Jeez Al...You do keep some erudite company..
Egotistical
rude
underemployed
dismal
irritable
Trite
ever so tedious.

I don't know about Josepp,who did seem to be making an effort to let those of us with no degree in music, or without years of practical gigging experience,take some small steps along the path to enlightenment.
But some of the other contributors just seemed to get a little jealous that someone had taken the time to make that effort..
so getting back to the subject is there anyone who hasn't yet posted their full academic qualifications or dropped in the right number of obscure book titles to prove they are important too?
Oh sorry no it wasn't about that was it?

ps anyone else reading this thread...folk music is great if you are playing it or listening to it ...the god awful tedium only comes when folks start waving their willies about it ..
