Five favourite Piano Forum members

[mikeyg]

mike, like 75% of your posts seem to be complaining about tds. so how is that not spam?

7/245=.75? ... Almost, but not quite.


EDIT: Fine, I will stop posting complaints.  They don't seem to be accomplishing anything anyway.

[Tash]

since when was i ever approximate with numbers...

well it seems like that cos that's all you tend to do in the threads i read...

[ahmedito]

Well... the guys I most like here are quite obvious, since they are the most helpful and insightful members.

But... there are 3 people here who I just cant STAND! whenever I see another of their posts, I get an uncontrollable urge to punch them in the mouth!

1- The guy who read a couple of filosophy books and now cant post ANYTHING without making some long winded unreadable thing, where he repeats himself 3+ times just saying the same things over and over and over again in some pseudo-intelectual bullshit!

2- The girl who cant post anything without going on about God, her pastor and how all the christians out there are praying for you to
a) go to hell
b) convert

3- The guy who will respond to anything by letting us know how much his life sucks, and how much luckyer than him we all are.

[galonia]

a few of my favourites are:

tash - of course I have to like a fellow UNSW student, and go the tiara!

spatula - come back!!!

tibidi - despite knowing better, I just can't resist reading his posts sometimes!

[Tash]

oh yeah galonia you're a champ, which reminds me, i have looked at the carl vine cantata on the webster building and i have seen it before it's so cool!
oh and just wait til next year if i decide to go switch to b.mus/b.ed- i'll be almost permanently in webster- we'll be like building neighbours hahaha

[galonia]

oh and just wait til next year if i decide to go switch to b.mus/b.ed- i'll be almost permanently in webster- we'll be like building neighbours hahaha

That would be cool, but whatever happens, I'm leaving UNSW on 1st July this year - either with my MStats completed, or just taking the GradDip if bad things happen (i.e. I don't pass my subjects this session).

[Tash]

awwww how sad! well hope you get your Mstats that's really cool!

[janice]

2- The girl who cant post anything without going on about God, her pastor and how all the christians out there are praying for you to
a) go to hell
b) convert

I have NEVER prayed or wished that someone would go to hell!!!!!!!!!  How awful and un-Christian of someone who does that!!!  That's too bad that I'm one of your least favorite people, because you are one of my favorites!! 

[ted]

I find everybody here to be okay. Perhaps it's because I have mellowed with age, but I can't say I have any particular favourites and I can't say I have anything against anyone. I would certainly like to actually hear everyone play - hear what makes them tick musically - perhaps if the suggestion of a place to post recordings comes to fruition this may be possible. 

I think one or two of the ladies of the forum would be great company once they had a few drinks in - underneath their serious exteriors they've already exhibited a delightful sense of humour.

[janice]

Why oh why hasn't anyone mentioned Bob?  OMG!!  He's a hoot!!!!!  I would probably wet my pants if I met him in person and would be as entertaining as he is here!!  I know that Tash thinks Bob rocks!!  Anyone else?  He is my all-time favorite!!!

[joachimf]

BobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBob!   

I've found everyone in every of the few posts I've read so far really helpful and great. Can't wait to get more involved on the forums...

Joachim

[Bob]

(sniffs, clears throat)




eh-hem...









Hoot.

[tds]

BobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBobBob!   

that is almost military sounding to me, a bit like stalone is movie rambo

[tds]

yeah, bob is something else.

oh janice, going by your account on bob, we can legitimately say that bob is the pf pant wetter. lol

[Tash]

oh yeah bob rocks my socks too!
you realise soon enough i'll have the entire forum on my top 5 list

[tds]

you realise soon enough i'll have the entire forum on my top 5 list

oh yeah, and i'll have all the snails, both alive or dead ( cooked, stamped, or else, dont matter ) on mine too. 

[Bob]

I don't really like snails actually.

[pianomann1984]

I don't really like snails actually.

lol...is that y you cooked my millipede? 

[etudes]

[Bob]

The snails cooked the millipede.  Not me.

skeptopotamus

and yes.

[Jacey1973]

I am also quite fond of BoliverAllmon and i've always loved BouterBoogie's name  , plus they both start interesting threads and of course lets not forget 6ft 4.

[BoliverAllmon]

hey another vote for me. I thank you.

[pseudopianist]

5) That crazy woman piano teacher from Romania who didn't believe her students should have fun.

4) That guy from England whose posts are longer than the complete works of Shakespeare.

3) That guy who writes like he thinks he's Ali G, and had one too many meltdowns resulting in him being banned.

2) That idiot about a year or so ago who thought all piano teachers were useless.

1) That wierdo who keeps posting questions and suggestions in the "PF Website" area that no one ever responds to.

 

is u dizzin da comme? he is n alwayz will be 500 times better den u as a pianist.

[Siberian Husky]

impressive. I vote for you also.

[tds]

janice. she is da babe!

[silvaone]

I would have to say, in no particular order:

1. Bernhard - obvious
2. Derek - my blues buddy in crime...... possibly the only one that gives me feedback in my particular area
3. SiberianHusky - common cultures allow us to be bretheren..... plus he stuck up for me and my style, he has my respect

- Silva

[Skeptopotamus]

Jenni R, tds, steinwayguy, pianonut and dazzer

[pianonut]

finally, i am in the running again!  whew.  i thought my pic did me in.  and, after what mikeyg said - was moping around.  that is until nils wouldn't let him talk.  then i started thinking about peace in the world and how it would be if everyone was friendly and didn't swear and never said an unkind word.  then, i started actually missing mikeyg.  sometimes you learn more from your 'enemies.'  not that i would call mikeyg an enemy.  maybe a little psychotic - but certainly unpredictable.  the only thing i know for sure is that he likes heidi klum.  i thought he made up the name or was talking about another heidi (different type).  surprise!  i saw her on tv the other day and was rather struck by her beauty too.  so he has good taste.  now, if he just learns how to talk to girls, he'll be ok.

well, skeptotamus, i'll return the favor (since you let me play the walstein), and mayla, bernhard, bob, ted, contrapunctus (we had a previous other forum lengthy discussion about glen gould) and despite going over five pf'rs, boliver, tds, steinway guy, steinwaytony. i also like jenni because she likes my favorite pianist barry douglas and just heard him play.  and, well, (don't tell anyone) torp because he is an unusual blend of motorcycle, outdoors person - and has a child as well (i think he said so)  and janice a lot lot because she is good humored and spiritual - and well, i can't think of anyone that i dislike on this forum.  thalberg and thalbergmad.  thalburg is articulate, thalbergmad is a bicyclist, too.  of course paris and tash and bouter boogie and galonia, and ... i want to hear koji play but my computer isn't working like it should.  where in the world is lostinindlewonder?  i think his name got to be too long.  he practices a lot too. i know i forgot so many more - but didn't mean to. oh, dazzer, i think you and siberian husky are cool, too.  you both have personality even though one of you gets all the chicks and the other the good looking siberian huskies (they are so cute).  if a guy likes animals and treats them well, he's a good guy.

[steinwayguy]

In no order,

Rach3
Xvimbi
TheHammer (The Beethoven Boy)
Skeptopotamus
SteinwayTony (rival)

and ElectraFingers deserves a special mention for her fantastic recording of the symphonic etudes

[pianojems]

Yikes, its really hard to pick just 5 people. I have many favorite people who are a joy to talk to, and keep me hollering :-)

Some of them are:
Bob
Alraydo
Janice
Lagin
Tds
Siberian Husky

and all the rest of you! I love you all!

[pianonut]

thanks tds!  if only i could hear you play.  i'm still working on a recital i planned to give last spring.  if that tells you anything, you'll know i'm determined.  hopefully it will be spring of 2006.  i'll send you an invitation.  and, maybe get a recording (if it goes well) to post.

[tds]

i would love to come to your recital! whats in the program, pianonut? so, you are working hard on it. i bet its gonna be just amazing.

yeah, i wish i could post things in the audition room.

pianonut, u rock! tds

[Siberian Husky]

[tds]

 sdt .gnitseretni eb d'taht .rehtegot ytrap rebmuls a evah lla dluohs ew...eheh..?lohocla rof

[pianonut]

tds. behave yourself.  (at least that's what i keep telling myself)

why can't you post something in the audition room?  are you completely computer illiterate like me?  or are you shy.  i think you probably play as well as anyone here.  i plan to get the sound guy at wcu to put something on video and then transfer it somehow.  i hope,whatever is done, it is according to the pf standard mp3 recording. i'm doing a little scarlatti, mozart, beethoven, barber, poulenc, i don't know what else.  i want to do a duet of mussorgsky's pic's at an exhibition.  do you want to play the other half?  i still have to send it to somebody that will separate the parts and make it sound decent.  (how much do you think that would cost - to get the whole thing arranged?)

ps was dreaming about 'orchestrating' it myself - and then i realized how hard it would be for two pianists to get the chords together at the beginning of pic at an exhibition.  so, then i imagined pianists alternating the chords.  of course, one pause, a little too long could ruin the effect.  but, oh well.  duets are for the fun of it.  it might just get the audience laughing.

[BoliverAllmon]

if two pianists can't get the chords together then fire the duet. Of all things they should be getting that down.

boliver

[tds]

pianonut,
 
i cant post in the audition room coz my internet connection is extremely slow:(. i play the piano alright, i guess. your program sounds cool. are really playing both mozart and beethoven in one concert? which works?

as to the mussorgsky, you might wanna do a lil research, as i think there might already be a two piano version of it. hehe....we now live too way apart, i think. but i seriously would love to play with you i've played the original version, btw. its such a great concert piece.

hehe, i agree. mussorgsky pictures for two piano can be a laughable thing, if underrehearsed. there are spots that might be exceedingly hard to nail down. aint this piece much about shifting "gear", abit like schumann carnival. warmest, tds

[mikeyg]

Hmm, this is tough.  But I'll list a couple that I thiink are cool.

tds- Leading the "unban mikeyg" movement.  You my dog.
husky- bringing some much needed comic relief to the forum.  You my dog.
lagin- although you thought someone with the name mikeyg was a girl, you're still cool.  Homie.
nat and alraydo *sp-  us New Englanders need to stick together, eh?
paris- you're cute
boliver allimon-  the Texas Slammer.  likes to post in anything but piano almost as mush as me.
Mozartian- Although lord of the rings is a bit dorky, it's pretty cool you can speak elvish.
JCarey- cool cat.  I OWN YOUR FORUMS :p
m1469- foxy


I know I missed a bunch of you, and I'll add more as I think of them.

[mikeyg]

keys- I love you even though you're canadian.

[i_m_robot]
