NEVEAH!!!!! Just kidding. I would like to add my usual caveat, (I love that word) that I like to do from time to time. One of the problems I have with a lot of instrumentals, particularly jazz is the lack of a central theme. Many jazz pieces to me are simply extended solos.
Having said so I remembered a group I used to like a lot and that was a band called the Dixie Dregs. They were a 70's/80's band that did all instrumentals that were kind of electric rock fusion, that was VERY cool. I also liked some of the bands like Kansas that did a lot of classical themed stuff. So yes, I have liked instrumentals to a degree.
I am afraid over the years I personally have developed the short attention span most consumers have now. So if there is not some lyrics that keep my attention I am likely to tune it out. The last couple of days I have posted a lot here because I am dismanteling my house and moving so I have had some time while waiting on people that are coming by to buy my furniture. I type pretty fast so I post a lot of this pretty quick.
So I don't mean any disrespect in my comments to you music-type dudes and dudettes. As a matter of fact, since I deal with about 80% of writers that are lyric only people (That drives me nuts too) I wish I could find more of you for setting up co-writes for my clients. Outside of that they have to put up with my limited musical abilities.
