OK, I don't want to start a flame-fest. But in all fairness, I have NEVER seen Walter in anyone else's thread but his own. I commented on a few of his songs at first a couple of years ago. But, then I stopped listening when I noticed that A) They're all the same song. B) He never commented on anyone else's songs.

The "ignoring" goes both ways.

I agree 100% with this. I throw him a bone and listen every now and then though because he's truly in his own fucking world and doesn't seem to give a shit about anything or anyone else, and I can totally dig that.

Yo go Walter. Make a million more. Make a spontaneous song about what a douchecock chris harris is. :D

Yes. I was really only repsonding to Chris's mention of everyone ignoring him, so I didn't want to make my post too long.

But I was going to say that I have no problem with Wally. He doesn't pretend to give a shit about anything but his own music and that's cool. I'm always amused when, every few days, I see his thread back at the top of the page because he just posted the 52 new "songs" he recorded on the way to the bathroom after breakfast. :cool:
 
I clicked on three of his links at a rate of 120bpm. they opened up in three separate tabs. I could only hear playing was one song playing. But it was three times as loud.
 
I mean no offense by not responding to others songs. I don't ask anyone to listen to my songs. I share my music with the world for free and ask nothing in return. I am driven to play in just about all my free time. Most of my posts like these are while songs are being converted to wave and mp3 files. Next thing I know it is time to go to bed and then time to get up for work, come home, then I record, go to bed............ My wife of 31 years is use to my way of life. Also my recording computer is not hooked to the net and my other pc next to it, that I use to load mp3's to soundclick and these forums is, but has no speakers and the crap soundcard or whatever it is that plays music, sounds so bad it hurts my ears to listen to any kind of music when I hook my headphones up. People close to me say I am autistic like with my obsession. I really enjoy playing simple beats and they never seem to get stale so why think out the process to learn new ones? I can play more complicated ones but they don't hold my interest because they make me think. I have played with and had in my band, some of the biggest names in rock and blues. But as my journey into spontobeat continues I find myself no longer attracted to doing the regular approach to music. thus the 1 man band arrived out of the blue. My music takes me to being actually in the story I am singing about. It is like I live a good part of my days in different universes/realities. It is very addicting and uses up all my time with the playing, recording mixing, posting songs. I don't even listen to my favorite blues guys anymore, or own a stereo system. thinking is the one thing music takes me away from the way I do it and I need this or will lose my mind. Peace to all and follow your dreams! Walter

oh bullshit.

I do think you do the blues thing very well but you're far too self-agrandizing.
Your songs aren't, musically, nearly as spontaneous as you continuously trumpet them to be and you continue to talk about all these big names you've played with.
Meanwhile you also talk about how you don't seem to be getting gigs.
The reason you have declining gigs is that all your songs sound the same and people get tired of that. It's boring.

If that's what makes you happy then that's what you should continue to do ....... and I'll make a point to not comment further because you seem to be a good guy and, like RAMI, I don't see the point of getting into a battle over this.
But I'll just have to stay away from your thread 'cause I have a hard time letting bullshit pass by without comment.

I have lived and continue to live a wonderful life of music, having dedicated myself to it since early teenage years. I blindly have followed music, whefver it calls I go. I have not tried to fit in the music industry. You either take me or leave. Either way is cool because I enjoy doing what I do. That is my life. As for the big names go. I mention them not to brag, but to contrast what you call bullshit with some validity. Check my soundclick page for who has been in my band, jammed with me, or I in their band or jammed in their band. As for declining gigs it is due to me not doing the entire business end needed to do 200+ gigs a year. The music business has continually approached me to drop spontobeat and do like everyone else and I would be as famous as the guys that have dug my music over the years. They also said as long as I do spontobeat I would remain unknown and poor. One example was robbie robertson asking me to play on the color of money soundtrack with him and clapton. I said no because it would require me rehearsing prearranged lines for my harp. Am I bitter? Not at all. I continue to let music guide my life and it has allowed me to type this note from a great detached studio building on our property which allows me the time and comfort to improve my recording and playing skills. It also has allowed me to continue to upgrade my recording gear. As I near retirement I forsee someone coming along and taking over the business end so I can perform in good venues again. Until then I continue to become more self contained from the music industry. That is a good thing for me. I am very happy musically and lifestyle wise. I take no offense from your re-occuring posts about what I do and wish you good luck with your life journey. Walter

I did a session this aftertoon without drums on my feet. It allows me to go to places I can't with the drums on my feet. These songs bring back the days I lived with Lousiana Red and he would play that national in the chair next to the couch I slept on. I would drift off to sleep with his wonderful music playing. I tried to capture the sound as if we were sitting in my studio with no electronics-pure acoustic sounds. Walter

I had a very relaxing day today and my harp called me to play it solo, acoustic, with space. It seems today to be deamed a great player one has to be like a thompson machine gun player. The wall of sound dominates music along with exaggarated tones, dynamics. Very unatural sounding to me. I am of the old school of leaving space, letting the groove make the song, and trying to not mess up that natural rhytm of the universe by polluting it with too many notes. Walter

Lol. Boob, give it a rest dude. You don't have the market cornered on tired old geezer music. Don't be so jealous, or at least don't show it. :D
 
Hi Greg_L: Thanks for the support! I take no offense to things like this. I have been hearing them as long as I have been spontaneously making everything up as I go along. I actually take it as a big compliment that someone in cyberspace takes the time to listen to my stuff and form a strong opinion. Walter
