Sure, Martoon. Have a look in the mirror. Everything you have said about others, you, yourself, are far more guilty of than they.

But I think the real reason you are pitching hissy fits today is because Justa Picker is getting more and better attention than you, and you just don't have the guts to get out from behind that cartoon character you always hide behind here in the Mudcat (so you won't have to take responsibility for being a schmuck), and let people know who you really are, and what sort of a musician you are (or aren't).

Wrong as usual, CarolC. I am not competing with Justa picker. He and I have always gotten along and my hat is off to him. I consider him a good guy and we have exchnaged more than a few pleasantries.

However, my needs and wants here are quite different. I prefer to remain anonymous and if you have trouble with that, I guess that's just too bad.

My identity is quite secure away from this forum. I do not come here for any sense of community because it's mostly bullshit anyway. I do like to read and occasionally contribute to the music section of which I am a country music historian along with a serious guitar collector.

as far as below the line, this place is a complete joke because of a half dozen idiots like yourself who rely on it to justify your otherwise quite morbid existence.

Thanks, Ebbie, and now that MG has insulted my friend CarolC, who has pulled my butt outta many a fire here in Mudville, I'z gonna use that as just a little extra incentive at the Getaway where I fully plan to bring my half to the competition... Yeah, this mighta started out just funnin' but MG has said too many hurtfull things to too many foliks here who are my friends... So, he may want to blow this off as "stupid" (his words) but it ain't stupid no more...

If he wants to prove to anyone that he is a real person with real talent then maybe he oughtta just bite the bullet and show... A no-show will speak volumes about what Martin isn't... Volumes...

"Martin"--

4:59PM 19 May 2005--"I do like to read and occasionally contribute to the music section of which I am a country music historian along with a serious guitar collector."

This is fascinating. In English it makes little sense, but if you translate it into German, it fits better (..".sowie ein Guitarsammler", as I recall. Now before you get your knickers in a twist (yet again), Martin, don't worry--I'm not accusing you of being a German. I'm sure you'd never live that down, and as you know, our main goal here is to make you happy--a goal which so far has eluded-- (look it up, "Martin")-- us.

But if you're a country music historian along with a serious guitar collector, why don't you let the serious guitar collector comment so you can go back to work?

OK, now, let's just look at one of your most recent contributions "above the line".

Tricks to Playing Along With Others: "Martin Gibson"--"I just stay away from jams where there are poor players who don't know what they are doing" --(congratulations on spelling every word right, by the way).

"Just stay away"--would you care to explain how your comment helps somebody who is trying to learn to play along with others? I don't know how we could ever get along without that bit of sage advice.

As I recall, you have commented many times on snobbism. Care to look in the mirror?

And "a serious collector of guitars". Assuming that is in fact meant to be you--you did in fact list a bunch recently--2 possibilities.

1) You're blowing smoke, as usual.
2) You indeed have a lot of dusty guitars and you've deprived a lot of people who would play the guitars better of the chance to do so. (Don't worry, I'm not including myself).

At any rate your above comment pretty clearly indicates how deeply you believe in your recent pious exhortation-- (uh oh, another dictionary word for you, "Martin")-- that people should co-operate in making music, not compete--a laudable sentiment, but, as I pointed out earlier, just slightly hollow coming from you.

Unwillingly, I'm forced to the conclusion that, even above the line, your absence would be survivable.

You do provide a lot of entertainment below the line, but your one trick (profanity) is wearing a bit thin.



However, I just have to tell you again, "Martin", how much it meant to me to have you call me a goon recently.

Now, let's take the charitable interpretation--that for once you did know what you were talking about--it has to happen sometime, right?

OK--a goon, in the US, is a pretty fearsome creature--somebody you don't want to tangle with in a dark alley.

All my life I've wanted to have a bully afraid of me.   Aside from the time I chased 2 would-be muggers to their stolen car,-- (true, by the way),-- it's never happened.

"Martin"--you, my dear friend, are a classic bully.

You try to push people around as much as you can. Guys who disagree with you are usually wacked-out pinkos, queers or another choice phrase. You especially try to bully women, in the most revolting way--but you're an equal-opportunity bigot--I remember your somewhat intemperate (to say the least) attacks on Kwanzaa, and Jews who have the temerity to disagree with you are branded "weak Jews" or even "not a real Jew". You use the the most vulgar, if unrelievedly stupid, approach you can muster.

But you have a real problem in bullying people, in that the Net is, of necessity, a medium of words, and, aside from gutter language, --(I bow to your unparalleled mastery of that)--you have absolutely no chance in that arena.

It's also fascinating that the only time we've managed to get you to establish yourself as legitimate (not just a troll) was when some people were implying you might well be a 14-year old girl (you'll be relieved to hear that I don't think you're a girl--no girl in her right mind would ever spend as much time in the gutter as you do, nor be so obsessed with her own masculinity.) I suppose there's still the possibility of a hermaphrodite.

However, "Martin" must be somewhat insecure in his/her masculinity, to say the least. Perhaps he/she has never heard of quiet confidence.

As I have mentioned before, I do have to thank you for providing a wonderful service in bonding people from all over the world together--so many feel the same about you. Pardon my skepticism that you are in any kind of music group whatsoever. Your track record of getting along with people is, shall we say, not stellar.

But, "Martin", since you obviously spend so much time in the men's room, at least we can hazard a guess as to what your "high-paying corporate job" might be-(I hasten to add that we are not sure). (This is my only visit to "Martin" in the lower depths).

Hey, "Martin"--just give me your address and my wife and I can drop you a postcard from Argentina or Brazil where one of my groups-- (but not my chantey group or my bluegrass group)-- will be on tour this summer.

Where did you say your next tour would be?

And maybe Justa Picker or somebody else with the musical talent and technical expertise will contribute another wonderful interlude.

bobert, I won't be there. I have my own gigs to play and would never play with such a complete asshole as yourself.

I'll be recording a banjo part on 5 songs on a friend's CD this weekend. You will no doubt get up in front of people, pretend to be a black blues singer with the 3 chords you know, and easily make a penis head of yourself, effortlessly when you rant about me, about 800 miles away from where you live, where most everyone looks alike with their wide foreheads and eyes far apart.

Been away for a few days...

JustaPicker, you just get better and better. I have it on "Repeat" at the moment. Thank you.

I am afraid Martin didn't get the "joke". There are no competitions at the Getaway, just lots of people, some incredibly talented/some not, some professional/some not, sharing their music and knowledge and themselves.

Among my favorite Getaway moments was seeing a young woman who was just a beginner shyly asking Rick a question and getting his undivided attention and a one-on-one lesson.

Anyone who can't be bothered wasting time with low or no talent players or who sees no merit in the the off key renditions performed by the new and the nervous won't be happy at the Getaway. After hours sessions are inclusive. And it is all about sharing happiness along with the music.


Damn! Even I am gagging on the saccharine of that statement...but it's true.

Finally, I don't know where you get your info on Ron Davies but it can't be the same Ron I know. The depth of his knowledge and the range of his talents are only exceeded by his willingness to share them. Of course, I have no knowledge of his genitals (size, shape, etc.) so I can't comment on that but his wife (quite stunning, by the way) seems content.

bobert's area is 100s of miles away from me and I could not even tell you what side of the street the "Gateway" is on much less care.

It's the very idea that he thinks that it is a joke which is what makes him have the personality of a malignant tumor. Many here know that I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I sit here and laugh at a lot of stuff, but there is much that I shake my head at and think why some folkies are some of the biggest morons there are.

Ah, "Martin", as always the soul of good nature and tolerance--establishing yet again that he does not in fact play with any group--in fact it looks more and more likely that his foaming at the mouth about his musical abilities and accomplishments is just that--his extremely active fantasy life.

Martin you really need to go back on the thorazine--or whatever they have you on.

And actually it seems to be getting clearer what you got your medical discharge from the military for.

Just spare us your less than persuasive advocacy of co-operation, not competition, in playing music. Believe it or not, you're not the best spokesman.
