Very impressive Basil..I dont think anyone including myself was questioning your credentials..It was obvious to me you were a seasoned musician with lots of training and expierence..It was the way your post read..I took it as slamming musicians for not playing covers exactly as they were written..Myself being a dingy bar 5 dollar band musician couldnt relate to what was being said..I play totally by ear and what I hear at any given time in the song I play..Theres no charts in front me..Im not saying thats a bad thing..We are 2 different types of musicians is all..But no one needs to to be told how to play a cover properly..When you cover someone elses music its supposed to be your version..
I think its very commendable all the charity work you do and its great you overcame all the adversity you had to go through in your childhood,but Im sure everyone has their battles in their lives and we dont need to fight it out on a tiki central forum..
Good luck to you..Lucas Ill see you soon ..
Ill know go back to lurking and sending Squid virus emails!!!!!!!!!!!!
