Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I never doubted for a minute, that there was the possibility you could blow all of us supposed musicians out of the water, and you sir, proving that with Spring Breeze.. I would like to get some guitar lessons from you Glen, when I am able to afford them.. ..you people should listen to Spring Breeze on Glen's player, it will blow you out of the water.. I think I am going to set my guitar down, and slink on outta sight and hide in the shadows.. I am humbled..

Damn Glen, Spring Breeze is good! You have some serious chops Bro! That's wayy better playing than I have heard from our resident Jazz guy!

pretty good stuff.

YesOrNo

Glen I listened to that and thought, "Na...this boy can't be a yankee. He actually knows how to play!" And that's when I knew you must be from southern New York!

You just brought a couple tears to my eyes Dayne... Thanks....
Let me explain one thing... I LOVE all the people that get involved with this site.

I HAVE MET and INTERACTED with SOME of the GREATEST MUSICIANS in the WORLD, because of this site. On this site, and because of this site. Yes I'm talking about such a long list of great musicians that have shared some GREAT MUSIC here! That includes you DAYNE. Don't put your guitar down. You play just as good as me. All the musicians that posted after you are incredible people and awesome musicians, and artists from all walks of life, and different talents.
I don't know if I can explain it properly... Vamp is such a good writer.... There is a history of his that is incredible. We have never covered it, but that is one of the talents of his. Even Mark and Mike are very talented people. I could go on.... Including you Dayne.

Sorry for rambling. Let me move on.
Dayne THANK YOU. You just reminded me of something I have loved forever. Brings to mind the words of Roger Daltrey.
"Pick up my guitar and play...
Just like yesterday...
Then I get on my knees and pray...
We don't get fooled again"

For the first time in more than 8 years I'm starting to feel like I can put my guns down... and pick up my guitar...... and play.....

Thanks guys...

Man you are really pushing me... NY.... Another really phucked up state!
Really complicated to try and get a city girl to understand it is time to vote with our feet.
Find me a 100 acres near you.... I would be happy as pig in a clean wide open space!!!!!

Mike, you are a friend....

they say to never dig up bones, but the psychological shock some musicians must be experiencing hearing you killing it Glen.. you never saw me once ever say anything about "don't have music on your player you must not be real", but I have heard that from more than one here, don't know why people seem to think without music up you have no validity.. same goes with "if you ain't gigging you are a nobody" I have heard here numerous times, mentality, that's utter hogwash .does gigging over 300 times from 1981 to 1984 count? . can't wait for the jazz residents to weigh in on your great playing, it will be good .. I'll get the popcorn ready and will be waiting .. they were really set on their "beliefs" and now must eat crow..

That sounded real good, Glen. I like they way you put it all together. I wasn't sure how to get to hear it. I was thinking that the profile was the web page since I never bothered to hit the link. Surprise surprise. I'm glad Dayne posted that because it inspired me to search for it. Now I can change my music when I want to.

I can't even set up stuff at YouTube because the instructions are for shiit, I keep thinking "well maybe this is where I have to go to edit".... and then I'm on a wild assed goose chase until I end up back where the hell I started without ever finding where I needed to go to do whatever I had to do. Shouldn't there just be a button for that?

One of my videos was put up by a guy at a now long defunct forum so I can't link them. So the forum has control over it even though it no longer exists. Yup. I really do dig the digital age... now if we could all only think like programmers who write stuff to their perspective instead of for the average person who has to use it.

I bought this really cool drum machine. I thought I would just dial up what I wanted or something pretty close so I could jam with it. Too bad the instruction book is bigger than our telephone book. I just threw it into the closet and it's been there for years. I just wanted to play music.. not be a drummer.

Hey Dayne... Thank you. I just realized why I keep spending time on band mix. I love you people. We fight like crazy, we insult each other, and even attack the very soul of our reason for spending a word up here.
I just pulled my old guitar off the basement shelf. A very old friend. After I blow the dust off the case I'll let you know if I have the courage to open it again... DAYNE... Thanks for sharing some of your wisdom with a few kind words...

Badstrat... I apologize...
I downloaded all your music you made available. I burned it to CD, and play it all the time. I didn't touch it, re- touch it or change any thing.... FREAKIN AWESOME TALENT... Where do you want me to send the check?

SMILE!

Thanks Glen, now pick up that guitar and record some more of that awesome playing (when you have time)!

here's what "blows"....glen puts up a cool tune and it's not enough to simply give him an "attaboy" and a "welcome back to the world of sharing tunes!"

And that's WHAT I'M GONNA DO RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW.

so, w/o further adieu....nice playing, Glen. and i'm very glad to see you get back to doing something i know you love and are skilled at....playing music.

that said...i always find it sad when musicians stoop to silly competitive back biting, reducing musical prowess and chops to a "contest"....making it all about who is "better"....

.....whose version of a song is better...etc. To me, that smacks of immaturity, and worse when that "competition" aspect is bandied about w the purpose of driving a wedge between the musicians here.

dayne you tried that silliness w jook and i w regards to some chord progression that folks submitted their version of. that was pretty lame and did not have the desired effect of driving a wedge between us. it only showed you to be small, petty, and vindictive.

and now, bringing ME into this when this should be about nothing but GLEN....HIS TUNE.....HIS PLAYING???????? ......that's both sad and weak. shame on you. i'm embarrassed for you.

and Haley...you too? damn, i expect that passive aggressive boo-shit from dayne.....but shame on you for making this about ANYTHING but GLEN.


again....nice work, Glen! please keep them coming. and thanks for being on eof the guys who recognize it AIN'T a contest.

my apologies for taking the conversation sideways to address that silliness, but you know me well enough to know that i'm not just gonna hold my tongue when i have an opinion on something or when someone takes out a their pea shooter to lob a few to stir up $hit.

so you never gave Glen any grief for not having music on his page in the past?.. I never understood why somebody could jump to the conclusion that they are not a musician player simply because they do not choose to reveal everything about themselves.. same goes for Memphis Agent, it will be hilarious the day you find out he is in reality Alice Cooper and was just messing around with you by posting what you consistently say is worthless music of low quality..who are you to judge?
