After a couple of comments in the chat that I was late to see as I don't have notifications enabled for any app on any device anymore, it reminded me that this channel existed and that it has been dormant for a while. I'm really focusing any time I have to share things on YouTube and Substack. If you're looking for something like this group to continue to be a part of, where there is regular daily activity and that …

Music — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 21 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 53% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 15 July 2022 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 27 May 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

I messed up and put this on my main channel when it was meant for the podcast channel. 🤦🏻♂️ Here’s the correct version. 👍 https://youtu.be/g3SJL95RB1w

For anyone not hip to my recent move to Substack to re-boot my blog, come by and check it out, it's free to read!: https://janekgwizdala.substack.com/ I posted something deep from the archives today from my first days as a band leader in the late 90's before leaving the UK for the US. The podcast is also hosted via substack now, so if you are on your commute today, or have a small child napping on you like I do rig…
This is not a joke! I am absoltuely trying to reach at least 100k subs on YouTube by April, and go as far beyond that as I can for the rest of the year. I've come to realize that YT might be the last place on the internet where it's possible to grow an audience by creating art without selling your soul. Aside from a few choice thumbnails like this one... 🤦🏻♂️ What I post is always going to be something I'm passio…

Just in case anyone in the Telegram channel isn't on my mailing list, and missed the annoncement that I started a substack, here it is! https://janekgwizdala.substack.com/ Having recently deleted my Facebook and Twitter acounts, I think the Telegram channel will probably be next. I'm doing my best to focus everything into one space to create a healthier conversation, and trying to get away from social media style p…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @janekgwizdala. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 16 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
