Any CV on me would, of necessity, HAVE to be short!! Started playing and singing in bar bands when I was about 14. (The drummer's Dad was our manager and always accompanied us to gigs) He had "connections" and got us into the musicians union. Continued playing in bands in high school and also started to study theatre. After high school I played in bands until I got a chance to apprentice with a very well known repertory theatre company. (You'd be amazed how hard up those places are to find eager floor sweepers!!) Did a brief stint in a road company after that until I realized it doesn't pay the rent. Got a day job and played in more local bands at night. One night, when I was in my early 20's, as I was sitting in a park, playing guitar and singing for anyone who cared to stop and listen, I was approached by a twig out on a witnessing night. The rest is kind of a blur. Now my musical endeavors consist of sitting in at local jams when I can. (Which isn't near as often as I would like.) And I'm also messing around with an invention, of sorts, that can help music students learn the rudiments of the tonal aspects of music theory.(It's not nearly as impressive as it might sound.) *Sigh*------------ At least I was always famous in my Mother's eyes.

Da capo----"from the beginning" http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=277 One thing that really struck me was that Wierwille must have been no stranger to the concept of using others' works. You just can't become as skilled as he was at deliberate deception overnight. He had to have been following a pattern of this type of activity for a long, long time. By the time he got to the point in his life where he highjacked Leonard's class, he must have already reached a high level of mastery of his "skills".

Thanks for the "heads-up" Ron. I plan to read that link when I have a bit more time.

Mike The definition of confabulate has not changed. Yes, it can be used in a context that is devoid of malice and its use does not necessarily indicate the presence of some pathological or organic abnormality. Likewise, the definition of paradigm has remained essentially constant over the course of many centuries. What has changed is the increased frequency with which the term has found its way into mainstream conversation. It is my opinion that your thesis relies heavily on confabulation and extrapolation. Extrapolation http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/extrapolation Your attempt to justify plagiarism by associating it with divine revelation is a blatant rationalization. Rationalization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization But for what it's worth, Mike, I like you. It pains me, though, to see you continue to beat yourself up over a "golden pony" that can't be lassoed edited for spelling.

And speaking of selling, there is this------------------- http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=10920

HaHa! No problem. You didn't make me feel bad. In fact----I feel good!!

There used to be a band in Cleveland named Jubal. They took their name from that cat in Genesis(the book, not the band) who is the "father" of all musicians. Gen. 5:21 "And his brother's name was Jubal: He was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ." Hmmmmm. It appears he may have been the first harmonica player as well. Very interesting. Anyway, he probably had it pretty easy 'cause there just wasn't all that much stuff yet to worry about gettin' "right on". Now if I can find a verse that reveals what embouchure he preferred, I might just be privy to "the greatest secret in the harmonica world today". I'll keep looking.

Oh, my. Wierwille is wearing one of those neck scarves I've talked about in the past. Not the same image, of course, just the same kind of scarf. Creepy!

Now I suppose someone will crack a yoke about eggtoplasm.

Well, it seems I have failed at this again as these songs, unlike "name that tune", are supposed to scream at you from just one line. And this one does scream, but not in the way I thought it did. Anyway, here's the next line. If this doesn't do it I'll post the answer. "I just want our love to last."

Wow!! Thanks, a la P. It takes a certain kind of deliberate stylistic restraint to pull that song off successfully.(IMO) She did that and then some. And, the pure tone quality of her voice is wonderful. I hope she continues on with her musical pursuits. The music world is desperately lacking that special something that comes out in her voice.

Mike has stated: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sometimes a private definition of a word like this becomes so popular outside it original private setting that it gets "officially" entered into a dictionary or two. In 1969 I once sat in the office of a man who did this very thing. He actually invented a word for his professional discussions. I think I read once, or maybe he told me personally, that he used a term that had fallen out of use for many decades so he REDEFINED it the way he wanted to help him discuss the complex idea with which this new word was to be associated. That word was "paradigm" and I literally saw it being born. I think the same thing will soon happen to the word "confabulation," given the stature of the scientists that use it this way. It will soon mean an idea that includes normal evil lying, but also will include many more items that do not have that moral baggage. When I say "many" I mean hundreds, literally hundreds." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From dictionary.com 6 results for: paradigm Sponsored Links English Dictionary Looking for English Dictionary?

American Heritage Dictionary - Cite This Source - Share This par·a·digm Audio Help (pār'ə-dīm', -dĭm') Pronunciation Key n. 1. One that serves as a pattern or model. 2. A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb. 3. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline. [Middle English, example, from Late Latin paradīgma, from Greek paradeigma, from paradeiknunai, to compare : para-, alongside; see para-1 + deiknunai, to show; see deik- in Indo-European roots.] Usage Note: Paradigm first appeared in English in the 15th century, meaning "an example or pattern," and it still bears this meaning today: Their company is a paradigm of the small high-tech firms that have recently sprung up in this area. For nearly 400 years paradigm has also been applied to the patterns of inflections that are used to sort the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech of a language into groups that are more easily studied. Since the 1960s, paradigm has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework, as when Nobel Laureate David Baltimore cited the work of two colleagues that "really established a new paradigm for our understanding of the causation of cancer." Thereafter, researchers in many different fields, including sociology and literary criticism, often saw themselves as working in or trying to break out of paradigms. Applications of the term in other contexts show that it can sometimes be used more loosely to mean "the prevailing view of things." The Usage Panel splits down the middle on these nonscientific uses of paradigm. Fifty-two percent disapprove of the sentence The paradigm governing international competition and competitiveness has shifted dramatically in the last three decades.

In other words, you can't do it.

Cut to the chase Mike. Either post the 22 statements and why they are God Breathed or stop insisting we believe you "just because you said so". If you're worried about copyright infringement, I would hope after all this time you would know how to handle that.

Can you show me how you arrived at that conclusion?

Mike, it's a totally moot point. If you use Fromm's words, without citation, as if they were your own, that plagiarism. If I then use your words, using Fromm's words,as if they were my own, without citation, that's plagiarism. If someone else uses my words using your words using Fromm's words, as if they were their own, without citation, that's still plagiarism. It's like painting a wall. It doesn't matter how many coats you put on or what colors they are, the wall is still there beneath it all. Wierwille was a two bit huckster. A clever one, perhaps, but still a huckster. Your "benefit" statement is purely fabricated speculation. I propose you compile a complete list of these so-called God Breathed statements in one concise and easy to view format and then post it here for perusal. Surely if they are God Breathed the whole World ought to have the right to see them.
