Curtis got a lot of enthusiasm, one must give him credit for that. Enthusiasm is the hallmark of an amateur, restraint that of an artist. By claiming to be an artist he makes a fool of himself, much like the clown on the video. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <steve.sundur@...> wrote :
Really nice Curtis! I was smiling from start to finish. And real nice interaction with the audience. Yes, the 5-year-olds were smiling. IMO, I think you artist performance has continued to improve. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : I still object to you demand to be taken seriously music-wise. M: I never demand anyone to take me seriously music-wise. I am satisfied and my paying customers are satisfied, that is good enough for me. N: But let not me be the judge, anyone interested can make their own opinion: M: Fair enough. Here is something more recent, 2008, but I also dig that old video. I am a fan of all the guys you posted. Music is not a zero sum game, there is room for lots of artists. I am able to play a bit more enthusiastically these days than the 4 dead guys you listed however.

M: We are not disagreeing, you just don't understand what it means. It is a field of human activity, it is not a statement of value. I get hired as a teaching artist in schools to bring in the art of music. Some others bring in dance. If you don't like a dancer has your opinion removed them from the field of the humanities and now they are practicing science? When someone pays me to perform music they are paying me for my art form, music. You believe your personal taste is what defines what is and is not art. You are clueless even for a foreign language speaker.
