Harpo is above Zeppo

shit. a week later and this thread is still raging on. i see "bela" or "marissa" in the new answers, and it makes me wanna break something...

Ken Taylor, Maybe if this bothers you
you shouldn't be checking it out.
I'm one who's confident in my music and ideas.
Knowing when a instrument surely is above an other.
So bass and bangos can be equals in sheer noise
but kuzu needs an amp.
Anyway Ken there are some people on this thread
would coudl really use a stop. I think you might
be one because do you really love Music (i.e. ILM?)
or are you here to police us.
Marissa is gone for the afternoon and it is mostly
admirers here who are waiting for her return.
This is the last thread how could it not be. We
are making these sentinments final because it must be
...
Google has the control that we musicians should take
back. if it were Marissa in control, I think people
would value music in top forms, but instead it is
the downloadin' pirates and men who have the biggest
grip.
Marissa if you can come back any time I would like
to do an interview
We will be casual dont worry.
to KEN
the lies have ended here .
please take your lies somewhere else.

oh, i'm not here to police anybody. i'm just shocked that the thread's still going on, and yeah, i recognize my contributions aren't exactly putting it to an end any sooner. carry on as you were. i'm just gonna go smash a vase now...

herbie works for the flecktones.

another fan of bela ...
but flamenco guitarist have virtuoso technique that is mind blowing.
the guitar is a much more difficult instrument to master then a bango. And the people in this country should realize that flamenco guitarist are some of the finest ...astounding talents our world has to offer. Edgar might be a nice guy who likes his friend. But Edgar knows and should admit that the bass is harder to master.
..then bango..and the reason is how the instrument has evolved from being primitive to being a sopisticated instrument that you can manipulate in sophisticated ways. The bango is not something that you can manipulate in as many creative ways and Edgar knows it deep down inside. The voices is a more difficult instrument to master. one of my voice teachers was a phenomenal musician. she played the bassoon. Then she took up opera.
She was excellent at piano.
she admitted that voice is more difficult to master then any other instrument she had played.
If anyone has common sense they would know that Bango lacks pathos.
..and sophistication.
anyone who could listen back to back with a virtuoso bango player and a flamenco guitarists...knows the difference.
Anyone who knows music would know this.
There are no virtuoso guitarist that any major labels are promoting.
The guitar is a much more sophisticated and evolved instrument.
I think that there are many people who graduate music school and play like an astounding technician, and they play like you wouldn't believe. But the difference is in the passion.
Poor Edgar, he needs the money so badly.He will say anything. It is difficult for this man to make a living. He will say anything to survive. what he truly believe deep down, is exactly what I am saying. I claims to believe anything else, I wouldn't believe him.

BANJO!!!!!

― Edward Bax (EdBax), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

The banjo is a percussion instrument.

Check out the Monks' album "Black Monk Time"

Oh, and that line...

"I said that I loved you to be polite."

.. belongs in your next song, Marissa!

The oud is better than the guitar.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

I love acoustic drums.
I also think that Drums of many different kinds are superior instruments. great drummers are very difficult to find. Drumming is a true artform

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:49 (twenty years ago)

I said I loved you to be polite...it seems to have struck a chord.lol.
great percussionist play more then one instrument. they study many percussive instruments, not just one.
this is truly a wonderful artform. There are many instruments out there. I prefer the ones that posess unusual beauty.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:51 (twenty years ago)

I really like Zitar.
Real Zitar.
Greek Bouzouki is a gorgeous instrumemt.
Chinese Gu Zheng is a stunning. Liu Fang is a virtuoso.
She is also writing music ...
she is playing on a fabulous level. I am planning on recording more advanced level singing.
I want to record very advanced Bel Canto singing. These people talk down to me. and Edgar Meyer is another phony from Curtis who doesn't encourage people.
does Edgar know what kind of level I am on as a vocalist?
No.
he doesn't know me, and doesn't give a damn. he is just teaching to make money and HE also doesn't encourage people and then projects his demeaning attitude upon me...when he is sooo snotty, that he can't encourage people? does he know how difficult it is to be doing what I do?
He thinks singing is something you just roll out of bed and do...
If Bela was astounding? ..who come he thinks that working with some foul vocalist is cool?
And can't Edgar tell the difference between voices? does Edgar believe that every voice is created equal?>
Some people say that Eminen is the same as Elvis.
If Edgar thinks that technique is everything, then he would probably think someone who didn't have a beautiful voice is great if they are extremely great technicians? it is good to have both.
If Edgar feel that being a great technicians is the same as being a great musicians, then this means that machine-like playing is adequate?
no?
I don't think Bango is worthless. but it isn't worth ignoring the rest of the musicial world and focusing on , year in year out.
not by itself.
Bango is also superior to the ukulaili..spelling?
does Edgar and Bela feel that any women are Astounding?
No.
who are these people?
why would someone be interested in bela romantically?
he is not romantic. the hip hop song with the beverly hillybillies wasn't getting me excited. A woman like myself would not find this sort of thing romantically interesting.
And why does Edgar feel that rap and hip hop mixed with the beverly hillbillies ...why does he feel this is astounding?
Edgar shouldn't be working at Curtis Institute if he feels this way. people like Bela should be boycotted. ..and not accepted by pseudo intellects of Curtis institute.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Edgar have sopisticated instrument
Edgar have sopisticated ways
Modern men have no technique
They stare at me for days

Edgar, he needs the money so bad
He will kiss Bela on his ass
This bass man look so baseless
His nimble finger all he has

[next verse yours]

"This thread needs footnotes."

and seemingly a table of contents, and index.
complete with easy reference vocab @ the end, so you can follow along...

Edgar Meyer is another phony from Curtis who doesn't encourage people.

This, uh, Curtis you speak of. Is this a planet?

Question? Does Bela own artwork? Does Edgar collect artwork?
fine ART?
wHAT ARE their aethetic valueS?
i am planning on buying a sewing machine because the clothes in the stores look mostly rags and I can't afford 300 dollar shirts.
not unless they are marked down.
I used to do fashion illustration for fun ....
I draw...
I love clothes.
My voice teacher from Curtis bought a lexus with the money I gave her for lessons...
she had a nice house, with nothing artistic in it...no painting of value...no illustration and nothing artistic.
I make a bet Bela would rather buy a motorcycle then a painting on the wall?
I really like motorcycles.I prefer horses...
but if these people are astounding they would have aethetic interests outside of music.
At least Crispin heads off in different directions. As an Actor is a great comic...and a great serious actor, an author of numbers of books written on a high level, he is very articultate, and a musician....
and made his own movie too.
At least he has other interests in the arts.
What are there interests outside of music?
fishing, hunting, surfing, rocking in the rocking chair?
what?
I like scarves. I want to sew them. I made a whole futon cover of velvet and some really cool fabric...and planning on making arm rests...
I made my own coach cover..and I put iridescent fabric around one velvet chair, and iridescent bows also...I have some money but not alot..I spend any extra money, which is not alot on paintings and beautiful frames...
I don't have alot of money..but I am into art.
My coach is black...
and the other chairs are blue...
it doesn't look like a regular living room...I have painting all decoratives things all over the walls...
etc....
I make a bet Bela's house is standard.
bland.
I don't know shit about bela?
I don't have to, it is easy to figure out. I am artist and is a standard guy..nothing wrong with him.
He is just standard for the american public.
Above ordinary in some ways...
that is about it...
I don't know anything about many other people on this board...

there are very interesting people posting on this board. very clever people.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

t- Curtis Institute of Music is the institution that Leonard Bernstein quit ...so he could write Candide, and west side story etc....
I never went to a led zepplin concert by the way, I have downloaded videos of their juiced up and exciting performances.
Curtis institute has its good and its bad.

― marissa marchant-, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Banjo is spelled with a "j".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

aesthetic ... I spelling it wrong ...sorry.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

bluegrass girls have no artist
they like what bela does
they listen to his bango
not caring what art was

― ryansf (ryansf), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

I am in a rush today. I meant, I spelled it incorrectly. aesthetic .

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

I am artist and is a standard guy..nothing wrong with him

marissa otm!!!

sorry about this. I need to slow down. I type very quickly.
"I am an artist, and Bela is a standard american male. He is above average, but standard."

Marissa, do you like Prince's 'Batman' album?
I think it's highly underrated.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

aesthetic values, yes, my teacher from Curtis was always talking about name brands..raked in the money and she was a good musician, but had no interest in art, paintings, great theatre or literature.
this is a teacher from one of the finest music schools.
she was snobby, elistist, unsupportive and abusive of not only me but of other students. I knew her other students and some of them never spoke to her again.
she was very conceited about her title and raking in money.
I put up with being demeaned. the woman was mean to people.
Edgar works for the same elitist institution and he too is not a nice person, and looks down on artists who are struggling. All he cares about is money, status and fame.
Edgar Meyer would be kiss my feet if I were mega famous right now, call me astounding, especially if I were a man.
Edgar likes to be on the 'in' circles where the money is, he doesn't give a damn about art.
Either did my fake teacher. She cared about her money she was raking in.
I paid for her Lexus and her other students paid for her BMW and she trashed all over people because of the Name curtis...was it worth it?

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:06 (twenty years ago)

I know nothing aBOUT Prince.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:07 (twenty years ago)

I don't know everything about Curtis but I know that when I attended concerts there, there were no composers of worth, at least what they were playing. It was all atonal trash.
this is pseudo intellects at it's finest. My voice teacher was a pretentious phony and so is Edgar Meyer.
Curtis Institute puts out some excellent classical artists, but most of them are haughty, one dimentional, and they can't write. Leonard Bernstein knew Curtis would not help him become a composer.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

marissa,

I was visiting a friend in Louisiana and we won a radio contest that gave us tickets to a Bela Fleck show. We did not go. I am wondering, are you using "Bela" as metonymy, using his name to refer to all standard american males? If not, I have absolutely no clue what you're going on about unless you have some bizarre attachment to him. Seriously, drop this Bela stuff, it's getting old. I'm sure you'd agree. You shouldn't be bound to comparisons to other artists, let alone standard american male ones.

If I've learned anything from reading your words, it is that you are incomparable and possibly using the English language in a completely different way than I am. Or any other human being. We normally aggregate thoughts into sentences and follow them with more sentences that expound upon and explain these thoughts. You're playing some sort of hopscotch where you make vague references and change topics at the turn of a line. This is acceptable in lyricism where it may seem cryptic or poetic, but it definitely has drawbacks in standard communication.

I can't change my face into a heart.

this man died a pourper. His talent was really great. Kay Neilson, he was Danish.

I love the unique style ...
I would love to buy some prints of this and put this on my walls.

You could learn a lot from a pourper.

Bango, that is how most people enter the entertainment industry isn't it? sometimes they hire a whole band and call it, gang bango.

not sure how that happened..lol ahahhaha.
it was supposed to be another photo...
the pig loves diving into the pond ahahahhah.

this was done by the great Adrienne Segur who is also not alive.
This photo reminds me of bands that I like. a band like Kornog with Bouzouki, violin and flutes, guitar, has this haunting sound. I love it.
Adrienne Segur is another fantastic artist.

― marissa -marchant, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:45 (twenty years ago)

even though these artists are not alive ..I suppose art passions makes sure you can't post their art anywhere on boards like this one.

masrissa can i get your sister email why because she look intersting

― NAthaniel, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

If this was really bela who posted that he doesn't like people who aren't making alot of money, this means that he doesn't like every unsigned artist, composer, author, or fine artist.

this means that Bela doesn't really care about art and is worship the MTV.
This man needs to be boycotted.
