Wow David H ,that was a big one>>> with your talent I don`t think you even come into equation here.....David S. I was no way offended by the title, just don`t want to live with it for ever!! Reckon none of us use the smileys enough
thas wot there for There are people out there who will not play until its perfect (we all know that) and will shit themselves at the thought of playing a bad note, but I think its a fear we need to overcome ( my incontinense pad is in perfect condition but that don`t mean that I`m not doing my best....I am!! When I look back on the vids of my previous steel meetings one of the best moments recorded was when Baz Gas. dropped a clanger and called for testicles, it was hilarius but IMHO took nothing away from Baz`s great talent, just showed a human side to a great performer.I do think its intimidating to the newbies to only see perfection, I get so many "wall flowers" at my meetings....i say "have you bought your steel" they say "no but I`m gonna bring it next time" BUT WE BOTH KNOW ITS IN THE BOOT.
If I have been "crowned" David
then so be it..... But the newbies have to see both extremes, from David H to JD it gives them something to aim for>>>>>>
