...been enthusiastic until recently. (Oh, William Steinberg's and MTT's band was excellent.) So give it a break.
Also I wonder how many of those who take pokes at me, have so assiduously followed *any* symphony orchestra?

taking pokes? - docw 12:40:27 02/13/07 (13)
I have heard many orchestras, but admittedly listen more at home on LP and CD with some FM.
I am glad you can hear the BSO live and it's doing well. Perhaps it's the top band in the land nowadays and is back to world class. That would be good.

    Since I joined AA, I have always noted your opinions and respected them, and will continue to do so. I admire someone who goes to decades of concerts without breaks. I loved Steinberg with Pitt and the recordings with BSO also. thanks for putting up with me, and sorry for any misunderstanding.

        and funny that I thought of you last week. I just got a bunch of old mono LP's in excellent shape. A friend talked his 85 year old mom into giving his late father's LP's away. Working my way through them, and wanted to post them to you and ask if you'd comment. See link.

        Yeah, those guys. But: Mono?! Ya gotta be kidding! Mono's worse than radio! - clarkjohnsen 09:29:23 02/14/07 (7)

        Anyone who listens to live music on the radio is already "half-assed", according to one of those guys, and that was in stereo... so mono must be for full asses!
        My recommendatuion is for you to give them all to me and salvage your reputation.

        Here's your misrepresentation of what I said:
        "Anyone who listens to live music on the radio is already "half-assed", according to one of those guys...."
        Here's what I actually said:
        "You sure as hell can't hear musicians' true sounds through a radio no matter how good your system is. Judging an orchestra without hearing them live and feeling the solo and ensemble sounds in your gut is half-assed, to say the least."
        Funny how you don't hesitate to misrepresent others' words while almost simultaneously complaining: "Don't put words in my mouth please."
        You're right about one thing though. You *are* a FULL ass.

        As you've mentioned before, you have never heard my music.

        I should know better? Why? My collection has never been graced with an album from this gentleman...
        That has not prevented you from categorizing it as "notional", despite your endless complaints about other people making judgements without first LISTENING. Why? Because in addition to possessing a number of other less than desireable traits, you're a poster boy for HYPOCRISY.

        Stating the obvious now qualifies for recognition as excellent audio "journalism"?
        Transparently lame bs.
        ...you wouldn't have posted that dumb attempt at an analogy.
        Your "analogy" is ridiculous.
        We can't all be geniuses like you who never err.
        I decided to shorten my reply to your previous drivel.
        Only a silly twerp like you...
        I ain't on "any audio board" seeking an endless stream of blather and bluster from you.
        There are enough good-spirited people at AA offering up opinions and experiences sans a display of ego malfunction in costume as aggressive and unwarranted self-assuredness to make it interesting.
        Thanx for the laugh. You really should have your own show on Comedy Channel.
        I see you're in full strut for turkey day.

        After all, those are kind of collective lyrics, representing the view of your internet personna so many others share.

        Though a membership requirement ought to be that you actually make your notional living at it.
        For instance, I played eight notional ballets last week, taught several notional students, and shipped two sets of notional program notes to the notional Pittsburgh Symphony (along with four notional sidebars), a set to the notional Boston Conservatory, and three more to other notional clients.
        Meanwhile, I'll bet you played a few notional gigs and did the grunt work getting your notional CD (on which you were the notional composer, arranger, and bandleader, not to mention the occasional notional alto soloist) out and heard, among other notional things.
        I believe that one of our by-laws ought to be that we can only make our notional judgments about other musicians' worth by evaluating their internet postings. Why listen? That would be as stupid as, say, evaluating audio devices by their sound!
        Another would be that we should take EVERYTHING personally while expecting everyone else to have a thick skin.
        I'm not sure we could force members to archive every notionally contrary internet posting for future use, however; even notional musicians (sometimes) have notional lives.
        I refuse to be president, however. Thanks anyway. There's only so much notional time for this notional sh!t.
        
        Hmm. The amount of $$ I'm making is......notional. Can I still be a member? nt - Rick W 15:32:49 02/14/07 (0)
