I'll agree that it's exasperating when people pretend to misunderstand what's been said (or not).
I scarcely knew Rosie but I'm obviously sorry she's no longer here.
I'd disagree profoundly with one thing Ralph says.
He's no crap player and self deprecation tends to make him look rather silly.
Aspiring musicians would do better emulating what he does (musically) rather than what he says.
