Sorry Paw :(--> Since this is the computer section, I thought it proper to list this here.
I did not know if it was something I could do, or what, thus the post.
I really am computer "illiterate", so bear with me. I stumble along as best I can, and hope I don't step on any one's toes in the process, yours included.
Though I pick banjo, and other instruments as well, I would like to see a "Karma" listing as
FiddlePicker
Fiddle has the soul and substance that no other instrument can equal.
It happens to be my favourite as well. :)-->
Randy Howard, Shad Cobb, Kenny Baker, Jean Luc (whoever), Stephan Grapelli, Joshua Bell, and Sam Bush are my heroes. To hear them play is to hear God speaking thru Wires and Wood.
If my "Karma" was FiddlePicker, I could die happy, knowing I was at least mentioned among the greats. :)-->
But whatever -- as arthritic as my fingers are now, it'll never happen. Such is life. I really do believe in Paradise, and by God -- if Paradise is all it is cracked up to be -- I will be able to pick with the best. :)-->
ExCathedra -- thanks. That was kind of you to say what you said. (there is no smiley that adequately says what I wish to say in the way of "thanks"). ;)-->
Steve! -- Yes. That is the same person. I can never remember the last name. -->
Zixar -- Ha! :D--> Fiddlepicker comes from a magazine by the same name. It may or may not be in existance these days, but I remember the first time I saw the name, it sort of grated on me, then it grew on me. I too thought it an inappropriate way to describe fiddling at the time.
I am not a "magi", or a "rabble rouser", or a "resident curmudgeon", or a Shaver of THE, but I do pick fiddle!

Or actually, how can I insert my "own" Karma title there instead??
I see others who have done so, and I would like to do the same.

I'm curious why you needed to make a public post of this instead of emailing me?

It may be a bit long, but I'd nominate "You'll Have To Excuse Me, I Play The Banjo" for dmiller's Karma-tag! :D-->

"Excuse Me, I Play The Banjo"
is shorter and says the same thing. :P-->

"You'll have to excuse me, I play the banjo" is a bit shorter than
"Holy Grail, I don't need no stinkin Holy Grail"

Come on, guys. Be nice. The banjo thing was just an inside joke between dmiller and me. No sense piling on him.

dmiller: Except that you don't really "pick" a fiddle, do you? :D--> If you bow it, it's a fiddle. If you pick it, it's a fretless mandolin. ;)-->

Yes, I am or was a Frank Zappa fan.
Jean Luc Ponti played on a number of his albums.
They say you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you shouldn't pick your friend's nose.
