Clayton Whetmore, there, wrote: I'm curious...can you play the piano with such ease as Dino Kartsonakis? Can you play the sax as well as Kenny G? Have you, like Michael Bolton, sold over 52 million albums and singles worldwide, and won two Grammys and six American Music Awards among many other accolades.
<shrugging> I suppose it's easy to look down our noses, from high atop ivory towers, at these supposedly poor specimens of musicians <tongue in cheek>. But, if one is honest with oneself, one must admit that they've accomplished something most of us have not! Now, I am finally agreeing again at long last with someone on this mostly sophomoric of lists (of course if this list is sophomoric that Yahoo list is freshmanic or sophomoronic at best) because Clayton has with the mostest of correctiles pointed out that, yes, no one on this list can play the piano like Dino, or the Sax like Kenny G. and no one, I mean, no one on this list is ever going to sell 52 million albums and singles (but I know that Prof. H.P. has sold 52 albums and I don't know about singles, but he use to consume in his party days 52 doubles) like Michael Bolton and most of the students on this list, judging by their mostestest egotisticals of writings to us from their safe ivory towers at their universities think that if they make the practicings of concertos and the rehearsals or symphonies and wind ensembles and the sloppings through of their excerpts with their bad rhythms, wrong notes, sloppy dynamics, out of tunes and ass-tone sounds that someday they may play the horn as well as Kenny B. or even the right-handed E flat Wagner Tube as well as moi and make some kind of living at it performing in public and/or teaching others how to play when in reallity they can't even play KOPPRASCH NUMBER ONE with a good sound, correct rhythm, secure and in tune notes and proper, musical dynamics!!!
