[Harp-L] Re: Get a career!

[Robert Coble <robertpcoble@xxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

No offense intended to you nor to anyone else. My statement was a 
generalization,
which you will realize if you reread my post. I wasn't addressing YOU 
personally or
specifically. I WAS suggesting that there might be a more innocent 
explanation for
the young lady's remark - in other words, maybe she wasn't trying to 
disrespect you,
maybe her short life's experience had only been that "musician" was not 
a career.

Nowhere in my post did I infer or state that YOU did not respect your 
fans, customers,
or audiences. It seemed obvious to me that you were upset by her lack 
of knowledge of
what it takes to be a professional musician. I have nothing but 
admiration for anyone
with the guts to stake out a professional life in one of the hardest 
career fields that
I know of. I think I stated that previously (or at least, I tried to do 
so).

Again, no offense to you or anyone else. It was simply an attempt to 
provide an alternative
explanation for what seemed like a really rude and ignorant remark by 
the inebriated
young lady. Or, it could have just been the booze...who knows?!?

All the best to YOU, Michael! I wish you every success in your career!
Crazy ('bout harp!) Bob
