you described...smiling, babbling, laughing and loving the new found joys of Peppa Pig which I genuinely thought were done after the previous 3! Great to connect again...give my regards to Australia and I will pass on your best to the homeland! R.
Hi Again Robert, sorry for delayed response. We have been in our new home for a week now and it's finally starting to feel like a home. Has taken a while to get through all of our boxes but we are pretty much unpacked and settled. Kids have settled in nicely to their new schools and I am just waiting on a desk to arrive and then I will finally be able to set up a music room- hooray! I cannot wait to get stuck back into making some more music, it's been months and I am itching to get started. I tried to look up the link you sent to the article about you but it won't open for me for some reason? How awesome, you got an article written up about you too!!! I assume you got Songwriter of the Universe Award? That is just so amazing and I am super happy for you. Well deserved I say- you have a great sound all round. Great vocals, great guitar and music and great lyrics and catchy songs. Thanks for your comments about my dance track too btw. So awesome to get feedback like that on the stuff that I have produced completely on my own, with no help. I am still very much learning but I so enjoy it and making dance tracks has been fun. Glad you could hear the 90's influence- hahaha. I imagine the weather is starting to warm up on your end? As we have just moved further North, it still feels like mid summer this end, even though we are heading into winter. Just been for a swim down at my local beach and the water was beautiful. Wow 3 months old already- how time flies. Oh yes, I remember the Peppa Pig days- what fun! Hope it's all going well with the whole family. Chat soon, Jen :)
Heard your WOS podcast today Jenny, nice song Butterfly ! And you have such good vocals.
Hi Thierry Coupey, thank you so much for taking the time to write and for the lovely feedback. It is so warmly welcomed... it's easy as an Artist to sometimes lose faith in your journey and think you are not good enough. So, thank you for the boost in confidence and support. How is everything going creatively your end? Any new music to share? I look forward to hearing it- I love your style. Cheers Jen :)
Hi Thierry Coupey, thanks so much for the 5 star rating on my track Crossroads- I greatly appreciate your support and feedback. I'm loving the sound of your projects, which have a touch of destiny attached to them it would seem. Keep up the good work! Jen :)
So do your compositions... a touch of destiny, fate... but hope at the same time ;-)
Hey Jenny. I'm not sure how I missed "Crossroads" when I was checking out your music before! I love this....possibly my favourite of all of your tracks. I love the country meets pop/rock cross over and the lyrics resonate as always. This song deserves to be heard!
Hey thank you Original Quigley- you probably didn't see it because I hadn't added it yet. I've been drip feeding my songs- not all of them are on here. I usually add them when I see a music licensing opportunity I want to submit to. How's life at the top? You must have been buzzing to have won Broadjam 100, I know I would be!!! There's a slight element of Stereophonics to your music. I used to love them and go see them live in Scotland. Yet- you have your own original sound too (and obviously not as heavy)... you certainly have a talent! Hope all going well with bubby number 4- I remember that stage well... it's wonderful and tough all rolled into one. Hope you guys are getting some sleep. Happy New Year btw. Jen :)
Ah...that would explain why I hadn't seen it then! I thought I had been through your tracks and was needing to chill out while the wee man was asleep...so found "Crossroads" and it did the trick! Yeah, absolutely delighted! It's just a case of now hoping that someone will take a chance and license it. Have you had any songs licensed yet? I'm just itching for that first one... I love Stereophonics! Kelly's voice is so unique...my other big influences are The Fray and Travis. You'll be missing the snow that we are having just now over here?! If I recall, Dollar used to get a decent dumping, just like Kinross used to. Anyway, take care and keep on doing what you are doing....extremely well! R.
Ah YESSS... that for me is the most satisfying thing about making music (apart from the process)- when I hear it helped or inspired a listener- great stuff! I know The Fray and Travis well and now you mention it, I can see that as an influence in your music- awesome. I too like Kellly's voice. I really like your voice too- it's original yet easy to listen to- so it works with your name 'Original Quigley.' No I haven't had a song licensed yet... also would LOVE one! I am excited to have had 2 songs picked to be featured on The Woman of Substance Radio podcast this year- thanks to Broadjam. It's easy to lose hope with many rejections- but I think it's good to keep trying... there's someone out there who needs/wants your sound. You are certainly on the road to it after your recent success... just hang in there. As for the snow- oh yes I remember many a snowy time in Dollar- and Dollar was great for sledging with all those hills. Take care yourself and keep doing your excellent job my friend.
CONGRATULATIONS Original Quigley!!!! Such a lovely surprise to see your name pop up in my inbox this morn announcing you as the winner of the Broadjam 100... how amazing for you!!! I am very excited for you- what a wonderful Christmas gift... along with bubba number 4 of course! Well deserved I say. I was notified my song Wake Up had reached the top 25% but I am not sure where you can go to see where it ranked exactly? I just wanted to pass on my congrats to a worthy opponent and wish you a wonderful festive season. Cheers Jen :)
Aw...thank you J! What a lovely comment to leave. I was very, very surprised. I thought it might do well but not win! Like you say, I have no idea how you see the overall league of results so have no clue how well it was received. Very well done to you though! 25% was my hope as that indicates a very well received track-which will surely not be a surprise to you as your pieces are excellent. Yes, the wee man appears excited too....well, he didn't cry when I told him! Have an amazing Christmas on the other side of the world....but I'm sure your heart will be back in the auld country! Robert
Jenny, I give your song "Crossroads" 5 Star rating. I listened twice...had to. This song and performance is Top shelf. Best of luck with your career...see you at the...
Hi CW, thanks for yet another comprehensive, valuable and encouraging review of my track "Crossroads." I really appreciate your time to break down what worked and didn't. Wishing you a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year filled with much music inspiration. Cheers Jen :)
Same to you! I hope to be more active on here in 2021. Besides all the other 2020 "stuff", I had my sister and her two yappy dogs living with me for six months, and now pool construction has started. A lot of noise! 2021 is gonna be beautiful, I just know it. All the best. CW
Hi John, I just want to thank you for your great review of my track "Good Again." I really appreciate and value all/any feedback on my music. I have had a listen to some of your music and love your chilled vibe. Keep up the great work! Cheers Jen :)
I am drawn back to "Butterfly" again! It is just beautiful and the story behind it, makes it even more meaningful. I think this might be my favourite.
Thank you for your comments again re Butterfly, I really appreciate it so much. This track has been selected by The Woman of Substance radio show to be featured on their podcast in March, which I am really happy about. Thank you also for your 5 stars on Wake Up- I really appreciate it so much. :)
Thank you so much for the 5 stars on This Too Shall Pass! â"¤
Thank you so much for the 5 stars on I Wanna Go Back to You and I instrument. I appreciate that so much.
Thanks again, Jenny for checking out my tracks. I've spent a bit of time tonight listening to some of your more 'electronic' tracks....really like the vibe! Your voice seems to fit naturally into so many different genres. I didn't notice that you were originally from Scotland...which part?
Thank you for taking the time to listen to some more of my music- I really appreciate it and your awesome feedback. I've been really enjoying just playing around with the producing side of things and electronic was the first genre to emerge! I am keen to try out many different genres and would be interested to see how my voice fits in a variety of styles. I am also keen to try working with other talented voices too. My bestie (from Scotland) has a cracking voice that Id love to use on some of my tracks. Yes- originally from Scotland- family were from St Andrews and Aberdeen, but we lived in Dollar. Tiny village but being Scottish, I'm sure you've heard of it- given the famous 'Dollar Academy?!' I saw you are in Inverness- my Aunty lived there for a while and I really liked it up there- a beautiful spot. Never saw the Nessie though!! Good luck with your new bub... I can't imagine what it is like to have 4... but I know life must be full on for you all right now. Congratulations 🎉
Oh wow! Small world....I went to school in Kinross which must be about 11 miles away! I know that because I dated a girl from Dollar who went to the High School so used to drive that road regularly aged 17! Thank you...we had our wee one! A wee boy-Fyfe Quigley who is doing just great....you might not know what it's like to have 4 but I truly believe that any child that is brought into the world is an absolute game changer-so you absolutely know that and probably have more appreciation than most for how precious that is. I know what you mean about trying different genres. I have my default, 'go to' style which is pop/rock/indie but with piano being my main instrument, I'm always only 5 minutes away from creating a melancholic piano only track! Anyway....great to chat and nice to know that we have more than just musical connections! I look forward to hearing your next track entitled-"Castle Campbell"!!!!
It really is a small world... I learnt to drive and passed my driving test in Kinross- good times! It's a beautiful road between Kinross and Dollar- when it's not raining- haha. Last time I visited a couple of years back, I was blown away by the beauty on the bus ride I took my my Grandad's house in St Andrews, back to Dollar. It was so lush and green and the colours and shapes of the flowers had me in awe. It's amazing how much more you appreciate a place when you move away. As for children being a 'game-changer'- oh yes I agree totally. I had NO idea until my first, what I was getting myself into. I love watching some of Michael Macintyre's comedy sketches on "having children"- it's so funny how naive we are before kids. They bring so much joy and love too- so it balances itself out, right! Especially in those early years, as you are about to go through again- such unconditional love and adoration from bub and parents. As for your "default go-to style" I totally hear you and I think most musicians would agree they are the same. I think that's cool, cause we all have our style, but it's also great to push our limits and test the boundaries of what we are capable of. Sounds like you are close to doing just that?! Can't wait to hear your melancholic piano only track... I have been thinking of doing a similar track on piano, as I have so many unheard compositions that I've never recorded. Good luck with it!
Very humbled and delighted to have now reached Number 1 in the UK as well as in Scotland and the overall Pop-Rock chart. And ironically, as UK prepares to leave for Brexit, I'm now Number 2 in Europe!
Well done Original Quigley- a fantastic result that is well deserved. I've had a listen to some of your songs and I really enjoyed "The Only Thing" among others. Best of luck with it all and keep up the great work. Jenny :)
Aw....thank you, Jenny! What a lovely comment....! Have a brilliant Christmas!
Hi Jenny--thanks for the 5-stars for "Moonlit Glow". I listened to your "Crossroads". You have a great sound and this is a very uplifting song. So sorry for the loss of your son. This song is a beautiful tribute to him.
Hi Jeana, it was my pleasure- I really enjoyed listening to your music- you are very talented! Thank you for listening to my song Crossroads and for the 5 stars- I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work, Jen :)
Thanks, Jenny for your comments on Electronic Journey. Marilyn Hall
