Haha no of course I am not keeping a chart Allen. These were remarks in my memory and then all one has to do is use the search button to confirm what you seem to have remembered. I am not offended at all and everyone is entitled to his opinion. It's just that you (almost) always seem to talk from a negative basic attitude. And even when you say something nice it's usually followed by yet another negative remark (Shorter and Hubbard were examples of that). On musicians, writers etc. When I read another post like that I can't help to think: oh God here we go again.... There are also some users here that are more spreading all the joy they have from their music which is more enjoyable to read but also something I learn more from. I am not pleading for positive remarks only here, music should be debated thats part of the fun, but for me positive reinforcement is a lot more powerful than tearing everyone down. This is solely my opinion and of course you shouldn't feel offended by that as well. And of course people should never make it personal with you but I must say that some of your posts are quite harsh and could sound pretty disrespectful. That might of course evoke strong reactions. The point I was trying to make anyhow was that as a musician you might be more sensitive to the whole technical approach where I probably don't hear it the same way as you. For example I am not sure were speaking about the same version of Bird's Lover Man but I love that tune by him and don't hear anyhting wrong. Maybe Emily wasn't such a great player, maybe she was I couldn't say but apparently her music makes a lot of us happy so I really can't care if she uses the same lick twice a minute or play a b where it should have been a c minor. I generally don't like that approach to music. To me it's mostly that either you like it or you don't.
