Don: "It didn't take me long to begin to suspect that the ones who were giving me the most grief about my music study were guys who didn't really believe what they were saying to me, but actually felt that what I was doing gave me too much of a "competitive edge" when it came to getting singing jobs!   In fact, I was told this by a friend who had heard someone say exactly that!
Interesting!"

I found that VERY interesting as well! It sounds to me, like the same kind of minds, that would be very easily co-opted politically(as in other areas), and harp on about issues, on a lazy, shallow level!!!
Note: I am not in any way referring to our earlier discussions, but merely pointing out that these minimalist wannabes, psychic vampires would sponge off you, and then try to keep you down, as to not let you shine too far above the product of their own lame laziness!! Frankly, certain 'folkies' are just about that..and hung up in the past....to wit, the last time they learned anything new!!

Very interesting!!
Hey, thanks for the bit of history!
