cclarry 31,830 Posted December 31, 2021 As the dismal 2021 Sales Season comes to an end, with it's plethora of lackluster sales, let's take the time to reflect on all of the GOOD THINGS that came from this year, and on our Family and Friends! I would also like to personally thank each and every one of you for making me feel appreciated for the effort that I put forth into keeping everyone informed about deals and trends, and for affording me the opportunity to get things that I would have NO WAY of getting otherwise! Your kindness and generosity shine through in all that you do! SO A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE CAKEWALK FAMILY!!! Let's make 2022 a YEAR FULL OF WONDERFUL MUSIC! A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! 38 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavlovsCat 3,569 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Same to you Larry. You are very appreciated here. With all that's going on --with the pandemic-- it's an excellent reminder to be kind to one another and value all we have. While I've had several friends who've gotten the virus so far -- two with very serious cases, one who got it twice-- I'm thankful that everyone, so far, every friend and relatives I'm close to has pulled through. Some of my friends loved ones and friends of theirs haven't been so lucky. One friend's brother in his 40s who I last saw a few years ago and over 20 loved ones and friends of friends. One of my friends, who is also a musician (but is a Cubase user and not part of this community), lost 4 friends so far. I admit, while I played drums semi professionally many years ago, music now just a hobby,, but it is my refuge from the stress, and so is coming here. It's a little escape with like minded music geeks who make inside jokes absolutely no one else would appreciate! Keep on rocking, Larry, and be safe.

Frank 1,003 Posted December 31, 2021 Thanks Larry for your kind words. This forum is also my safe base for my work. All the best for you and your family for 2022. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PavlovsCat 3,569 Posted December 31, 2021 BTW, I see the deals forum as a bar with a bunch of regulars (FTR, I haven't even been to a bar in maybe 5 years; I'm a dad and not much of a drinker as a dad, I've probably had 6 beers in two years; the guys I grew up with would find that sad!). Kind of like Cheers -- for those old enough to get the reference. Larry is like our Sam. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yan Filiatrault 1,616 Posted December 31, 2021 Where I live, the governement has once again started a curfew beginning today and also a lot of other limitations, with records of COVID infections day after day. So while the beginning of 2022 doesn't look good, it's great to discuss with you guys here. And a special thank you to Larry for all the hard work he's putting for the deals. Thanks to him, this forum is now the first place I always check for the latest deals. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reid Rosefelt 3,571 Posted December 31, 2021 Thank you Larry for everything you do. The world is in a rough spot now, but I feel that I am very lucky in many ways. I do appreciate every one of you in this community. Lots of great music and deals in the New Year! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Maffris 118 Posted December 31, 2021 Despite all the hardships, financial, health, etc, that so many have suffered, there is always something to be appreciated and enjoyed, and this group and community are on the short list of things I have thankful for. Plus, I'm doing a flurry of purchases at year's end (Spitfire, NI) to add to a needed tax deduction list, as I made a bit more money than expected earlier in the year (good for me), and then the newer Variant comes along and just rains on our parade. Still playing tonight, still writing and making music and videos, but looking forward to 2022 as well. Talk to y'all next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not nice. 😉 Happy New Years to all, and I really mean that. I do hope 2022 will be a better year for us all. I didn't think it could get any worse than 2020 and then 2021 comes along. I pray it is not a trend. And thanks to Larry and all who not only bring us the best deals, but the best entertainment as well. This is truly a sanctuary in a crazy world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevin H 2,293 Posted December 31, 2021 Happy New Year all. As for resolutions, in 2022 I hope to expand my songs and use a fourth chord. Maybe even a black key if I’m bold and had a couple drinks haha. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracingArcs 661 Posted December 31, 2021 I echo everything said here. A stressful year. My job ceased to exist due to the pandemic. And had the humiliation of employers not even responding to job applications. So said bollocks to it all and retired. And enjoying being creative again (this time on my own terms and not getting screwed over by wonky management). And in particular, dipping into the deals forum throughout the day. And feeling very up when you find a deal and posting it,and Larry has not !. All the best to you all in '22 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the best to you all in '22 Yes, the joy of making a post with a great deal when you looked all through page one of the forum and don't see anyone posted yet. It's like a race to get it up before Larry!!! ...And minutes later, the disappointment after someone posts a screenshot that Larry posted that deal earlier in the week.
