In my case, CarolC, Clinton, and Susan are all right, and Jerry too.
I am not a musician, just a fan, of the sort my family refers to as an "active appreciator." A good number of profiles seem to be musician referral sources; some have more than I want to know of biography. But I also rather like the idea that I can check to see what other messages a member has posted, and have formed pretty clear ideas of quite a few members from their postings. I feel a little silly posting a profile but I also rather like the idea that I am not anonymous, as anyone on the same threads may have an idea of me as I do of them, but that my location, gender, day job, and such are just not relevant to what interests me or what I wish to say.
