An Expression of Gratitude
The Puzzler
unflagging diligence and dedication to their art. Whilst it is true
that they and others like them are not famous they are the sine qua non
that makes the merry-go-round. Please join me in giving them a standing
ovation. Ah, the memories, the memories.

Try these peopel then.
Here they are. They are what is known in the trade as the wankers who
accompany the squawkers. And probably snobs, every boy and girl of
them, to the last.
Here is a list.
If it helps (which I feel I may need to do) I believe it is called the
Metropolitan Opera Orchestra whose sound (where they manage it) you no
doubt spectacularly and faithfully reproduce in each and every one of
your recordings. Or not, as the case may be.
Kind regards,
Undoubtedly a Wanker But Certainly Not Up To Your Standard At It Except
Perhaps At Sight Reading
PS: Now do you see how many you would have to pay? Wouldn't be
economic would it?

Personally, to use a modern phrase, I just think you a complete and
total cunt.
The sort of guy who piles out of the American Express coach at the
Tower of London and says: "Oh, my God is this the Tower of London?"
(answer: Nope, it's a plastic replica) or those who spend hours in
Dublin lining up to see the Book of Kells and when they arrive at it
say: "Oh, my God is this the Book of Kells?"
Nope, it's yet another plastic replica.
Among your opera roles have you ever attempted the Simpleton? I think
it was almost written for you. You can tranpose at sight if it helps.

I used to perform on the Strumpet. A virtuoso! ( thass' wha she said )
But then she asked for money.
In those days one didn't blithely abandon one's amateur standing.
I formed a PAC, my friends sent in, in their names.

With all respect and affection to you, I really think you could have made
the point without the comments about the poster's family, or personalizing
it that way. I think it only made things worse - you have a perfectly valid
point about what you do, and the different views will never get solved here,
but when it gets overly personalized, something different happens.
Just a thought

Usually you are quite content for the discussion to be all about you. But
when the topic is thievery you always drag Tower Records in to it. What's up
with that? This is all about you, not Tower et al.

As someone who does do his own broadcasts, I'd like to offer a
dissenting opinion. When you offer your work to the public (and
perhaps even make a point of inviting people to sample it), you're
agreeing to subject yourself to the public's opinions. Much the same
way Osie Hawkins, James McCracken, or the panelists on the Met Quiz
subject(ed) themselves to the public's opinions. Some may be critical
because they are nasty, some may be jealous, and some may be critical
(even harshly so) because of flaws in the person's work. But in any
event, I don't think you need to actually do broadcasts or sing on the
stage of the Met in order to offer strong criticisms of those who do.
A dear friend of mine once said: "This business is not for the faint of
heart."
Best,
Ken
REG
sacrosanct, and the mere fact of someone giving a 'response' isn't
particularly impressive to me, particularly when that response is both
Pavlovian and uninformed.
The point for me is that not every comment is 'criticism', much less strong
criticism - there may be no way to control it, but there's certainly no
reason to necessarily respect stalking or uninformed opinion.
