Do you see people that I Ivory has been used in pianos for many years. It's against the law. I'm against ivory pianos. Sorry. I guess I guess I'm pro elephant. I guess I'm pro elephant. Sue me.

Okay. Okay.
about music. One of us is which one of us?
You know what? I'm going to stop you right there.
Yeah. It's people like you who scare others away from ever even wanting to touch an instrument. They could be genuinely interested, maybe even have potential, and you feel the need to crush them with your presentational elitist jargon, which is a fancy way of saying you just like whining. And this complaining makes you feel what? More important? Because you know more composers' names than I do or that you're supposedly more musically knowledgeable?
You're not passionate. You're obnoxious.
And guess what? That does not make you interesting.
Yeah, and maybe start encouraging future [laughter] musicians, you know? Like praise them for making the attempt, build from their strengths, and don't punish them for trying.
You finally showed me the error What's beautiful?
I feel that my spirit has been renewed.
