| The truest country music and steel guitar fans, are found here on this forum. They write, they play steel guitar, and appear to be quite motivated by the acts of others. It's always a special treat to read accounts given by those who have been recognized for their wit and musical abilities. It is a generous endeavor, to enable others to develop similar goals, that may lead to better musical approaches. Music and motivations have no boundaries. The intricacies of talents, produces wide ranges of determined excellence, in the study of steel guitars. |

| The time comes when each escarpment must be transcended without the aid of others. Brushing aside each negative issue, is my main goal. A broken spirit or allowing positive thinking to slip away, hinders the prospect of musical development. |

| Becoming a writing wallah isn't difficult. The first step, from a logical point of view, and one of certainty, is to banish ignorance. It isn't easy for some who find it too troublesome to chase after a dust covered dictionary. It's as if it weighed 5 tons, and too heavy to manage. Then there are those who oppose! I've been in situations where an argument over a correct definition ensued, and the argumentative party became more bullheaded, by refusing to consult Webster. The wisest thing at that point, is to do a 180 degree turn, turn a deaf ear, and find something more productive to do that may be of benefit. Giving up too easily while "trying" to work up a good arrangement of a melody, is another piece of nonsense. Common sense should dictate similar thoughts that convey the message, if he or she can do it, I can do it! How's that for apples? |
