Where is J Menz???!

[mjames]

This guy is like my favorite poster and so I always watch out for his stuff. I haven't seen him around in months??? Did he quit? Dead? ;(

Same, I *** loved that guy who kept using the wrong "its'"

[chopinlover01]

I checked a while back, his last known post was in July.
I liked him too, shame that he left (which is my guess; however, he didn't seem to tell anyone he was leaving). Hopefully he'll come back at some point.

Same with Michael Sayers. I liked Michael Sayers.

Ohmigod Michael Sayers. DON'T even get me started.

his Chopin op. 28 no. 1

It really takes skill to stretch those last 3-4 measures of the piece to take up 30 seconds...

my comment on YouTube accurately describes his playing

This definitely "so bad it's good." This guy thinks he's Nyiregyhazi (you can clearly see from his other videos) and I think he's trying to out-Busoni Busoni with this "transcription" as well- if you can take it seriously. But clearly he's doing this for the sake of it- from the parts where he plays "normally," you can tell that his technique is not even up for playing a simple Bach Invention (I played this when I was 9? And there are lots of people who've learned it earlier than I did too) Now, what is this guy's "day job??"

oh and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK0OnwJlnvc
Listen to it for 30 seconds. Or don't. If you do, immediately clean out your ears with a reputed recording of the same prelude, preferably that of Lucas Debargue.

I SINCERELY hope that guy is practicing away, with our advice on his Audition Room posts in mind

As for j_menz though, unfortunately, I don't know where he went. I find that a handful of people have quit the forum for various reasons though; e.g. they have other things to do, they are tired of certain types of people, topics, or arguments...

I don't think it's easy to speculate on why a person left a forum, though someone might actually know for a fact "what happened"

[pencilart3]

Yeah. Too bad Themeandvariation, Josh, and AJ left. They were my 3 favorite members.

[birba]

I think people come and go.  Like me.

This is an odd sign if Jmenz is the future me.  I wonder where I've gone.

God, that string of posts in "Last Post Wins"...
