Chas i dont know if you were really bored today or if you were just looking to mix things up on the forum but i have to say i respectfully disagree with much of what you say in this thread. Most of the demos on this forum are done to illustrate an aspect of the instrument that we play and not to show off our performance skills or talent. It takes courage to post anything on his forum because of this ongoing animosity between supposed adult musicians amateur or pro. I stand up and sing before over 500 people every week in my home church as i will tommrrow, i play for my church choir of over 40 members, i write and perform for small groups of aspiring singers and musicians locally and yet i still have not plucked up the courage to post one single demo of my instrument despite my good intentions . Why ?????? its simply because of the unhelpful, sarcastic and downright meaness of some of the contributors to this forum. It honestly pains my soul to see what grown men do to each other on this forum each week and increasingly on almost every other posting. I rarely comment on a demo here but when i do i try to be constructive and give due consideration to the guy that had the balls to post ! I want to see more people posting and sharing music and ways to bring out the best in the instruments we have. Just because i have the talent to spot weaknesses and tear people to shreds does not mean that i should. And that seems to be the prevailing talent on this forum recently !!What kind of talent is that anyway ???? Anyone can tear people down, create an atmosphere of spite and hurtfulness. Talent is natural ability. Unfortunately some people seem to have an abundance of talent for hurting and provoking hurt. I am not looking for another battle that ends in more hurt and anger and grudge making.

I just want to be part of a forum that supports users of great instruments like the arrangers we own and helps us play better, be more creative and be more productive. Cant you please stand with me chas DNJ,Scotty and anyone else and commit our talents in doing this ????
