I have two bootlegs, and on both of them every time Ms Amos starts to hit a key or starts to exhale or starts to sing or starts something to say (or...) the audience gets wild and claps. I hate that, and i was afraid this would happen when i would see Ms Amos too, but luckily the audience was quite silent (at the right times). >>I invited them to come and dance with us here tonight, because I >>think people who are murdered need a place to dance..."

Please tell me (privatelly?) why it cuts _you_ closer to the bone. [Maybe it cuts closer to my bones too (this doesn't matter), but i try to relativate that feeling, otherwise i would act hypocrite.] >She's not afraid to say that she's not a guitar player (or a >pan-flute player, or a xylophone player) -- she's a piano player. >Keyboards are her life.

A gifted musician is someone who can play anything on the instrument, which they 'control' [correct word?] totally, unesteemed selfwritten or given (1) or someone who can play several (sorts of) instruments, and who can pick up all of the other instruments with relativly less training, someone who can write good of themselves (2). ::: It's not easy to explain, my vocabulary is a little limited, but what i meant is this: [where * to **** = rate of skills; and 1 to 13 = different instruments] a gifted musician (1): **** -- -- *** ** * -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 a gifted musician (2): **** -- *** -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ** -- -- * -- -- -- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ::: I think Ms Amos belongs to the first category. I prefer the second, the most breadth one. ::: Take care, Sis. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Het Elfde Gebod: Gij Zult Genieten." - biermerk (wat anders?) *********************************************************************** email: sisterra@pi.net Sister Ray Headqtrs. or email: sisterra@mediaport.org (<20kB) url website: http://mediaport.org/~sisterra - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SCENE! *********************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of precious-things-digest V1 #38 ************************************
