I agree that it's mostly the player, but I remain convinced that all instruments do change a little over time as you play them. But it's a very slow and gradual thing, and can have unpredictable consequences, such as a whistle that's always been fine suddenly starting to have an unpleasant burble o...

After a long abstinence from emails and web..... We have the album now for a little over a week. First I had to get used to it, as it seems different to the first 3 albums as it has less of the trance/beat machine arrangements than the other three albums have. Still there are these parts but a lot i...

It sounds very strange to me, that is seems to be alright if someone who buys a T-shirt with a John Lennon song quote "Give peace a chance" gets asked in the same mall he bought it to take it either off or gets thrown out? And as the Reuter reports say, it happened not only to one buyer. P...

I know over there like here and everywhere in the world (even Iraq) live generous and friendly people. Peoples opinions ...

John, catholics and protestants over here do have the 10 commandments so I imagine with these churches it is world wide. I am not that familiar with the splinter Christian churches in America and if the New testament is their basis. As far as someone in front of me wanting to kill me. I hope I will ...

First thanks for your replies to my message, although I must admit I still have not seen an answer to my questions. I am not convinced that my fears are unrealistic and too often I see it pointed out. Reports over the last years from both sides of the pond all did point out the dangers and risks of ...

I have been following both threads and am glad that there are likeminded people here. Maybe I should completely stand out here as I am born in Germany but I see myself as being an "earth citizen" and do my best to be open minded and build my opinions on that behalf by reading, listening an...
