Is Brightcecilia less bright?

[myaskovsky2002]

I see no much movement here lately...Are people lazy?




Martin, puzzled

[The Sparrow]

I kinda disappeared for about a year, but I've been hanging here lately. Just don't have tons to say.

[some guy]

You're just now noticing the lack of activity?

Brightcecilia has been a ghost town for forever. (I always think of the song "Tumbling tumbleweeds" whenever I visit here!)

I wish I knew the solution, too. Even better, that it would be me who came up with the solution! But alas, I'm just not bright enough. (As it were.)

Well, I keep coming here, anyway. And casting an eye on the threads....

Technically this should be in the feedback section, but then it would be competing with facebook.
Maybe everyone else is listening to music.
Ironic is it not?

[Philidor]

Well, I like it just as it is. I miss Baroque Mongoose, Maureen and, of course, Flo (who's asleep next door when she should be making me coffee and posting on Brightcecilia,* the lazy hussy ). But these things can't be forced. People must come and go as they please. And I thank God this place isn't infested with hormonal teenagers and their obsession with hierarchical lists -- best string quartet, best symphony, best opera. Actually, that's not true. If hormonal teenagers want to infest the place, and make OCD lists, they're welcome. We'd simply get more mods to regulate their hormones.

Does anyone see Maureen on Facebook? Or has her neighbour finally secured their WiFi?


* I'm still trying to entice her back. But she's doing, effectively, two jobs and something had to go.

My sporadic replies are due to my being busy. I pop into Bright Cecilia (and the 'other' classical music forum!) once in a while during my working day. As I work mostly alone in my office at home, it helps keep me sane (it can be a very solitary existence otherwise!). Evenings and weekends I tend to be getting on with 'real' life.

Keep them coming, Martin!

Thanks to all who conceived of this forum. I appreciate, too, Philidor's openness to those who come AND to those who go; doesn't it reflect our individual patterns of engagement with music? Sparrow's stance (listening in, but not having much to say) seems fine to me---I assume that my posts are being read (certainly by PeriodinstrumentfaN, Sparrow, and Philidor) but beyond that, there's the hope that our music-speak will draw those who can benefit from our efforts into the forum---and they may even join in---how delightful!

Speaking of "individual patterns of engagement" with music, I think that's what's going on here and why it seems so quiet. At present, the only people who seem to want to talk about the same thing are bviolon and periodinstrumentfan; stlukesguild and balthazar; and occasionally martin and myaskovsky. The rest of us are talking to ourselves.

But I like it here. Good atmosphere. I could always go over to the pianoworld forums and troll around, but ... mehhh... too lazy.

bviolon8897,

I'm happy that you are here on BC posting instead of facebook.... i'm connected to other mostly European baroque violinists on facebook but we never really talk about baroque music, nor of violin technique. ^_^
They use it more to promote things....

I've stopped visiting and posting in the other music forum a long long time ago. I think since the time i found BC.
Nobody there replied to any of my posts which lead me to the conclusion that there isn't one interested in Early Music (not the usual Bach and Handel).

Hmmm i remember being absent for a few months here.... i think those were the months i got addicted to facebook games like CityVille .... o_O

I am glad to see all of you as two years ago and write now as lirica - aquamarine. BC is kind to foreigners as earlier, i hope. But professional musicians cause a shyness at dilettantes.
Here people understand smart things
