but maybe i'm wrong in thinking that posting instructional videos is useful to the community. should i just follow your example and post bitchy comments on message boards instead? it would certainly be a lot less effort.
this was a tutorial. if you want to listen to rob’s music, he has several videos on youtube.
one of the videos is of a billy strayhorn song i had never heard before, called a flower is a lovesome thing. great song, with a mysterious beginning (disorienting, as in - - what the heck key are we starting off in, anyway?), and a fascinating bridge. anyway, after listening to rob’s rendition (several times), i searched around and found the lead sheet in one of the real books, and decided to learn it myself. took it in to my jazz teacher the next week and he went stark raving mad – kept saying oh boy, wow, what chords, what great chords. i could hardly tear him away from the piano.
anyway rob, your efforts are appreciated. pianists being human, and human nature being what it is, there is a certain crankiness that sweeps over these forums from time to time. you will see it in other threads, too. personally, considering how much i paid for my subscription to this site, and what i have gotten out of it, i am pretty darn grateful to all the guys and gals who contribute their music and their tutorial materials and their helpful comments.

for the moderator that deleted my post: i studied the terms of service quite closely before posting. i did not attack gordon in my post whatsoever. leaving the "censored" message gives readers the impression that my response was "unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable," which it in no way was. (by the way, you probably mean tortious, not tortuous. check with your attorney.)
i understand that per the tos, you can remove anything you want for any reason you want to remove it. i just want to observe that having your first post in a community summarily deleted with no explanation whatsoever is a particularly unwelcoming introduction to a community from the people who run it.
