I don't know anybody here that has the resources to actually travel all over the world to meet up with the people they have been interacting with on line here on the forum for years ...
a big point of this thread was to just have a little fun ….send someone an e pat on the back...
or let them know they are in your thoughts .
Kenny
I'll try...
For every person that reads or participates in the fora, whether or not they post their attempts at creating music. (since everything is suppose to be "music related" and includes "engineers" and becan I feel I should note.)
To all the guitarist- me brothers- never stop. Always remember that nobody can play like you. Listen to yourself and work on the sounds that YOU enjoy about yourself and the sounds of other pickers and don't ignore the people in your life in exchange for playing time. (that's my "pat on your back" and best advice I have.) I really enjoy listening to guitarist and it doesn't matter if they are advanced players or not...I love the instrument and enjoy hearing people picking on them. Style doesn't matter either. I think I've enjoyed all styles at one time or another.
To all the other musicians ( that play a stringed music instrument) - I envy you. I wish I had the time and money to buy and spend time learning how to play them...and with that I guess I won't know who to mention since I don't anyone here that does either, unless they have fooled me with their digital abilities.
To all the engineers that don't play a stringed instrument or drums/percussion and seem to really offer nothing but opinions about every little thing and want everybody to know they do- have a long life and prosper.
If that sounds bad...sorry, but I've never met one fitting that definition that I could stand to listen to for over two minutes after I realized they were just knob jobs. ( and yes I do think many that post here fit in that category because they don't post any of their attempts...they only talk the talk and not walk the walk...so it's them causing me to think that of them....but that's not to say I might enjoy shooting a game of pool and drinking a beer or two with them...IF they don't talk about music or their opinions about what's the best gear to use.
To all the programmers of music related software-
I think it's ironic that you create and make a living off of pissing customers off and leave them with no worries of accountability and taking their money with no guarantees...while needing "agreements" that require lawyers to understand...maybe some lawyers can anyway. That put's you in the same class as government employees which is ironic...we're not suppose to even talk about that. When it's time after milking a feature...you or Microcrap apples will change everything...or an "update" for another fee...just a new tit for yourselves. (right next to lawyers if ya noticed)
To all drummers and percussionist- I think you should all be beautiful women. I love to watch beautiful women shake that thing...If you're not a beautiful woman I think we'll be talking, drinking and shooting pool...just kiddin'...
I just really don't know anything much about drums but realize if you don't distract me from the groove...you're pretty good....so let's shoot a game of pool and chase some pretty girls around and you can talk about the drums with the bassist.
I guess the digital world has given us the means to spend our communication/relation in this manner since creating music together doesn't require us to be in the same place at the same time. Kind of ironic that it's also the means of us talking about getting together at the same place, same time.
That's really all I have to say so spending time and money to visit..?..I guess I have to say it's just not a good idea to me. Sorry, nothing personal and I don't have a pool table, damn it. Well....now ya got me thinking about building a game room Kenny...my wife really,really likes ya LOL...and my coffee got cold typing this crap.
