I say this in all seriousness: this is about the craziest thing I have ever heard of that someone could request their own banning and that a moderator would meet this request. RB, I was fulling prepared to ask for my own banning as a sacrificial atonement for your banning to bring you back to life in this forum. I'm serious.

You notice I was here in your moment of need and a certain Dutchman was not.

Originally posted by kirksey957 Do you doubt my sincerity in offering to ban myself as a sacrifical atonement for RBHill's ban to him back to life on the site?
I didn't even consider thinking about your offer or your sincerity as such. It is all rather "virtual", don't you think ?
Originally posted by Bosse de Nage It's the cheapest way for me to get music around here. Sounds great too.
Yeah. CD:s made the sound too clean. It's not as real anymore as it used to be. I remember my last LP/EP player (or whatever it's called in english). It was old and weary but I could still listen to my old albums and enjoy the scrapy sound of them. If there was a scratch in them I just... scratch in them I just... scratch in them [bam] ... which was always a good thing.

Yes and no. The quality of vinyl pressings in South Africa was abysmal when I was growing up; now I can get hold of good quality vinyl in specialist record shops. It's got to the stage where I'm buying vinyl copies of things I already have on cd...

YES! That's it. Vinyl. Where was the word when I needed it. I looked through my entire mental warehouse of words, and it just wasn't there. Thanks, Bosse.
Too bad about the quality of vinyl back in the days when you were young. But you should be glad you can get better quality vinyl records now. Always look on the bright siide of life. whissling-whissling-whissling. Always look on the... on the... on the... [bam] !

If you want it as real as possible, just go and play or sing yourself. 🙂 We played some fun stuff at Christmas this year (no wait, last year), for example some organ chorals by Bach which my brother transcribed for the instruments we had available. Of course that's religious music, so I guess FreakyKBH would call me a hypocrite for playing it.

My oldest kid brought a questionaire from school testing their music history background. Several of her friends were with her and I tried to help them with this and also instill some interest. I was appalled that her young friends have never heard any Bach. I played some that I thought would be familiar and part of the consciousness of their brains. No luck. Not the slightest bit of interest. My daughter said I embarrassed her.
We've got a damn generation of idiots coming up. I'm sure they're all crying that Kenny Chesny broke up with Renee Zellwanger.
