Not at all - I don't begrudge ANYONE that makes people happy with music - no matter if it's for FREE or FEE ! The money is not always the issue, and only a small part of what determines a true "pro".



IF you've been reading my posts, you'll see that I offer my experience freely and without hesitation. I never hold back a "trade secret" or ever deny an answer to anything I can answer. I offer up as much of my soul in these sessions as I can muster up.

As far as you having trouble putting your thoughts into words...... C'Mon - I don't buy that false modesty for a sec. You're a master of words and you know it. I commented earlier that I enjoy your style of wit and writing, and that remains true.

I just don't understand the apparant feeling that I am attacking you or any other casual users. My posts have always been given with the intent to educate or entertain. I have a lot of experience in this biz, and I love to save younger players from making the same mistakes we made years ago in the trenches.

As far as playing out - go man, go. Have a ball - make the big dough, or do it for the love of art. Just keep the music flowing. That's the only real important issue here. I don't have the eye strength to read anymore "novels" about the subject, but I'll close with a paraphrase of a great writer:

"To play's the thing"
