Chula, I think the real difference is the assumptions we make on Frown's intent.

1. I didn't backpedal.
2. Yes, my words do speak for themselves, so why don't you respect that as much as your assumptions? Like how I said "No" when asked if I had melodic chops like Pass.

Using your piano analogy, I can get close to Picasso sometimes. I can get close to Tom Brady sometimes. I can get close to Cormac McCarthy sometimes. Etc.

I don't think that any of those guys play piano.

Q: Are you able to play melodic chops like Joe Pass?

A: Nope, but I get close sometimes.

Q: Is that like Chula getting close to McLaughlin?

A: Close like 7 is close to 10.

Reading comprehension is really not that hard.

It's apparently a lot harder than cherrypicking and ignoring valid points because you think the person you're talking to is a big meanie.

It's put through a filter of many other styles so it can be hard to hear but tracks like Kerensa have soloing elements that demonstrate how Pass has influenced me.

Are you insinuating that I'm a sellout?

You don't seem to understand the music nor do you seem to want to, so let me know when you want to have a big boy conversation instead of being so dismissive. Chula angreeing with you is not a good sign btw.

Did you just create a new word? I like it!

Frown, you and Chula should try to make a resolution for 2018 to spread your rivalry into every single major thread. It would not be that hard, though it might be a little boring for the rest of us.

Seriously, why can't you two just see each other at funerals and weddings and leave it at that? One of you be the bigger man and step back maybe?

I doubt anyone believes that any of your gigs would ever be sellouts!
