RE: Asylum Street Spankers looking for musicians
I know I'm a little late in chiming in here, since I was out of the office here, but I couldn't help but add that this part: Would you please go find a life. ... was pretty hysterical given that, for my money, Jon is the best bass player in this area, and regularly anchors the bottom end for three (occasionally four) top-notch bands.

Interested musicians must be incredibly badass. In fact, unless you have chops to burn, don't bother. Gee, and here I thought that feeling would have to be the number one qualification Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/

Interested musicians must be incredibly badass. In fact, unless you have chops to burn, don't bother. Gee, and here I thought that feeling would have to be the number one qualification Would you please go find a life. I have a band in crisis here and I certainly don't need every middle-aged mediocrity's two cents. Unlike you and your ilk, these are world-class players and all the "feeling" in the world is not gonna allow a half-assed player to keep up with this band. Though you might be more interesting if you spent your time doing something other than taking swipes at every post that comes down the pike, you're not nearly as clever as you think you are. So, please tell me what purpose your post serves. It certainly doesn't help me or this great band. What it does is illustrate your sullen smugness and beg the question of why you don't have better things to do. And if you or anyone out there takes issue with my tone, tough. My post set out some pretty stringent qualifications. Unlike Weisberger I don't have time to waste by qualifying everything I say for the consuption of lameasses who can't handle a little direct communication. I'm over here doing things rather than taking shots at people who do things.
Re: Asylum Street Spankers looking for musicians
Someone's gonna have to say it, and better not-Jon than Jon: JP, you completely misconstrued Weisberger's meaning here - it was an inside-joking reference to Jon's long, untiring **defence** of the importance of chops in country (and other) music. In other words, he agrees with you completely. He was kidding, and he wasn't taking a shot at you but at various of his P2 sparring partners (Roy Kasten, call home). Fair enough you didn't get the context (request the P2 archive containing the Freakwater Chronicles for clarification), and by the sounds of it you're under stress right now. But it's boorish, to say the least, to refer to "you and your ilk" when clearly you don't know the first thing about what Jon's ilk might be. I'm always amused when people declare themselves to be above basic social decency. The Superiority Fairy works in mysterious ways. carl w. Reidle: Interested musicians must be incredibly badass.

I love ya, ya hot-headed cajun, but jesus christ, you might wanna think twice before levelling a stream of personal insults at someone over something that you obviously misunderstood. And speaking to the group in general now, please try to be civil when posting to P2 and refrain from hurling insults at your fellow P2ers. It usually only makes *you* look bad, and not your intended target.--don
Re: Asylum Street Spankers looking for musicians
Hey there, Carl to JP JP, you completely misconstrued Weisberger's meaning here - it was an inside-joking reference to Jon's long, untiring **defence** of the importance of chops in country (and other) music. Well, Weisberger's post looked like an insult to me too. Perhaps Jon W should be sure to add g's and in-jokes going on two years old deserve a bit of explanation, ya think? Later...

Having been on the receiving (and delivering) end of a few barbs with the bluegrass nazi (no antisemitic offense, it's trendy), it gets old after a while. I can see JP's POV, and while he was legitimately offended at a questionable post he did see the error in his ways. But nevertheless, when more than one person is over it, maybe it's time to lighten up. JP made an honest request for some P2 help, and while I wanted to send him a private message of support, his apology post inspired me to make a more public statement. I guess I will have to practice what I preach. Slim np - Toni Price "Low Down And Up"
