My observation is that the "regulars" here typically fall into static ways of thinking. And when someone like Lionel comes along, and offers opinions outside many people's comfort zones, there is much emotional distress. Personally, I haven't read all of his posts, but for the ones I've read, I agree with about 80% of what he writes (but certainly haven't read everything).
Further , what some here interpret as "egotistical," to me looks more like confidence. The fact that he speaks from his own considerable life experience, is a plus, not a minus. I feel like if I met him in person, we would have a great conversation.
You posted a quote from Arturo. I really like Arturo. But some of what Lionel has said has been just as useful to me.
Last, I don't see Lionel taking shots at members here.

Jeff I wasn't really trying to take a shot at Lionel, he may be a wonderful player who can do all he says and more. My shot if I took one was about the way he turned every post into the "Lionel" show. I see enough ego tripping on White House coverage! If I had taken a "shot" I would have used a larger caliber - I just sent him a hint!
You are far enough along in your development you probably spot bull**** a mile away, some of are still looking for gems. I try to see what works from every method and the "over-confident" method doesn't work for me.
I thought that the hint was in order. We will have to disagree👌

Rod, it's one thing to disagree - it's another to say that you disagree and yet continue to take shots at another member here (and claim that you are not).
If you have a problem with someone, take it to the system mods. Otherwise, please give it a rest.

We always did summer concerts in the park and on one occasion this young lady and I were going to play a trumpet duet together. He introduced her and said said that she was serving a small Lutheran parish in the area and then when introduced me he said, "this is Brian who many of you know. He had a promising career in music until it was discovered that he couldn't finish any composition because he had to stop at every bar!" That band director passed years ago and that is one of my fondest memories of him. I knew he wouldn't say something like that to embarrass. Lots of people laughed in the audience, too. Small town of 9000, everyone knows ya. Thanks for an interesting topic. |
A gutsy post. Thanks for sharing.

Completely disagree, but opinions are just that, opinions.
And I need to do what I’ve said I planned on doing, stop commenting on things certain people here post; it really doesn’t do much besides take discussions down a negative path, and there’s more than enough negativity in society already.

| Arturo expresses some great attitudes and insights! We are very fortunate to have him share them with us. |

Another good one ... this time, from the late Wes Montgomery:
I never practice the (horn, guitar, etc.). Every once-in-a-while, I open the case and throw in a piece of raw meat.
