Jazz for aficionados

O-10, I should have added this to my earlier post, but was rushed; I like clarity.

The reason I even mentioned “apology” in that post was not that I care one iota about receiving one from you; history has shown that you are not capable of that kind of sincerity. Nor do I care one bit about fitting your definition of “connoisseur”. I mentioned it because, to my way of thinking, you owe all on this thread an apology for, once again, stirring the pot of discontent and controversy with your absurd and provocative personal comments even when that same history has shown that whenever you do it, it serves no purpose other than to derail what could be interesting discussion of the music. I care about and respect this music. You care more about what it does for you and your identity. So, go ahead with your proclamations about being top “connoisseur”, “top aficionado”, whatever. You need that; I don’t. I couldn’t care less and frankly find the need to appropriate or use those titles to be incredibly lame, sophomoric and an indication of lack of depth. I don’t think that to describe your condition as “snobbery” is apt; I think delusion is far more appropriate.

So, let’s revisit just one of the more recent and superlative offerings from the “top aficionado” and “connoisseur”, shall we?:

In case you couldn’t tell, your bs gets old.

mary_jo, I haven’t forgotten.

When one is rolling in the mud it's difficult to tell who the low life is.

Nothing in your post pertains to the subject of Nina Simone's piano playing.

I stated "fake snobery" because it was an attempt at humor, but in the future you can count on me not addressing you in any form or fashion, since that is the kind of response it gets, and your bs is much older than anything I could throw down.

I didn't intend to get this muddy, but s--- happens.

Eunice Waymon spent her entire life practicing and studying to become a concert pianist. She was playing at a bar in order to earn money for classical piano lessons when she was told she had to sing.

I can hear all those hours she spent practicing and studying, but you can not. Time, time and again you have demonstrated your tin ear, which all the knowledge in the world or your clever use of the English language will compensate for.

Forget Nina Simone, why don't you read about "Eunice Waymon" and tell me specifically which jazz pianists studied, or practiced harder; that would be responding to a specific question which you can not do, not even if it would save your life.
