Having said that, Curtis, you suck as busker! I wish I could sing and play. C: Well you are probably right. I've been at it for 20 years now and every year I say to myself :"this will be the year I suck less!" With your love of music it would not be hard for you to pick up a guitar and get on Youtube for some free lessons. You can't discount the amount of musical knowledge you have gained through years of listening. Now you just need the athletic ability to match what you have inside with what is on the instrument. Not such a big jump really. Plus you seem to be attracted to the type of music that is relatively easy to pick up to an enjoyable level, blues rock. Like Keith Richards said, "to play this kind of music all you need is three chords, two fingers and one asshole." So we are all overqualified!

It's about attacking the folks Curtis doesn't like. C: I have had friendly conversations with everyone involved in this discussion at one time or another. Sorry to contradict your simplistic reductionist narrative. I do not like their behavior toward Share and my posts expressed that opinion. > That's what I'm saying! And, that's why I've been objecting to - the bullying going on here against Share. It reminded me of the Mean Girls movie. Hardly anybody knows any of the informants posting here and that's what is weird - at first I thought these people knew each other and that's the reason for the personal animosity. But, Emily apparently has never even been to Fairfield, and neither has Judy. Ann, not so bad, but very nit-picky sometimes. But Share's treatment here pales in comparison to some of the other ankle-biting and nit-picking I've seen on FFL. It's one thing to poke fun at each other, but it's a whole other thing to let hatred come through in a newsgroup message. I don't really give a shit what any of you think. That's what I think. Seriously. It's all how you play the game. One of the worst offenders is Judy Stein. While many of her messages are spot-on, often she seems to sink down into the lowest depths of outright meanness. It's not healthy to be that obsessed. She seems able to clown herself sometimes too. It's almost like a gang on a school playground. This isn't the first time somebody has been attacked on this forum for no good reason. I'm used to being ridiculed - I've even come to appreciate it - and so apparently does Barry. What Share does not probably realize is that getting ankle-bitten on FFL is a badge of honor - when that happens, it reveals more about the poster than it does the recipient. Having said that, Curtis, you suck as busker! I wish I could sing and play.
