[Harp-L] Re: An accomplishment

[David Fertig <drfertig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, now,  Christelle is no more idiosyncratic than many of us, another issue perhaps but my point is don't confuse the artist with the art, one may listen to her music and ignore  her musings, or be amused by them, although that may seem a bit cruel...but when  one bares one's soul and sensitivity one must accept a few slings and arrows, real or perceived.  And move on, as Christelle will do, she will grow and evolve, if she (and we) gives herself  a chance. "Time heals all wounds, and wounds all heels."

I just listen to the music y'all play, I don't need no heros or monsters in my musicians, just fun, maybe a little magic.

Ok, a lot of magic, as our dear departed Norton Buffalo has shown.

                Not sure if everyone knows, yet...but it seems Ms. Berthon came in 2nd at  
Trossingen. Quite an accomplishment by any harmonica player's standards. I'd 
 guess 75% or better of the players here would be ecstatic by placing 2nd.
 
However, it seems it wasn't a good enough placement for her. She's very  
upset and stating that she isn't going to play for a long time now due to her  
anger at the judges  denying her what she seems to believe was her  first 
place win - and tells her fans they should blame the judges  (and even write 
to them to complain about being deprived of her music) - or am I  
misunderstanding what's written in the margin? (click on 'more info'  there).

The judges were: Joe Filisko, Jerry Portnoy, Carlos del Junco, 'Marcos' and 
 'Henry'. She also expresses her disgruntledness over JJMilteau never  
telling her she was a good musician.
 
I give up. I've decided that for me, personally...the continuing drama  
isn't worth spending further time watching any videos she might post in the  
future even though I was once a big fan of her playing. So I'm done and  am 
cancelling my subscription to her YouTubes.
