Jazz for aficionados
O-10, FYI, my comment about participants with other reasons had to do with the simple fact that I have read astute comments about jazz on other threads and from participants who don't post here. So.........there have to be "various other reasons"...no? You take these things WAY too personally; imo. (Just one more reason why I tell my wife that I never want to retire) |
Frogman, I read where there are men on the moon; but I wont say where because I was sworn to secrecy. Alex has been sincerely trying to find some answers, that you have, but will not divulge them. Btw, I think you shortchange others on this forum. There are many participants here who, for (I assume) various reasons, choose not to participate in this thread. I base that on comments I read made on other threads. Imo, it's always best to not make too many assumptions about what and how much one knows; personally, I prefer to focus on what I may not know. It sounds to me like you have a secret that others want to know, why don't you tell us why the multitudes of others refuse to post on this thread; that's an old trick. Every Time things are running smooth on this thread you rock the boat. Things were running smooth on page 148; that was too good for you wasn't it? |
Reading all that text above, guess Acman would say something like this... https://youtu.be/5DmYLrxR0Y8 |
In regard to the question, "Why do some people start new threads for jazz questions?" Honestly, I don't know, but I can speculate in regard to some possibilities. This might be the longest thread in the history of "Audiogon"; it's so big that people are intimidated when they try and get a feel for what it's about. That sounds like a very good reason to me. If they have a question, and start a thread asking the question they want answered, they are guaranteed of getting responses. If you notice, this thread is comprised of regulars who have been on this thread since it's beginning on 02-24-2013. Occasionally we'll pick up a knowledgeable aficionado, and lose him after a few pages of quarrels that he has no interest in, and if they continue; he's gone for good. Apparently Frogman knows how to get under my skin, and get a stupid argument going, because he does it quite frequently, and says "Who me?" I stated that Milt Jackson is the undisputed king of the jazz vibraphone, actually hoping to open a discussion and ward off any serious debate; especially since Rok had already stated that Milt Jackson was the king. As it happened, Frogman was the first responder, and there is nothing Frogman likes better than a good argument, and he wont quit with me until he gets one. So much for that; back to a more serious question that Frogman claims to have the answer to "Why aren't there more posters on this thread?" If you go through the music threads that date for a year, you will see very few relating to jazz, and even the one's you find will be very specific, and it will be obvious why they asked the question on a new thread, as opposed to coming here. That's my conclusion, if anyone has anything else, please share it. Enjoy the music. |
