I like dustups with piano players who have an elitist attitude.
Even if it's about 110% of them, I don't think we got enough of 'em keyboard tinkers in here for a good brawl, even if they ganged with the recorder players and that csakan thing :(
Precisely. As I always say, you gotta know how to pick yer battles. Don't want my fingers to get damaged, you know? :wink:

(And I think Bloo should be limited to one post per day - it would be fun to watch him explode trying to decide where to put it.)

The first time that I saw Martin's avitar, I was surfing on my Pocket PC. I thought that my graphics filter was giving me fits... now I see that it's just plain ugly. Well, as janice said, more disturbing than ugly. :)

2. Is she or is she not better-looking than Nigella?

My answers:

1. Caroline
2. No

SO THERE!!!! :twisted: :P :twisted:

I suppose I should explain Martin's avatar, since he changed it as a personal favor to me. I had trouble taking anything he posted seriously as all I could think about were these thoughts arising from a potato. So I asked him to at least put eyes and a mouth on it, so it would be more "realistic." You see the result.

I agee with Redwolf to a point. The brown Susato is ugly. There is no other way to say it. I did the same thing I got one that was in the case and did not take it out before I bought it. I didn't know that Susato made such an ugly color. The only way it could look worse is if you added wood grain to it. It does play wonderfully. It sounds OK but not great. My good Gens sound better. My good LBW sounds better. My good Feadan sounds better. But I don't have any strong opinion.

Hey, we forgot about Mary Bergin! I think she SUCKS!!!

Darn, I'm the line judge, I can't say such things. Why did I have to be the judge Martin? I wanted to be the trouble maker, you know, the guy who comes from the crowd naked and running 'round like a mad chicken?

As long as it's a simple system cello and not one of those infernal boehm cellos.

Well, I've reviewed the footage and Lunasa sucks so much #@$ I wouldn't see em if you paid me! I mean a run-on sentence has better phrasing. Dervish too for that matter and can I get a collective oh hell yeah and $%#@ that the box is the worst instrument out there and the people who play it should be beaten and flogged. I'm just trying to be fair.
No I'm not returning...

Send Lunasa and all Susatos back to France.

And Andrea Corr is not too skinny!

And what about those #&@%!ng flute players? The only way to get one to play in tune is to put the amadán in a room alone.

Oh. Um...
