Teasing the Korean Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 ...Women just don't like jazz. Some pretend to, which is nice. For awhile. Then the truth comes out... My wife LOVES jazz and is responsible for many LPs and CDs in our house. Quote
seeline Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 ...Women just don't like jazz. Some pretend to, which is nice. For awhile. Then the truth comes out... My wife LOVES jazz and is responsible for many LPs and CDs in our house. Yes.... my mom's record collection and listening choices ignited my love for jazz at a very early age - around 4 or 5. I loved her Monk LPs (trio and solo in particular), Ella in Berlin - and much, much more. Music is equally appealing to men and women - and small children of both sexes. I was very fortunate in having had the chance to start hearing good music very early in my life, and I'm deeply grateful for that. My dad loved jazz, too, but he knew that the real "adept" in the family was my mother. (and hey - he used to bring her LPs from *Japan*! ) Music isn't a "guy thing," nor is jazz - but bulletin boards have been, for the most part. (Though i've been participating in jazz listervs and on boards off and on since the mid-90s.. there *are* other women like me out there, y'know!) Quote
catesta Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Egalitarian fantasies notwithstanding , most women view jazz the way men view cuddling : as an adjunct or instrumentality to something more 'valued' . I don't think one can gauge loving jazz music by how much one writes on bulletin boards. Some people express themselves by writing; others express themselves in other ways; others just like to listen and learn. Obviously. This is absolutely correct. Plus, how the hell do people expect the women to write more posts when it takes both hands to operate the vacuum cleaner properly? Quote

[just kidding about the quotation marks, but it sure can be hard to figure out a person's sex from their username and tastes alone... ] maybe if more people put their first names in their signatures there would be a lot less confusion. ------- Bev - No, I'm a guy, its a British thing. ------ Fran - actually, its Frank, but I hit <enter> too soon plus learning the first names of a lot of other people here. C'mon folks, its not like you're revealing everything. Quote
seeline Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 A lot of folks would rather not fill in personal information on profiles, period. I'm one of them. for me, it's about privacy issues, as I've had some unpleasant things occur as a result of exchanges on boards. (harassing email and such.) The internet isn't the Wild, Wild Web anymore, but it's still as tricky - and often as difficult - as "real life." BTW, some of you know me from AAJ as "clave." Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I didn't know that was you, clave. I was sorry to see you banned over there. Welcome to the O-board! Quote
seeline Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the welcome, Aggie! (And for your sentiments - it's a long story, and I'm not even sure why it happened...) Best! clave (aka a bunch of other usernames) Edited January 25, 2008 by seeline Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I don't think someone's first name remotely constitutes "personal information" of the sort that would possibly be risky in any way. If your username was your personal email, then I might agree. Telling us your first name is simply being friendly and open on a board that tends to be more "familiar" than most. Quote
seeline Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I've been a music journalist - that's one reason I'd rather not use my real name. but there are others. In fact, I'm accustomed to thinking of internet usernames 1st, even when I know the poster's "real" name! Nicknames are something people don't usually get to choose for themselves, and it's kinda nice to be able to designate your own. Ultimately, it's just personal preference anyhow, for you, too. Quote
papsrus Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 My name is James. I'm a guy. I live with a girl. Have for a long while, ever since that wedding thing. What a party! She's indifferent about jazz, but loves hip hop, and other stuff I can't quite make out but which sounds nice enough. Re: AAJ ... Back to girl talk. Quote
JSngry Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 My name is Maggie, but they call me Michelle. I can be my woman's woman when she needs it, but damned if I'll be anybody's bitch. Waiter, another glass of warm milk. Quote

JSngry Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Oh yeah, to seeline/clave - welcome indeed. Looked at your blog (it is yours, right?) and was intrigued. Also looked at that AAJ blues thread and got kinda barfy. Glad you're "here" now, hope you come to feel the same! Quote
