My take is this: I made a mistake or two, realized it owned up, and made the best out of a bad situation. The artist WAS abusive. I'm an artist, too. I've played & sung in bands and solo in hundreds of venues all over the world---mostly guitar and bass, now, but I used to play drums, too. I have interfaced with hundreds and hundreds of sound techs, mixers, guitar techs, and roadies of all stripes; I have never handled a screw-up by someone, a bad mike, no monitor speakers, bad mix, mistaken sound placement, whatever, with that level of guilt, belligerence, and passive aggression. So, I feel for her as an artist, but she failed in a basic human way, and I got the benefit of huge lessons; my voicing complacency vanished, and I'm back on my toes around performance/recording pianos. So: it's all good. > >Im not sure whats more fun, reading these kinds of furries into customer >bashing, or watching Al and Thumpy talk politics, or Bill and Ed dueling >temperaments at 13 e-paces, or hearing about how Steinways are the worst >pianos on earth.
