Much as I hate to say it, I think it's pretty likely that "Martin" is indeed a pretty fair picker. If he weren't a player, what the hell would he be doing here, among so many of us who disagree with him about just about everything outside of music?

According to my latest theory, the elite job and high income are more likely to be figments of his imagination than the intrumental prowess. There are loads of deluded low-to-middle-income Americans who toe the Republican/Neoconservative line because of their pathetic belief that they, somehow, are going to become one of the privileged few whose greed needs to be protected from taxes intended to serve the common good. MG shows all the earmarks of a member of these brainwashed masses.

He's probably not highly socialized, and probably spends a lot of time by himself polishing his instrumental technique (and perhaps polishing one of his intruments as well, ha ha, the much-maligned skin flute).
