Littel Hack

I do apologize for any typos - not using my usual machine at the moment, and my MMD sometimes causes me to miss some.

[See - that's using the 'don't beat up on a cripple argument!"] :-)

I do thank you for spelling my name correctly! - unlike WAV - who I have not yet criticised for that... :-P

Now in the Great Tradition of Mudcat Debates...

Moving right along...


"I've learnt from others (TV - e.g. "Musicians Channel", mentioned before; radio; folk clubs; web articles and forums; books; etc.)"

This is fact the problem with your 'self education' - to quote the site
The Amazing Recorder is misleading as to claim that 'English Recorders' are what you play. Bet your chromatic instrument has a thumb hole... Do you know if any of King Henry VIII of England's collection of 47 recorders [12 tone chromatic?] have thumb holes, or where they just 8 tone diatonic 'whistles'?

Since you isnist that YOU are the only one correct with your theories formed on misinterpertations of things better known by those with more 'Sherman Tank' type education, you might want to consider not telling them that THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. Damn, anothter typo - hit the shift lock - but I'll leave the emphasis...


"it's more folkie to play by ear"

Ahhhhhhh.... Documentation?

Ok, I get it now - never let the facts spoil a good argument in the Mudcat BS threads...
