HAHAHA-LOL Bobert- actually pretty funny and all. I clicked on my name and went through my posts which I think started around 12/6-there's one by some Brit I think on St. Albans and buskers, etc. that ISN'T ME-maybe I'm not as original as I thought with the name. As to the "persona" bit I dont think there's much in common-at least not from what you all said and the dude who gave me some long list of Martin's posts. First off I never write foul language and I think I posted one place when I thought someone called me a "pigf*****" that I didnt rile easy and wouldn't respond in kind to anyone who called me anything dirty or rotten. Just isn't in my nature so I'm not sure where you see I adopted a persona someone else made up. Also I see Martin is Jewish which I am not and I suppose I could write up the Apostles' Creed verbatim, but then again I could find some Old Testament quotes easily enough too. So again, proves nothing. I am however a Christian and actually play in a Praise Band for a Saturday nite service at our church and I could rattle off some numbers we do like "Sanctuary" or "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" or "Here I Am, Lord" but I spose ol' Martin might know about those too. I tried to tell folks a bit about myself in one of the threads-maybe the one that got ditched-how I used to be in a group a loooong time ago and play a little 5-string and guitar, but don't play "gigs" anymore-which Martin said he did in Chicago. And I have a Stelling banjo-not a GIBSON. So click on my name and read my stuff which is pretty limited and see if it jives with me bein' the same person (or his mom-LOL!!!!). If you folks are as smart as many of you appear to be judging from the obscure collection of stuff I've read here, you'll make the correct assumptions. And I never said I agreed with EVERYTHING Martin ever posted here (which I couldn't wade thru even if I HAD the time). I keep telling ya--I was a big Kingston Trio fan from my younger years and I don't give a flying fig about "folk music snobs" or whatever he doesnt like about some of you--I just agreed that that first album of theirs turned the music world on its ear and it DID make the Grammy people create a "folk music" category-that's all, ok??? Also I believe I mentioned to Martin he didnt need to use bad language to make his point...and if you BOTHER TO READ MY POSTS YOU'LL SEE THAT. Now I'm done for now. You all think what you want. Im taking the advice to stick around and keep reading and see what I think---and "just a guest"-I AM new here ok?
