Uh, wow! There have been some very bizarre posts here today, to say the least. Frogman has done a pretty good job rebutting Rok's oddball post of his five points - one out of five ain't bad, as he said. Numbers 1 and 2 are both completely ridiculous.
However, even more disconcerting was to read what O-10 suddenly posted, saying "A top "jazz musician" is someone classical musicians like Learsfool don't believe exist." WTF??!! What on earth are you referring to?? Certainly nothing I have ever said, on this board or elsewhere!! I am not at all sure I know what your point is, but the main point to be made about what I think you are saying about making music is that what you are saying is true of ALL musicians - no matter what genre or style they play. (That's a horrible sentence, but no time to edit, I'm off to play a show) And no one I know of has ever said it wasn't. So I honestly don't understand what you are even talking about, O-10, and I am beginning to share in Frogman's despair about ever being understood here......please explain?
