Topic: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

It appears a new title has been bestowed upon me: "Musicator Extraordinaire".

I thank you very much for this honorific, but feel I am undeserving of it for the following reasons:

1. It's Y'all who honor me be allowing me to come to this site and interact with some of the friendliest musicators on the planet.

2. I feel that you, my friends, understand my limitations and are always there to lend me a hand when I need it, and

3. I get to hear some of the most wonderful and original music from all over the world.

So you see, my dear friends, it isn't me who is extraordinary, it is you and this little musical home we have created for each other.

Virtually, a "Hobbit's Shire Home" couldn't be more comfortable.

Thanks so much, but may I respectfully turn down this wonderful, but undeserving gift?

Thanks

Bill

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

You don't want a fun custom title?  Or do you just not like the "extraordinaire" part?

What about just "Musicator?" lol

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

"Musicator" is fine with me, because this is what we all are when you think about it.

The "extraordinaire" part is an appendage which is dearly precious to me, because I know who it came from (I think).

Y'all know how I feel about all of you and there's no need to "supersize" it.

If the person who included that feels that way about me in his heart, that's enough for "The German Boy".

Thanking you VERY much for the fun honorific, I'm just plain.....

Bill, I feel that if you were from the UK you would have a knighthood for your musicating.

Oh, Bill but you earned it!  You make us all laugh, think, care, and we enjoy your company! Titles aren't bestowed often.  wink  I say, keep it.  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Take the title, humbly, if you want, but bask in the sunshine of friendships you have made here Bill. We love you man

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

Here's some honesty for ya, Peter.... when I can go to your site and watch and listen to your music, my friend.

That is pure and that is honest.

And I've already told you what I fan I am of your music and your performances, so the "basking" takes care of itself  every  time I hit that subscribe button.

I don't need a fancy title to declare my self a fan of yours, or anyone else's here, friend

And as for being loved, that comes through every time you or anyone  writes me. I have never felt so loved as I do here.

I thank you all most humbly

Bill

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

OK, I bestowed Bill's title. We do not do this very often, Moderators can change their own and, just once in a while, one of us will feel that a Member should have one for whatever reason.

My reasoning: Bill invented the musicate word and a person who musicates must be a 'musicator'. A person who is 'out of the ordinary', remarkable or extraordinary can be described as being 'extraordinaire'. I admire the way Bill handles and confronts his condition that I, for one, dread ever happening to me.

Bill seems to think that he does not deserve it. I think he does. What do you guys and gals think. Should he keep it or should we remove it?

Accept it with honor.

Roger makes a very good point Bill, no one deserves the title more than you.
Get yourself a T shirt made and wear it with pride.

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

What do I do here, Roger? Wait for the concensus and the vote count? big_smile. If I may say so without appearing to be narcissistic, I know y'all care about me (and especially Dondra. Your recent shows of affection did much to help her to feel better and she is now happily working again 2 days a week).

I just wanted you all to know that such love and caring will not be forgotten, so to me y'all should be bestowed with the title. I know it's just in fun and I don't mean to make a mountain out of a molehill - just wanted you all to know how I felt.

I'm not a prima donna, so why don't I just say, "Thanks very much for the honor and let's get back to 'musicating'." Would that work?

Thanks for the honor!

Re: ACH DU LIEBER!!!!!!

KEEP!  Musicator Extraordinaire has a nice ring to it, henceforth let it so be ordained. Go forth and musicate far and wide, over yonder mountains and across the oceans for all to hear.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".
