Eko Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Not much to tell. I’m a bass player since 1970. Mostly blues, jazz, rock and progrock. Was only a professional musician for a few short years. Now I’m primarily a hobbyist who plays my own music mostly for my own enjoyment. Very happy to have found this forum.

I don’t see anywhere that I called it anything, let alone said it’s “quaint.” If I’m to be called out for something I said, I’d think it would only be fair if it were for my actual words. Where I live, “village” implies a community of likeminded people with good manners and a strong sense of community. My comment was solely intended to be taken as warm praise. Going forward I’d hope what I offer as friendly compliments will be less misinterpreted as people get to know me better. 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one needs 'calling out' on anything. Spondon's remark, in light jest, was very welcoming, and in no way intended to rile or irk you. Please (please...) take a moment to become more familiar with our ways; we are, indeed, a good-mannered community. Apologies offered to @SpondonBassed for defending his post; a little patience will be required as we ease these new members into the comfortable slippers we all wear. Peace.

SpondonBassed Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sense of humour failure there. Never mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread your post and overreacted. One of the risks you encounter with pure text communications. Please accept my apology. I’ll lighten up and do better going forward.

The misinterpretation was entirely my own. I’ve already offered an apology to SpondonBassed for my mistake. Thanks for pointing out my misinterpretation. I should know better than to post anything when I’m having a bad day. Edited April 8, 2021 by Eko 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
