HAHA-you call playing the guitar a business? Seriously, I've been a member of a lot of bands and I've been a leader of a band, and I like being the leader more. I've been in flamenco companies where they want to rehearse endlessly until you hate the music, the dance, etc. Where they want you to show up 2 hours before the show. Or club gigs when you've never met the dancer or singer and don't know what they are going to do. Since there is only so much work in my area, you never get enough to get comfortable in this role. Who needs that kind of stress? And for little to no money. I've also booked gigs for cuardos and hired the other flamenco performers and decided I don't like doing it. Too much BS. I'd rather play jazz fusion, rock, rumba, whatever, and simply call up guys who know the music, need no rehearsal, and just show up and play. At home I play flamenco. So yeah, I've stopped playing flamenco with others. Maybe in the future. Money and being the boss? Hmmmm, are you sure your in the right business? [/quote]

I can see what u guys r saying (rain,crows etc) to a certain point but if it looks like its going to annoy u dont read it. Or if its a certain person u find irritating just press block user button then u wont see any post by them. Keep in mind that what u may not like others may enjoy and vice versa. To try and muffle certain aspects of the forum is contradicting yourself and working against the principles of a forum. I dont think insulting Florian just because he one of the bigger personalities here achieves anything. Rain maybe your angry because you feel your not heard enough. All u have to do is speak up more often (i hope u do)and if your too shy to do that, just sit back and enjoy . Dont take your frustrations out on other members because u feel negleted. As with everything in life, u have to reach out a grab it, not expect eveything to be handed to u on silver platter. When reading Flo's humour, or anyones humour here it can be seen as childish. If u spent a bit of time with Florian u would realise that hes just a hell of a funny guy. How he is here on the forum is exactly how he is in real life, at least there no BS false pretences. You cant take life or yourself too seriously otherwise u would go crazy, laughter is necessary to keep sane IMO.
