Cal, I appriciate your attitude but I think you're beating a dead horse. I personally don't hold a grudge I just don't post as much as I used to. Many times I could have answered questions truthfully and helped someone but I didn't. Hell most of these guys think if you aren't working the Opry, or on the road with the newest bellybutton or hat act or on the majority of the c.d.s coming out of Nashville you aren't a professional musician. I thought that since I made all my income from setting my country and western ass down behind my guitar I was a professional but I guess I was wrong. I have been called everything from rude and arrogant to a biggot. Hell Cal you've known me alot of years and I figured you would tell if I was. I thought I was just honest. I'm not going to leave the forum because of getting flamed I find this place a good form of entertainment. But again thanks for taking up for me. Come over to the Palace and see me sometime.

Mike Sweeney, You actually get paid at the NP?..I thought taht was just you're hoppy and did it out of the goodness of you're heart..!!!!!All joking aside...Mike Sweeny is one of the greatest guys and PICKER! around...(Now I've paid you back for that fantastic FREE gig you and Brian did last Feb)....No ..Mike is right ..Some of the great musicians don't get the credit that they deserve. It's called the Right(or Wrong) place at the right time syndrom (or whatever). I myself have gained a lot of knowledge from this forum..I've noticed that there are those who THINK that they own it..or IT IS Thier's..but out side of Bob and some of his appointed assistants...we are all just participants...This is a forum about Pedal Steel Guitar...playing, maintaining ,bying and selling,players, and whatever else goes along with it. We have been invited in by Mr Bob...and we should participate civilly,and respecfully. We all have our own thoughts and agendas..someof us are not as knowlegable as others, and we all have feelings. We should have mutual respect for each other, and enjoy learning and providing information to ALL the Formites. OOOPs..My soap box just broke...Mike..I'll try to see you next week. Grouchyvet |

Bob, I get paid and if this was 1978 it would be a good amount. I rely on c.d. sales and other things such as sessions and showcases to go along with it to make my living. I remember my daddy told me years ago that when he got out of the army in 1946 he played music with some guys in Roanoke,Va. doing shows at school houses, and playing radio shows etc. and made decent money but he said that the cost of living kept going up but the money didn't. Some things never change. If a person gets in this game we call music to make lots of money more likely than not they will be very,very heartbroken. You have to love it to keep on doing it. Mike |

I've seen this happen to others and I've always wondered how it might occur. Now that it's happened to me, I still don't know !! |

Paul,once you have posted, leave it at that. I have done the same thing too, and felt like an ass, but sometimes the computer systems are VERY SLOW,  but let the process take the time it needs. I have clicked on a different post, then come back to my original post, and it would posted. I think I ticked off ol' Bobbie Slizmore one time because I answered him 4 or 5 times with the same friggin' post.  Anyway, Paul, best of luck, and keep pickin' a winner.  |

..Paul, you didn't do anything wrong,...an "Amen" is posted only once, a "Great Big Amen" is posted twice, otherwise it's just another "Amen"...same with "Hallelujas".... |

JMO: Mike is a great guy, and one of the best players I have heard. Maybe we should stop and think before we post. It seems as some folks on here just want to attack you or your opinion, if you have the nerve to post it. This forum is to share knowledge about the music and the instrument, not flame people who are offering their expertise, at no charge. Some of you guys would have to pay an instructor big bucks for the information and advise offered her for free. JMO Mike: please don't leave for the few that fit the above description and GOOD LUCK with your surgery. |

Mike - In every profession, there are leaders and there are followers; you're a leader. Don't let the followers dictate your attidude or future decisions on lending your expertise to the rest of us. Best, Boomer |

Mike, Hey, hope everything turns out okay with your surgery. I've been on the road making a living, like Sweeney said, sitting my big fat a$$ behind my guitar. I don't know the post you guys are referring to that caused all this. I just hate the fact not to see your posts. Not living in Nashville anymore, I don't get to see or talk to you as much as I used to. Mike, you have all my admiration and respect. I just want you to know that. Besides, I don't want to be the only one on here with a "bad attitude." ------------------ |

Without the help and advice of Mr. Cass, I would still be floundering and undecided. With his help I got the steel I've always dreamed of, and am finally free to play. I wish you well and hope you come back to the forum. Buck |

Hi Mike, We've never met in person, I have read your posts in the forum and always enjoyed them. Its not so bad to disagree now and then, sometimes we get out feelings hurt by someone that does not give a sh,, about others and that is kinda hard to swallow. I wish you would take the time to read the posts of friends saddened to see you say you are giving up on a place that loves you and would like you to hang in here. This Forum is built on professionals like yourself, that can give a helping hand to people like me that are trying to learn and be a part of one great family. My very best wishes to you, wish you the best with your health problems. Come back home soon. Wayne |

Mike, you and I have never met face to face, but from the very first phone call I made to you about having my guitar restored, I felt that I was dealing with a friend. A friend who just happens to be the best PP wrench on the planet! Thank you for the great work you did on my guitar, thank you for the great info I have learned from your posts, but most of all, Thank you for always being "Mike Cass". JE:-)> |

Don't you think it's funny Mike feels he needs to give us a farewell speech. Hey if your not going to post, don't. You don't have to make such a big deal about it. Maybe we could just bump this post to top for Mike every 6 months or so and save him the trouble.  |

I didn't pull it up Mr. Cass, Wayne Morgan did! And on the off chance you read this: I felt like you attacked me and having gone back and reread the posts many times, I still think the same thing. Some cooler heads think that those things should be ignored. Maybe they're right... My opinion (actually fact) is that if you don't want to interact w/someone; JUST DON'T. It's THAT easy! |

Mike, Marty is right this time. If you look at the date and times of Buck Dilly's post above Wayne's, that was posted 12 October 2001 09:19 PM. Wayne Morgan's was posted 05 September 2002 03:40 PM, almost a full year later. |

I think we should all be required to submit our resignations every year. Then only some of us get invited back, namely those who can play nice with others. I look at it this way: b0b is throwing a party. Some people show up, drink too much and cause a disturbance among the other guests at the party. Guess what? They don't have to be invited back; simple as that. No one is "entitled" to an invitation to attend the party. It's a private party. Get it? |
