Following up on some of these responses, it seems as if not everyone has completely read or understood what I posted.
I can’t for the life of me understand how anyone could glean from my comments that I had any criticism of Brad Behn. That is spelled out very clearly near the beginning of my post. Please don’t turn those words around to suit your own agenda.
Next, I did not imply or suggest that only “experts” comment or review on equipment, clarinetists, music, or anything, for that matter. Again, take the time to actually read what I have written (“ Anybody has license to post their feelings about anything here - that’s a great thing and we should all be grateful...”, etc.).
What I am asking for - hoping for - is a bit of context here. Understanding the source of comments provides us with information to further guide us in our “journey” (how I hate that word!) as clarinetists, as musicians. Certainly, the “experts” have all kinds of various and conflicting information and knowledge that is promulgated here, as do the “non-experts”. It’s up to us to take everything into consideration and make our own informed (such as they are) decision(s) as to how to act. You can believe what you want or disbelieve what you want. When you watch Fox News or MSNBC, you know from where the information is coming and the more-than-implied slant. Here, we really don’t (unless you know the poster). Do we want this site to be one where we share information and where we hope to learn things (new and old) and help our fellow readers/participants/colleagues navigate the world of clarinetistry or one which leaves us like this 😳?
Sure, the internet is akin to the Wild West. I’m simply asking that we act more thoughtfully and benevolently towards our fellow readers/contributors and work to make it less “wild”.
