   Well, it's almost time for me start making snowshoes. I make a laminatedd frame and lace it with rabbit sinew, then I dip it in resin. Make my bindings outta whatever I can find. Leather, hemp, nylon...used bailing wire once. He he...was all i had. Oh crudcakes! I thought this was my Facebook wall. (wink@Joey)

   Philip,
   Thank you. You're cool too.
   I'm not out of the closet about piano playing on this board. Some day...then I'd stop posting, probably.
   I say things here that I could not say in an interview.
   I've recorded, and people tell me they've seen (pirated) performances on–?–youtube?–but I don't run watch them.
   When I've played a performance, it's over, and I never hear it again.
   A recording is totally different.

   Philip,
   What did you think that pianists "were?"
   (Besides, I know, gay.)

   Isn't that true of most Artist Joey? When the work is done (close the book and put it down) it's done.

   No, Jazzzzzzz.
   Some guys listen and pick at problems, study...brag...
   I've done it when I stop. I can always tell you everything I didn't like, from memory. I don't want to hear the performance again. I'm on to the next one.
   (I've already studied enough–years ago.)

    See ya Joey. (i posted another biggie reply but it didn't go thru) I was refering to your "I hear silence" comment and what I was saying is that I thought pianists were known for their patience. But I thought about it for a sec. and didn't finish. Sorry for the mixup. And i admire your approach to music Joey. It will make your great(er)! c-ya

    @Philip: you're all over the gay thing again. Guys who are in prison get rayped everyday, Philip, and you either submit, or face the consequences. The consequences being you will be forcibly gang rayped. These guys didn't go in gay, and if ever released, they live a gay lifestyle, either. A boy who was forced by a priest doesn't automatically become gay. A boy who was rayped by his father doesn't automatically become gay. Your statistics are from anti-gay and anti-catholic websites with an agenda. I just wish I could figure out what YOUR agenda is. Whatever it is, it's not healthy and you need to see someone with your fixation of gay people. I noticed that you state quite emphatically that you are hetero all the way. That's what people always say when they're trying to deny their gay tendencies. I think you protest too much to be credible.

    I love to play classical piano. I'm thankful everyday at the ability to read music, write music and play music. Its very relaxing.
