Something about this group disturbs me. It disturbs me a great deal. We all know what it is. But we sweep it under the rug.
I'm talking about sexism. Sexism in this very group. Where are the women??? I mean, is it acceptable to have only one woman (thomas) in the discussion? What about inclusivity? What about equality? What about the Other? Are we so frightened of the Other that we need to wage war against her? What's happened to us?

This is a group about guitar playing.... Not about cooking and cleaning!!!

Okay - that was uncalled for.... Just a joke, just a joke.. If you haven't
gotten it, I'm VERY sarcastic...
If you want girls, head over to the American Idol NG.... There's more than
you can handle in there. Yes, I frequent both :)

middle of a rainforest. Check out a different newsgroup. Be proactive -
don't wait for the chicks to come to you! I can appreciate your
persistence but you gave Lady Anna ample time to get here. Time to move on.
Try an artsy-crafty newsgroup like pottery or jelly-making or
bondage-abuse or whatever the hell it is that females like. Be wary, the
females you might find on Usenet are kind of nutty and on the mature
side which means that you should be able to find the girl U want.

The problems with elephants is that they can blind you ... if you know the parable you'll understand that they are hard to describe!

Tough one. Few girls play guitar. Those that do are always vastly outnumbered by guys, so they probably have busier than average social lives. Also, girls usually don't care much about rest strokes, so that would eliminate half of the reason to be here.

Me, my lamentations go to the fact that the only elephant I've seen was as the zoo ... it's so sad ... all the other elephant I've seen where in these discovery channel documentaries on elephants in Africa, India, China ... I love these documentaries but, unfortunately, they can never replace a true, real, gigantic, ear flapping freaking elephant drinking and showering with his ... (Blank! I have an English blank!!! I know the word in French ... heu une trompe d'éléphant ... but in English??? Blank!

Good question, but perhaps this will help: I was listening to some Parkening the other day. I do think he has just about my favorite sound quality of any guitarist.

I have his A Tribute to Segovia CD, and I could listen to his Torre

I have his A Tribute to Segovia CD, and I could listen to his Torre
Bermeja all day long. He has a very nice touch and sugary sound.

Speaking of the ladies, I've fallen in love with the fine lady pictured in this article:

Just look at her. Not a stitch or hair out of place. And that smile! I love her.

Here is the original press release from last July:

>I heard he quit playing guitar.
In July, 2012 in Charleston, South Carolina, the renowned
American classical guitarist Christopher Parkening was
inducted into the Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) "Hall
of Fame" and given their "Artistic Achievement Award." This
prestigious award is given to "performers who have made
monumental contributions to the development of the art and
life of the classical guitar."
Mr Parkening also used this occasion to make this notable
announcement: "As I am gathered with you to celebrate the
classical guitar, I have chosen this time and place to share
with you what for me is a rather difficult announcement.
After nearly five decades as a concert guitarist, the time
has come for me to step away from the concert stage.
"Some of you know that for these past few years I have had
some physical issues resulting in numerous back surgeries.
At this point in my life, I would like to focus more on my
family and on my commitment to teaching my students at
Pepperdine University and in master classes throughout the
country, sharing my insights and experiences-both musical
and personal-as I mentor young artists.
"I am grateful to all of those who have had important roles
in my life and career. Through the years I have tried to
play my guitar for the purpose as defined by J. S. Bach who
said, 'Soli Deo Gloria,' 'To God alone the glory.'"

times at his funeral. That's goofy but it's a lot easier on the ears
than bagpipes. The great thing about Hawaii is that there's a severe
shortage of bagpipes on this rock. Yay!

Lots of video, that's for sure ... but all over the place, playing 50 + concerts a year? (That's about four concert a month ...)Were would someone find the time to replenish the tank and learn new material and slowly integrate it to the old one? This is the life of a pro I don't know much about ...

Then came the Bach album and the Impressionist album. With these I had the sense that he'd lost the thread of the first three. It sounded like he (or some producer) had figured out the selling points of the Parkening sound and packaged it for maximum commercial impact. Those two recordings seemed more about the wow factor and less about the "quiet simplicity that speaks directly to the heart." (Segovia.)
But that's the way it goes.

talented guitarists these days on computers and mobile devices. They've
always existed but we've never had a chance to see them.

Women are not elephants, or
