He's obsessed with you. You could plonk him but he has a fan club here.
Treat him like wereo and filter out the responses too.
Little trick I learned with my 16 track is put some "blue tape" on it and
label the tracks.
Look forward to hearing your new stuff!

I think Ed just got a detention.

Fuck him, Ed. He's just some guy that posts to a newsgroup, like you
and me.
That's the appropriate attitude, I think.
The whole concept of being an artist DEMANDS that
kind of approach to others. No matter who you are,
somebody hates your act. You can't just say goodbye
because of that one individual.
I don't think the artist formerly known as Ed has
come to that realization. I think he wants to hide
behind "but we're just in this for fun". He wants
us all to help him achieve that fun (vote for
his silly contest thingie) but he's not mature
enough as an artist to accept that some people
will tell him they don't like his act.
You can lead a horse to pulling the wool over his eyes,
but when the going gets tough, get out of the kitchen.
I know - I'm not giving in for him, I just don't need it. I'm off
doing better things- like actually playing, as apposed to b.s. ing..
Thanks for all that supported me. I'l be back in a while with some new
tunes.. ed s.
Again?
This is like those aluminum siding companies in
the South that have an annual going out of
business sale.
With all that stuff that you claim has made you
such a man, seems you're a little weak in the
"big, bad, faceless man is picking on me" department.
If you had balls, you'd either stay and fight like
a real man, or take your whimpering ass out of
here, like you keep saying you'll do.

Why did you lead your horse into the kitchen in first place?
Rich has nailed it.
I play guitar for fun. Sometimes it's working on a tasty fingerstyle
lick or a new song. Sometimes it's chasing tone with a pedal or an amp.
Sometimes it's banging out old Stones riffs until the windows rattle
and my teenage kids yell at me to turn it down.
I want to play the best I can but I'm not going to sacrifice my family
for it.
I'm not going to treat my guitar playing as if it's the most important
thing in life, no matter what stick-up-the-ass classical instructors or
miscellaneous grumpy veterans think.
This is usenet. I've been on it from the Fidonet gateway days and have
seen all kinds of self-appointed whackjob 'experts' come and go.
I frankly don't care if someone here disapproves. Whoever doesn't like
it can go fuck themselves.
Now go play your guitar.
Sean:
> Why did you lead your horse into the kitchen in first place?
To get to the other glass house.
Yes he has. I've said that here for years.
It's usenet. Either relish the idea that
there are differing opinions, or do something
that doesn't require you to be exposed to
other opinions. A person with a different opinion
than yours is ONE person. No matter who he is,
his vote counts just as much as yours, no more, no less.
> I want to play the best I can but I'm not
> going to sacrifice my family for it.
I'm not sure where "sacrifice my family"
comes in. Who's suggesting that anyone sacrifice
family?
Only thing I suggest you don't sacrifice
is your personal beliefs, ethics, principles.
That's what got me started on Ed in the
first place. It had nothing at all to do with music.
I questioned his personal beliefs, ethics and
principles with that popularity contest that he
continually groveled to us about voting for. And why
did I do that? I continually explained why. Because I've seen
a gazillion bands/musicians lose the fun/energy/creativity
because of that popularity contest. I've known hundreds of my
contemporaries that have become substance abusers, get divorced,
commit suicide, or in the mildest case, break up as bands
or quit being musicians alltogether.
Ed claims, as they all did, that it "won't happen to me".
Yet here he is, getting all fucked up by a simple verbal
difference of opinion on usenet. Tell me he's not home
cussing at me to his wife, band, dog, co-workers.
"What's wrong Ed?"
""Oh that fucking Lumpy and his bullshit has me so pissed off""
> I frankly don't care if someone here disapproves.
> Whoever doesn't like it can go fuck themselves.
1 - Don't make the mistake of confusing "disapprove"
with "differs in opinion". Music (art) is about
opinions. Elected officials are about "approval".
If you're seeking _approval_ as a musician, you're
fighting a losing battle.
2 - "Can go fuck themselves" indicates that
you do indeed care. You've met differing opinion,
"disapproval" in your term, with your own negative
energy.
You're a musician. Brand newbie, ancient has been,
or somewhere inbetween. No matter what level, the majority
of humans in the universe will NOT like your act. A much
smaller minority will like it. That's the most basic concept
of ANY art.
Telling that huge majority to go fuck
themselves, or in Ed's case, getting all pissy and
trying to make a dramatic exit-entrance-exit over
and over again is NOT understanding that basic
concept. It's giving up to the "non-likers".
Don't give up to the "non-likers".
Instead, GIVE to the likers.
"I didn't like your show"
""Thanks for coming anyway""
"I liked your show"
""Thanks. Please come to our next show""
Don't try and convince the VFW veterans that they
really were baby killers. Instead, play your protest set
at a different venue. Or don't do protest songs
when your gig is at the VFW. Unless you enjoy
the conflict, as some surely do. The "shock jock" method.

Whenever any of our cats puke, my wife
puts a paper towel or tissue on the spot to mark
it. This (I presume) acts as a reminder to clean
it up after it dries a little (easier to clean).
It also saves me from finding it with my foot
(assuming the lights are on).
Now with a horse "mess", i don't think a tissue
would do it -- nor would it wait.
Of course, things might be different in Arizona..
Snark.
I'd rather step in horseshit than cat puke any day!
Yuck... but me too.
>That's why people, that have a sense of humility, find people like Lumpy so
>odious.
I disagree. I think the reason why Lumpy rubs people the wrong way is
a) they do not like his sense of humor, b) are thin skinned, or c)
disagree with him, but don't know better than to get into a pissing
contest with someone on usenet.
Ed has made negative remarks recently about playing solo and
restaurant gigs "why would anyone want to do that?". I happen to gig
solo in restaurants 4-6 x per month.
I didn't take it personal, just his opinion. The music Ed is focused
on is so lame and over done to me that I have little or no interested
in hearing those songs ever again.
However, I am happy for him to be doing something he and his pals
enjoy. I am also envious that he and his wife get to play music
together. I think that is totally cool.
His and your reactions to Lumpy just seem childish to me. Ignore him
if you don't like it. I find Lumpy to be right (at least imo) most of
the time.
It is a big world, and everyone has an opinion. As far as Lumpy
running off PT, I am calling bs. Pat is a nice guy, but played out
his band drama here ad nauseum.
I wish him nothing but luck, and only hope that his absence here means
his current marriage has him engaged in more meaningful activities
than posting here.

> Yuck... but me too.
Horse poop isn't changed much from when it
goes in the intake side of a horse. They're
big, 24 hr vegetarians. Grass goes in, 24 hrs
later it comes out. They don't generate the
stinky byproducts that carnivores or slow
vegetarians (cows) do. Horses generate lactic
acid from muscle use, most of that gets eliminated
as CO2 and exhaled. Their pee is pretty stinky,
but their poop looks like grass mixed with
green clay. Dogs love to eat it.
Whenever I go to visit my friend who has a horse, the first thing I
notice when I get out of the car is the fragrance of horse. It's quite a
pleasant smell.
IYO
I never said I didn't like Lumpy. Hell....he's my fav turd.

There's a show on TV called "Survivor Man". The
last episode I caught, showed him running through
the swamps and caves of Alabama.
In between all that, he found some deer dung--
he said it gets digested so fast that there's
lots left in it, including vitamins.
So he stuck some in his mouth and ate it. <puke>
He doesn't recommend the taste though.
Maybe there's something left in for ya in that
horse "output".. but don't pass the plate
to me! I'll pass on all of that.
Snark.
What derek said. There's usually some good to take away from most
discussions. There's also a lot of bad but just leave that alone
unless you feel like having a pissing match. I normally don't but
it's a choice.

In hind sight...the statement was too general. I usually try to avoid
general statements. Sort of like stepping in horse shit.
OTOH: Nothing wrong with pissing matches. Keeps things lively. Only the

Ever pause to consider the possibility that when most of the world

world?
Didn't think so.
Now amuse me by pretending you know who I am, then start blubbering
like a 4 year old coward when I point out the fact that you're just
talking out your ass as usual.
Or... maybe just embarrass yourself by claiming it takes millions
to make a commercially successful CD.

No asshole, it does not. You've convinced yourself of that because
it's a convienent way for you to rationalize why you ARE an
insufferable asshole... a way for you to convince yourself that the
misery you feel over being a third rate hack who can only "teach"
isn't so bad after all, much like your "costs millions" drivel
allows you to rationalize why you've never actually made it in
the music industry... but normal, well adjusted adults know it's
certainly NOT necessary to be a fuckwit 24/7 like you are to be a
success.
The real problem here Frumpy, is that you really don't know what
success feels like. You desperately NEED to feel that you're
something special, that's why you try to run roughshod over AGB,
but deep down you're just pissed at the world over you lacking the
ability and aptitude to attain a goal you'll never even see.

The thing is, YOU are an asshole too. A worse kind, because you're a

Spewing coffee,spewing cats.....do you pass out disposable overalls to

Oh.......Did you check your cats for assholes?,maybe that's why they
spew...:)

Nice job on Fever getting that "finger snapping" in as percussion on
the guitar. I think it was Howard Roberts on the orig recording of
that tune. They wanted him to add a guitar part. He didn't hear one,
so he snapped his fingers on the recording and the rest is history.
Is that a Benedetto, Eastman, something else that you're playing?
