Ed Old Buddy,

You need to lighten up and listen to some real music. In case you hadn't noticed this is a "Folk Music" site and not Carnegie Hall or the friggin' Kennedy center. Folk music is by nature somewhat outta tune with the mainstream and that's the f*ckin' way it's supposed to sound. You can edit and clean up a song 'til it sounds just perfect, so perfect in fact that it has no sound resembling human beings playing together who may or may not have music degrees. Many of us learned the stuff we play from outta tune old recordings and have taken pains to try and replicate the true sound of the songs. Outta tune fiddle my ass....You highbrows seem to take offence at anyone who attempts to play and have fun with music. How bout puttin' a tune up here yerself. Mebbe you oughta find you a symphonic message board and put the f*cker on there and see how much they enjoy that boring crap. As for every Mudcatter saying "That's great stuff", well mebbe we who've responded really do think it sounds great. Didja ever think of that? I'm feedin' a troll here but I don't give a damn...this lofty attitude crap keeps a lotta people from doin anything at all.
