Danielle is a guy.

Does it really matter? Let s/he be. Just because s/he doesn't share your (okay, our) musical tastes, no need to run a potential jazz fan off. :wacko:

Very well could be.

Simply put, there are two options. One, Danielle is exactly what she says she is: a 14-year old girl interested in jazz. And here we go - yet again - running a potential young jazz fan out of our "clubhouse."

Conversely, she could be some old dude wasting his time and ours by posting on some jazz forum that s/he really cares nothing about. If you believe that, just ignore him/her.

Frankly, I'd rather err on the side of having a few minutes of my time (humorously) wasted than gang up and chase someone off. It's the internet; I've been fooled before and I almost certainly will be again. It's no big deal...

Look. To everyone I'm sorry. Yes, even you Chuck and Catesta. Seriously I am. I just wanted to fit in. Yes I am a girl 14 yrs. And have a big passion for jazz. You can believe what you want. But I'm here to talk about jazz and musicians of any type as well. So, can you stop ragging on me please? I've asked a few time and I'd appreciate it.

Tell you what - stop expecting a bunch of adults, some of whom have been seriously deep into this music 3-4 times longer than you've been alive, to hear things with your ears and see things through your eyes, and I'll do my part to discourage them from disparaging you from having your own 14 yr old eyes and ears and for using them as you see fit. That's what you should be doing, dammit, and for people to give you shit just because you got some sass is pretty shitty, I think. And some of us should know better. We really should.

It's a beautiful thing that you're into what you're into, especially at such a young age, but trust me when I tell you that you're just experiencing the very tip of the iceberg. Some of the dissing you've gotten has been pretty rough, and I personally don't think it's right. But dammit, you're in with a crew who's gotten into this stuff waaaay deeper than you've yet even had a chance to even think about. I'm not busting you on this, or playing the "age card", but that's jsut the way it is - the longer you live, the more you learn. Hopefully...

I was 14 once (hell, I've been 14 three, going on four times now :g ), so I can tell you that no matter how musch you think you know now, or how much you really do know now, you're going to know a shitload more in the future - if you keep your mind and your ears open, and if you don't block off new information just because it comes in an "unpleasant" package.

I really do admire you for coming here, and I really do admire you for having the gumption to tell people to fuck off. That shows that you got spirit and independence, and I respect the hell outta spirit and independence. Now let's see if you have the good sense to learn about shit you're not going to be exposed to in school and not just be a fan of what they give you to look at.

I for one think that you do. You got the stuff, I believe. But ultimately it's your call.

Fair?

I've got your independence right here.
