Zalmi,
"sharing" is truly a beautiful concept, which implies an "offer" as well. I wish that this concept was more widespread!

So, a question arises to my mind: do we post music because we are willing to offer or to receive? (advice, praise, self-promotion...)

My mother used to say an ounce of praise is worth a ton of criticism.I hope all those who post there music here will continue to so.I for one learn from everything I hear be it good bad or indiferent.There is always a phrase or mabe a lick that I haven't heard before in even the most modest performance.I love to hear people at least try to play create or perform in any kind of musical field.It keeps our art alive.Terry

As a nine year old and a boy soprano I was rejected by a teacher from a school choir in a blunt offhand way with no explanation.
It was five years before I got over being emotionally hurt.
I realise now that the voice stood out over the other children and I was a little over enthusiastic.
An explanation by the teacher would have stopped all the hurt.
Eleven years ago at sixty I decided to perform as I though fit and if I made a fool of myself I only had a few years left to live it down.
I have been having a wow of a time since.
