No Bud I didn't really think Bebop would drop people from the music list if they didn't send a song in. I just think a couple of his comments could be misinterpreted by those here that don't feel their songs are worthy of being used on the 20 for 1 disks. I could probably come up with something but it won't be very exciting! SO many of the songs I've heard from others sound really professional. I don't want to waste space with a song not worth anyone's while. I understand encouraging others to play and share etc. Encouragment is great. Just not good when it sounds like 'guilt tripping' others. Esp ones that feel bad they have nothing worth sending. I'll work on something.
I bet you're an ear player. I always think ear players have a real advantage. I took piano lessons as a child and piano teachers always make you play things perfectly. Then when I got into keyboards and Fake Book playing, the rules all changed. Now it's fine to change things, add things, improvise...all things I would have been wrapped on the knuckles for when playing piano. All the things that come natural to ear players are harder for people like me I think.
