Now that he has gone to another place(OZ)
Over a year ago El greko mentioned he doesnt enjoy songs with subtlties in the music reduced to a three chord trick.
I know what he means(just)
However isnt it better that a less tallented or experienced player can
join in the joy of playing some of the wealth of music around.
Maybe bring a little entertainment or pleasure to the lives of freinds
family and workmates,and in the proccess(folk?) be putting his "version" of a song into the memories of the people who hear him?
Who may then carry that memory forward and at some point pass it on to another set or even generation of people.
I think I understand that it may be somewhat irksome to have your own painstaking work traduced in this way.
But as a very weak peformer myself I would be upset to think that my own enjoyment of the music I love was one of the reasons that others saw as degrading it.
Dunno quite what the process is,and suspect it may be some elitist clique sort of thing.
Hope it isnt and if it has been the reason that I am able to hear so many songs of the past around today
Well,long may it continue
