It would be even better if this was Chet playing....:(

@Audri1488 It IS Chet! What are you talking about?

[rotory2002]

@Audri1488 That IS Chet playing and I heard it first on a record 20 years ago. Get your facts straight !!

[daffydoug]

@rotory2002 Thank-you! It's good to know that someone besides me is familiar with all Chet's records.

I tend to think the problem is that many people think of Chet as a limited to playing country. When they hear him play classical, their mind chokes up and they think "No way!"

The if they listen even more and hear his blues and jazz recordings, their circuits in their brains get blown. They can't believe one man could master all those styles. But they didn't call him

@daffydoug Mr Guitar for nothing! He didn't win all those grammys, instrumentalist of the year and other awards, besides being inducted into the rock and roll AND country halls of fame for plunking little meaningless, beginner Mel Bay book tunes tunes. Chet was the MASTER!

Wow. What a guitarist. -J:

[daffydoug]

@jaygross803 He was the master.

[moproducer]

daffydoug, definitely very good! But one correction: Not classical at all. As with all Bach, VERY Baroque!

My dear lord. How beautiful this is!

@moproducer I think I covered all the pertinent fact as well.

You've been a lovely audience. Thanks for playing.

Abayo!

[moproducer]

@Hikikomori013 I believe I said "goodbye".

[Hikikomori013]

@moproducer Your aptitude for alliteration is admirable. I only got Bs in college.

When someone writes an article on WP, a physicist for example, other physicists see it and argue over references, competing hypotheses and clearer explanations. Errors are weeded out and the final quality over all is comparable to the Britannica. Errors are always challenged.

It's only an encyclopedia, so it's only an introduction to a subject rather than a master's thesis.

[moproducer]

@Hikikomori013 Dear friend; it is clear that you have crystallized your conjecture in this context and your capacious comprehension of the case is commensurable for you to carry forward conspicuously.

I suggest that you continue to use Wikipedia as your cardinal compendium of controlled research and documentation, and court whatever thesis or dissertation you crave in whatever academic circle you choose.

You'll at least get through junior high school. Give it a rest; goodbye.

[Hikikomori013]

@moproducer I don't "just take it for granted that anything on Wikipedia is correct". (and why do you put that in quotes? Who are you quoting without attribution?) or anything else without confirmation from independent sources. But I don't look down on something outside elite sources either.

Wikipedia may be the most peer reviewed document in history. Proven errors are mostly at the level of whether the Yamanote Line has a 2 minute headway or 3 minutes.

@Hikikomori013 You have no idea what I teach. I agree you would shut your brain off; it's probably been that way all your life. You seem to have no idea what true research is; "just take it for granted that anything on Wikipedia is correct".

But it's OK. This is a free country, and you'll eventually learn.

[Hikikomori013]

@moproducer Of course I would. You teach process, so the accuracy of the answer is less important than the method used to reach the answer.

And Wikipedia is not under the control of the vested interests, so it's naturally the wrong process, regardless of the accuracy.

If I were in your class I would probably shut my brain off and parrot back your opinions.

[moproducer]

@Hikikomori013 Hey, if you want to get your "facts" from Wikipedia, go for it; it's a free country. If you show up in one of my classes with such a reference, you'll get very familiar with the letter "F".

[Hikikomori013]

@moproducer The first would be a survey, rather than an audit, the second would be a completely spurious number pulled out of a hat. Neither would be an example from an NPR story on crowd sourcing.

Embarrassingly, it seems that a large number of people correcting information results in fairly correct information. But it gets very little respect from authoritarians who want their own priesthood to control and restrict access to information to a small source of elites.
