Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat 10 commandments From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 24 Aug 10 - 10:44 AM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR MUSICIANS (revised) I AM the heart and soul within you, You shall not imitate other player's licks, or singer's voices, thinking they are better than your heart! You shall not sing from your heart in vain, nor in vanity. You shall not make yourself an idol, in your own eyes, nor for anyone else. You shall not bear false witness to how much you know about anything, therefore blocking new input. You shall take breaks, and use that time to focus, and not ask people 'Did you like it?' (Besides, you might want to give the audience a break, from putting up with you, for not obeying the first three!) Honor sound, and your tunings. You can always tell a 'purist', they're always out of tune! It shows arrogance. (See 1, 2, and 3). Thou shall not murder your partners, by drowning them out! BLEND!! Nor shall you be suicidal, and proud of it! Thou shall not commit adultery, or wish for it, as a reward for a good gig. When you have that much to learn, your music isn't saying much from the heart! (See 1,2,and 3.) Thou shall not steal licks, and then announce A 'NEW ORIGINAL SONG' you just wrote. If stealing is in your heart, please don't play, or sing!…Matter of fact, SHUT UP! Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's ax. The right sound is in your head, so get the right instrument that lets you speak the TRUTH...not that you got a 'prestigious' ax, to impress people, that if you were any good, you'd be able to afford it. (See 1,2,and 3.) Sub-part B: Thou shall not fear, nor have bad attitudes about sound equipment, nor processors. If you don't think your dealing with sound, shut up, and don't play! Thou shall not precede a song with lengthy 'histories' of how you came to write it...just play it. If it is interesting, someone will ask you about it. They came to hear music, not how 'special' you think you are! (See 1,2, and 3.) Thou shall use anything you need to make the song sound the way you hear it....the audience will be the judge of your 'taste'. If you play stoned, remember, to YOU the song may FEEL great, even if the notes are all wrong! Learn the discipline of FOCUS instead! Thou shall PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, so when you perform, you can listen and speak to God, with your heart, and not be 'SELF-conscious', but GOD conscious'. Those who commit the sin of SELF consciousness, shall make mistakes. Your PRACTICE will set you're abilities free! Let you mind and heart be upon God, and let Him play through you. (See 1,2,and 3.) Play to God, thanking Him for HIS gift to you. The audience is only your witness, and they'll think its to them, and then you bring them with you....and remember, WE ARE ONE Guest from Sanity |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat 10 commandments From: Smokey. Date: 22 Aug 10 - 10:39 PM Thou shalt not invoke the term 'bigot' against thy neighbour first, for such shall surely showeth thine own to be the bigger bigotry, whether or no thou believest. Thou shalt not recommend thy neighbour to avail himself of a dictionary, though temptation be ubiquitous. Thou shalt not cite thine own definition of thy neighbour's words to evidence thy victory - for lo, thy triumph shall be but fleeting and hollow and thy repute be tarnished. Thou shalt not gratuitously substantiate thy superiority, for it tempteth the wrath of the lowly. Thou shalt not slight thy neighbour's mental acuity, for verily it attesteth that thou art likely his equal. Thou shalt not rent asunder thy neighbour's words for thine own ends, lest thou be discovered a charlatan. Thou shalt not mock the stumbling tongue of thy colonial inferiors, for they knowest not better practice. |

Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat 10 commandments From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Aug 10 - 12:40 PM Sorry! I forgot to include the word "racist" in that handy list of serious character faults to accuse your opponent of. And I also just ended a sentence with a preposition! That was very careless of me. I am clearly not fit to take the first rank among the savants and philosopher kings of Mudcat. I grovel in my unworthiness! |

|
Subject: RE: BS: The Mudcat 10 commandments From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Aug 10 - 12:03 PM Thou shalt sneer superciliously at thy debating opponent's pitiable attempts to oppose thy rock solid position, dismiss them all with an airy wave of the hand, demand lengthy and well documented PROOF of everything he is saying (whether or not it is even possible to find such proof), accuse him of his many glaringly obvious character faults (such as homophobia, being "religious" (gasp!), being sexist, being anti-semitic, being a closet fascist, a "liberal", a "conservative" or some other disgusting thing like that), and then drive the final nail into his coffin, metaphorically speaking, by saying something devastatingly clever such as: "I make a point never to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent." This will secure thy position of superiority here once and for all, and allow thee to bask in the general approval and merit of thy peers that thou dost so richly deserve. ;-D |
