When I was a full time contributor I didn't read every post. I read mostly the post where Dave got all fired up. I also read post by Dave and others that had informed me about how I could start a one-man band. That was my primary interest. To me it’s all about being somewhat successful at doing a one man band performance.

Most of the styles on most of the popular keyboards in the past to me were really boring. Again the 4 bar loops on every tune is still boring to me. So I skip the “How wonderful my keyboard is cause it has 50,000 sounds and I can tweak every one of them.” I don’t need 100,000 sounds to tweak. I won’t live that long.

So many of the topics, "either on or off topics" are not at all interesting to me. I simply don't read what I consider boring or uninteresting to me. You should be able to do the same.

Like some post here by people who consider themselves better musicians than others and have posted songs claiming to be jazz players and all they do is play a variety of the melody on three or more choruses. How insulting such a post is to a person that plays real jazz improvisation. Again, after discovering such a post, I simply go to another post that I’m interested in.

I can’t understand why everyone can’t do this and mind their own business and just read what interest them. Quit fighting, that’s for me and Dave to do. We’re in construction! Musicians should be a step above bricklayers and wallpaper hangers.

I hate long-winded post. I usually quit reading after the first 300 hundred-word paragraph! I think only Dave and I should be allowed to ramble on. The rest of you should just post brief and to the point post like DonM, Gary, Fran and Cavanaugh. Tom am I murdering the spelling of you last name? One of my most favorite aunts was a Cavanaugh in New Orleans.

If I just have to read post here about tweaking your keyboards sounds and listening to 6 choruses of melody on your posted tunes, I'm gonna order Gary's Kick-a-poo juice by the 55 gallon drum size and get loaded before I come back.
