Learning curve? What learning curve?

Post by s1m0n »

The exclamation point at the end of the first sentence in this amazon review must be the most powerful punctuation ever punctuated. It's SO powerful, that this guy went from 'total novice' to 'ITM spirit and zest connoisseur' with nothing but that one mighty exclamation mark to guide him. Bravo!


Celtic Sessions Na Connerys
This is my first time to buy Irish music and I didn't go wrong! The Na Connerys have captured the spirit and zest that is traditional Irish folk music. If you have even the smallest liking of Irish music you can't go wrong with this CD. It is fast bouncy and just plain fun to listen too! So get ready to do some toe tapping and foot stomping!
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Clearly the CD is an education.

Ok, ok...let's give the dude some benefit o'the doot. (that was nice and Irish-like, eh? Expert that I am, and all.)
Maybe he has spent the last 30 years as a roadie with ITM groups and only just bought a cd. Because he never needed one before.
Right? It's plausible. right.

At least his instant taste is not misplaced. :-) Those Na Connerys CDs are nice session style recordings.

There are people who write fake reviews of products just for the fun of it. I read a review of a Bic pen, those orange barrel with the black cap pens that came out in the 70's. There was also a review of basic generic paper clips. I'm surprised none of you folks do this.

"You folks", said the bee to her nestmates. And please. You give us no credit at all. We may appear heedlessly glib, but there's a thing called "hiding in plain sight", too. Not that I'd know anything about that. :wink:

But you're right. I, at least, don't write fake reviews. Now, are you sure you can believe that 100%? :wink:

The great Finbar Furey was once asked why he played so fast....
"Because I can.." was his reply.

I like it fast and furious....

They sound pretty good to me, even if it's fast! :)
