The difference between my post and yours Sir, is that I never mean to come off like an *** and have nothing but the best intentions.

I did indeed mean to come off like an ***, or at least as a parody of one. I take you at your word about your intentions. May I suggest you look over your writing style to avoid mistaken impressions?

Being that you are going to be 74 (Happy Birthday), perhaps YOU might enlighten us with some transcriptions or an upload of your incredible flamenco guitar playing.

I am dipping my toe into the water of playing again. I essentially laid off for about three years due to numbness in 3 and 4 of the left hand, caused by a pinched nerve in the neck from an old motorcycle wreck.

Now that I am retired, I have gone back to the lower saddle on my best blanca, and I'm trying a few scales and a little rasgueado work. It remains to be seen whether 4 will have enough sensation to work right, but I'm going ahead as though it will.

Also I just got Jerry Willard's new book of easy Renaissance pieces for classical. Easy but excellent music.

The last transcription I did was of a Niño Ricardo Zambra, I ran across an accurate one of the same piece by Paul Magnussen, nicely done in engraving software. I think you would like it better than my pencilled version.

Thank you for the birthday wish.

All the best,

RNJ

Goddamn.

I thought this was a FORUM; a place where discussions can take place and knowledge can be shared.

Now I remember why I only visit occasionally.

Guess I'll try and read that French book...infinitely more productive than being bombarded by...

I meant to be a bit offensive to make my point, but I hope I didn't annoy you enough to leave the forum for any length of time. You have posted some interesting stuff in the past, and I hope you will continue.

You see, we old farts take it pretty ill to be talked down to. We're not used to it. It seemed to me that was happening. You say you didn't mean it, and I take you at your word.
