Subject: Re: Lighten up--was Soloist's Freedom

And what on earth was that strong language for ?

I'm not lucky enough to have met Mike Will
or anyone on this forum , actually.
Just a note that I went thru all of Mike Will's pieces.
I was engrossed by his melodies.
Uh , only Stormy Sea II was the one
I don't like. Everything else is melodies.
I hate playing the critic , as it's not wise
since I'm a closet player who plays by ear
with just scrapings of music theory, but whenever
I have done it , it's always been from the listener's
point of view. I prefer to corkscrew my harp outta my mouth
and just listen and find the music.
Apart from some timing lapse I noticed
on a few spots , Mike Will's recordings
were beautifully played.
Not to mention the crystal clear
sound for such low rate as the 24 or 56 Kbit.

Wouldn't we all 've been better giving each other
some feedback like "I like your stuff , minus some
timing , or a bit more variety etc."

I miss the good old harp-l sounds page
where I've learned few useful things along the way
those five plus years watching and chipping in here.

This is like The Stooges in the catering business.
Ends up in cake throwing williwaw.
