And IMHO, Sundance has the most mature & balanced response in the whole thread.....good job!


yep, Josie usually manages to offer a rational summary of just about any discussion

BTW, for the record by "pretty and unique" I'm speaking of voice quality not looks....just to be perfectly clear in case I wasn't. LOL!



Josie, given my followup comments about where confidence comes from, I'd have to agree that It looks as though I interpreted the "pretty and unique" part of your post to mean physically pretty... but I didn't read it that way. I try to judge peoples comments by what I know about them, and it would be out of character for you to say something like that. However, I DID consider that your appearance probably is a source of confidence, whether you would say so or not.

Right now I'm not really up for any debate on the meaning of performance as I just cleaned up a huge mess from accidentally bumping the wastebasket which fell over causing a large pickle jar 3/4 full of pickle juice to propell itself and come rolling out breaking on the floor sending stinky sticky pickle juice all over..... And of course this could've been much less messy had someone emptied said jar before placing it in the garbage. LOL!



Please accept my apology if I turned this into a debate... that was not my intent. I hate that you had to clean up a physical mess after spending time unravelling this ideological mess. (Sticky pickle juice has to be about the worst thing to spill.).

I wish I'd adopted that approach YEARS ago. There would have been tons of songs recorded instead of lyric sheets and memories of melodies I've written.

Don't let anyone dissuade you from using the tools available to you. And don't wait until you understand ALL those tools to lay down tracks.



Bob, you've already accomplished far more than I ever will.
And for the record, I'm still in the stage of accumulating confidence. I don't have a lot to show for it yet. Perhaps if I still care about any of this after my wife dies later this year, I may finally start to snap the legos together. Until then, I don't want to get occupied with anything that takes me away from her.
