Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Barry Finn Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:24 PM Thge 1st thing a child learns when they go out into the world, be it the playground, pre-school, kindergarden, the school yard or he sand box is "TO PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". It what's early child educators 1st focus on, what they 1st report to parents on & what they 1st teach. How you learnt how to do this yet? It doesn't amtter how well you "play with yourself" once you enter the sand box, it only matters "how well you play with others" then are we having fun yet. Not am I having fun but are we having fun. Those who support a bunch of players that go around to festivals during the high season & pull off this exclusiveness are supporting "Bulling Behaviour". If you're playing excludes any other kid from playing along in the sand box YOU ARE A BULLY, plain & simple Learn to play with the other kids! My son was playing upstairs wih his buddies last night when I was reading part of this post, I thought I'm not proud of how well he plays (he's 18) but I am very proud of how well he plays with others. IT'S A LIFE SKILL, you need to know it in order to be excepted in the workplace, in the church, the shoolyard, at a party, at any function, with your family & in-laws. You waon't to play in a way that excludes others, espicaly when there's no other sand box forthe other kids to play in, GO HOME & play somewhere private. When it "open" & "public" the sand box belongs to everyone to play in. How Rude, if I ever cross the pond the "Big Session" will be one I won't be attending unless the players grow up. Barry |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Def Shepard Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:18 PM Well it was funny (for some of us) while it lasted, some very humourous remarks and quips are buried in there somwhere. I have nothing to apologise for, but i think it's time for this thread to go nighty night. As I've said somewhere before, there are some amazing you'uns out there from whom we could all learn, I also said I was in awe of some I've met and performed with, and I always will be. Goodnight Mrs. Calabash. |

Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Peace Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:08 PM Last: Sorry, Mick. I'd still like to know why this thread ahsn't been closed. |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Peace Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:07 PM I'll join you. Why hasn't this travesty been closed? |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Big Mick Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:02 PM I regretted it right after I sent it, Peace. But I am tired of this thing. Time for me to leave it to all of the others. I am starting to shoot from the lip (or fingers, as it were). Have fun, kids. Mick |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Peace Date: 17 Jun 08 - 06:00 PM "but I realized that I would just be sic'ing Lizzie the wacko" That is beneath you. And if it isn't, it should be. |

Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Big Mick Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:55 PM The essential point that is being ignored as people rush to "hear themselves talk" is this from the original post: This isn't about age, this isn't about who is hip, this isn't about the folk police. This is about a session advertised to the general public, to bring their instruments. The artists that were hired either were given the wrong message, or they turned it into their own little "look how great we are" session and ignored players beneath them. They may have done this because they thought that was their role based on what the festival organizers told them. I believe Charley over reacted, but he is certainly entitled to his feelings. And you lot sure know how to beat something to death. I was going to close this damn thread, but I realized that I would just be sic'ing Lizzie the wacko, and the rest of you on someone else. So knock yourselves out, but do us all a favor. Keep it here..... Mick |

Unfortunately I will not be at Sidmouth this year, Mate. Finances just won't permit. Look out for a resurgence next year tho', like Arnold, I'LL BE BACK!! Don T. |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: The Sandman Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:52 PM 400. a lot of people who go to sessions seem to forget about enjoying music,likewise a lot of people who contribute to discussions,the session .org is particlarly bad at the moment. it must be a full moon.http://www.soundlantern.com/UpdatedSoundPage.do?ToId=3527&Path=PaulDavis.mp3http://www.soundlantern.com/UpdatedSoundPage.do?ToId=3527&Path=PaulDavis.mp3 |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Bee Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:52 PM I may feel guilty about this later, but I found this whole thread highly amusing. Festivals in this bucolic paradise (damn, we're even a day's drive away from the sneered at hick-town of Toronto!) don't even have 'sessions' or 'singarounds', just open mics and a whole lot of field pickin'. You wander around the grounds after the stage shuts down and join in wherever it looks and sounds like a good idea. The stage bands are usually playing in front of their RVs and mostly welcome anybody to join in. Occasionally you get a group that is a little standoffish or a little exclusive, you just leave 'em to it and move on. I've never seen youth or age come into it as a factor. Plenty of both, and lots of great musicians - some of 'em even do Nashville eh? |

Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Gulliver Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:43 PM Everybody who has read this thread has certainly gotten a nasty dose of Mudcat rudeness. Don't know why I bothered, it's been depressing. I agree with that, Mary. I'm glad there's very little liklihood of ending up in a session with some of the posters here. |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Melissa Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:39 PM Peace: Maybe they're waiting for somebody to admire the cleverness of creating a thread that mirrors the situation Charley came here to air out about? Poor guy..getting the same miserable thing twice. |

Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: GUEST Date: 17 Jun 08 - 05:22 PM well, the behavior described in this thread is an example of young, cliquish, self-absorbed musicians who may have learned their licks but haven't learned how to 'share' with other musicians yet! There is a difference between a 'performance' and a 'session'. |

Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Peace Date: 17 Jun 08 - 04:22 PM And speaking of . . . . The chicken and the egg had sex. When they finished the chicken lit a cigarette and said, "Well, I guess we've answered THAT question." |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: GUEST,Saggy Date: 17 Jun 08 - 04:20 PM Quote from Houston Diamond: "I am sorry if some people dont think I'm very nice but I still love and care about you all because you are who you are and that is beautiful." I think you are downright bloody horrible :-P........ ........but I still love and care about you too Houston ;-P lol |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Houston_Diamond Date: 17 Jun 08 - 04:12 PM BTW, a shakey egg won't cook right. Believe me, I know... :) you must've read the wrong chapter in the Delia Smith book ;) lol |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: GUEST,Jon Date: 17 Jun 08 - 04:06 PM OK, but please do not bring an ocean drum. |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Gene Burton Date: 17 Jun 08 - 04:02 PM BTW, a shakey egg won't cook right. Believe me, I know... :) |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Gene Burton Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:59 PM I think anything labelled as a compote should, legally, comprise a certain percentage of fruit (I think it's pretty high, maybe 70 or 75 %). I had some on a pancake once; it was a bit rich. |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Houston_Diamond Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:59 PM this thread has upset me so much that I'm going to attend each session with a badly tuned jaws harp and a shakey egg that goes out of time!!! ;p lol |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Houston_Diamond Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:51 PM I got it... chutney?!? lol |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Houston_Diamond Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:49 PM what if there's not enough seats?!? lol |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Gene Burton Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:45 PM Did somebody mention jam sessions earlier? Allow me to clarify. It's only a jam if there's enough seats for everybody. If it's standing room only, then it should more correctly be termed a compote. And there's another thing...no, sorry, it's gone. Have a good one... |
Subject: RE: more session rudeness From: Houston_Diamond Date: 17 Jun 08 - 03:44 PM lol ;) you don't have to be anti-social to be a folkie but it helps ;p hehehe |
