And, P-Gator, not to worry. Martin will get around to you... He ignored me quite a bit in te early going but once yer on his (or her) list, yer on...

BTW, word on the street is that MG is actually a 13 year old girl from Springfield, Ill. which is just douth of Chicago....

And she has no real musical skills....

Hmmmmm, maybe this expalins MG's fixations on male sex organs???

Her name was Nina Williams and she was 13, had red hair and I was 12, almost 13 and I thought she was like a grown up....

Here's something for morons like bobert to ponder as they try to entertain

There is one person on Mudcat who knows who I really am.

But they are sworn to secrecy and I trust that person completely and he/she is a very old friend.

This person is a regular here as much as I am.

That person does know that:

A) I do live in Chicago
B) I am pretty much what I say I am here
c) I have a day job but am an active musician
D) I'm having a lot of fun yanking the chains of obsessives like bobert and goons like Ron Davies.
E) I'm very happily married with two sons and a step-son
F) That in real life, I am the most bluntly truthfully honest person you would ever meet.
G) That cyberspace is just one big cartoon and that putting too much of an emphasis on it as the reality in your life reveals a 2 dimensional person.

That person is here and knows and is nodding his/her head in approval at what I am saying.

Ebbie--

Wouldn't you agree that to make it authentic "Martin Gibson" you really need the scatalogical element?

I have it on good authority that this is how he "interprets" his favorite song.

She walks thruh the f------ corn leding down to the c--------river
Her a-- shawn like gold in the f------ morning sun
She tuk all the c--- that a f------ pur boy cud give her
And left me to f------die like a goddam c---------- with the runs

(You also need "Martin"s patented spelling).

I'm sure that in his circles he's in big demand. Fascinating that for all his protestations that we mean nothing to him, he's now trying desperately to establish his authenticity.

Also fascinating that he can't do it.



Audition for getting more gigs:

Thanks for calling me a goon. That's never happened before.   I had no idea how afraid you are of me. But I assure you (again)--neither Bobert nor I am in every shadow--you don't need to be afraid.

Don't you ever think before you post?   I know you have only a passing acquaintance with English--but why don't you ever look up a word?--after all that one is only 4 letters long--your kind of word.

Sweet dreams (hope you can stay out of the gutter).

Superb guitar picking to be sure, but the recording really deserves a mention, too--more than a mention, it is cleaner and sweeter than the leading brand, with better balance across the strings than one hears in a lot of the stuff that is not "home recorded"--One thing, though--after a couple quick listens, I tried to play along--couldn't keep up--I think you've got more fingers than I do!

So cool, JP. Is it one of your own?

JustaPicker is a truly great picker. Has everyone heard his picking on the various Mudcat Cafe Blue Plate Special CDs? Not to mention his compilations on a whole CD.

Several years ago, I heard a tune called 'Buckdancer's Choice' (Sam McGee) and posted a thread about it asking if anyone knew it. JP answered that he does it. Long story short: Michael sent me a CD chockfull of his picking that just blows me away. And not just picking- he plays other instruments masterfully.

Now if he would only learn to sing. *G* (That's a joke, OK?)

ron davies, I really don't have anything to prove to you or anyone here.

I am not nearly as big an egomaniac as you are.

I also think that no but you is truly a bigger prick.

I know that you offend so easy but you love coming back for more. It's not even a question of being in the gutter, which is just a lame excuse that you have for wearing panties.

You see, Ron, your words really mean absolutely nothing to me. You are the absolute worst type of person I would want to associate with, a pompous snob who offends easily and worse yet, knows very little about music. so keep answering me and I will keep telling you to open wide while I continue to shove a big turd down your already halitosis throat.

Ron, when I first came to Mudcat, I realized that it was your type of pigsnout attitude that was the problem here. That is why I just enjoy it so much to watch you squirm when you hear a naughty word. Just like your priest, I am sure you are as phony as they come.

Eat the shit you shit, Ron Davies. Gutters are great for draining rainwater off of roofs and for looking down on pricks like yourself.

Bo,

When JP posted his music, I thought this might generate a neat guitar pickin' dueling thread of sound files that could become standard fare up above the line in the Music Section. It still could.

Something positive often comes from something negative.

From: PoppaGator
Date: 19 May 05 - 02:05 PM

Too bad that more of us don't have the equipment and know-how to post performances like JP did. I don't know, though: He set the bar pretty dern high ~ my playing would certainly suffer by comparison (a little bit, anyway)!

Of course, Justa don't sing, so those of us who can passably self-accompany our own voices wouldn't have to feel that we're in direct competition with him...

Which brings us back to the original subject of this thread: Since when is musicmaking a competitive sport? I mean, some folks can play really well, others hardly a lick, but can you or should you have to "rate" or "rank" one player against another? (Especially when both are reasonably competent?) I realize that various "championships" are held for different intruments and different styles, but the results have to be taken with a grain of salt. I mean, I'm sure that all the "finalists" in a fingerpicking contest are going to be excellent players, but how can I believe that the eventual "champion" is really any better than the player who finished #2?

Now, I know that Bobert was just funnin' with us when he kicked this thing off, and certainly prompted a lot of discussion, some of it interesting, so the concept of a picking contest surely does hold plenty of interest. I just had to express my doubts about such a contest's ultimate validity...

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert v. Martin Gibson Pickers Duel....
From: Once Famous
Date: 19 May 05 - 03:10 PM

You are damn right that there is no place for this kind of stupid musical competiveness and that is why from the beginning I didn't think it was funny, clever, or wanted to have anything to do with any kind of contest and said so at the beginning.

Now the originator of the thread is backpedaling because of how stupid the orignal concept was and is on what his concept of "just funnin'" is.

the same originator of the thread, in his completely obsessive way, again turned it into a political platform by bringing his political sour grapes into it almost from the beginning, proving once again that he is a moron and a left-wing kook of the most extreme.

I'll tell you this, bobert. I can spot the serious musicians from the wannabees right away. I move as fast as I can away the musicians with your attitude. At the best bluegrass jam, you would be left to yourself, I can guarantee it.

You are typical of the type of person who tap dances and doesn't take any responsibility for his actions. "didn't mean it" or "just funnin" doesn't let you off the hook for being a schmuck.

I agree Poppagator, in a room full of excellent Musicians it would indeed be difficult to "judge" who excelled...I think that it may then come down to delivery and personality not just Musical ability.
It would be a fun thing to listen too though.
I was kinda hoping that, in an non competitive sense of course, Justa Picker's Music click would inspire some others to do the same.
In the help section someone had already asked if there was ever any thought given to Music Files of People's Music being added to their Profiles...I think that would fascinating and great insight to where People are coming from Musically (for those that wanted to attach a file of course)
Bobert...you are funnin...a lot of people know when you are and when you ain't....it was "fun" for a while but sadly like a lot of Threads these days that start out as fun...this one has taken the inevitable dive from which I think recovery is hopeless.
That's a shame yet again.

"didn't mean it" or "just funnin" doesn't let you off the hook for being a schmuck.

And neither does "I don't take any of the internet seriously, it's all just a big joke to me" let you off the hook for being a schmuck. And you are a schmuck.
