GREAT thread Mike D

Makes total sense to me.

I also feel that anyone can like the abilities or what ever an artist or writer has to offer that's the beauty of it all.
It's not judging it's just an observation and distinction.

When I was playing on Gloria Estefan's song I didn't think for a second "okay she's a B talent" but I'll do this anyway lol
I loved it and was thrilled. I actually used that A/B as a fast way to explain something to someone The person I explained it to didn't have either A or B talents now they realize it and I NEVER hurt there feelings.

I could care less what the world wants to listen to and emulate.
Kids want to be COOL more than ANYTHING in the world. Being cool means TOTALLY being accepted. That is why they LOVE rap & hip hop. Just like they did Rock years ago.

Regardless of what the industry or scene is. I will continue to personally emulate what I feel takes discipline and hard work.
I much admire the skills required to program songs and it takes work but it takes a hundred more times work to learn to be a good violin player. As long as musical instruments exist in our world I will associate myself with them.
I'll keep trying to improve my songwriting my guitar & bass playing, my drumming, my piano and vocals, producing & engineering.
Continue to try and improve on the many many holes I have in my game.
