Well, I think we all agree. The problem is that what is "small stuff" to one person isn't "small stuff" to another. And vice versa. Etcetera. I'm not trying to get into a grump-off. I already got into enough trouble this week, thanks. :lol:

Let's have a grump-off then, shall we?

My turn then. . . I hate it when people come to an ITM session and play French Canadian music for an hour. That, that really twists my knickers, I tell you.

Okay, Cursor, your turn. . .

:D

Are you saying you're a bigger curmudgeon than me? Why, I outta! Alright, I hate it when we're jamming outside and somebody drives by with that RAP bass bouncing the very trees. In fact these kids these days with their hats on backwards have no respect and should GET OFF MY LAWN.

Hey Mark, you're not from the Tidewater are you?
I'm no longer trying a new posting paradigm

Okay, you win. . . I can't out do that.

Tidewater? Nope, Charlottesville. The bullseye of Virginia.

I'm sorry but SONGS HAVE FECKIN' WORDS!!!! Reels, jigs, polkas, slides, etc., with a few exceptions, DO NOT. They're TUNES!!!! TUNES I TELL YOU!!!!!!

THEY'RE NOT SONGS!!!!:swear:

And if your playing the tune of a song on your flute. . . IT'S AN AIR!!!!! FLUTES DON'T SPEAK WORDS!!!!!!!

THEY'RE NOT SONGS ANYMORE!!!

AAAAAARGGHGHGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!:swear:

Okay, I feel a little better now. You may now return to your regularly scheduled Chiff and Fipple stuff. Sorry. I'll be making an appointment with my therapist in the morning.:oops:

Oh jeesh. Not this shait again. So if I'm playing Bolling's Baroque & Blue on the flute that's an air? What about Stardust?

I don't mind people making a distinction between song's and tunes if that floats their boat but these hissy fits and "airs" of self righteous superiority are ridiculous. Be sure to remind me to always use the word "song" just to see who's going to cry like a baby.
It's been a long time, but isn't "Baroque & Blue" in 3/4 like a fast waltz?
