So, let me get this straight you are dawgin' the man for being a dedicated steward and mastering his craft? Living out what he was put here to do.... okay. If their are drums in heaven a he gets there
He will probably be one of the ones playing them.... because of his diligence.
No, no, no . . . I think you misunderstood me. I made a comment
back then about him not doing that stuff with a band. Then I was directed to a clip of him playing with some other guys. That's cool. I guess I should have used the word
bored instead of
bores. I saw him play with the band, but I still was not really into his stuff. My statement was more about personal preference.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not confused. I still don't really care for his playing. I don't have to. And when we get to Heaven, if Virgil makes it, I probably would be at another part of the service.

(By the way, we get into Heaven through the Blood of Jesus Christ and by having our names written in the Lamb's Book Of Life, not by dilligence. It's by God's Grace, not by works.) I don't have to like him just because he can do a lot of stuff, or because he can do stuff that I can or cannot do, or because of his technique, or because he can use it in a band. I just don't really care for his playing.
My original post was to remind some of us that we're not ignorant just because we don't like listening to guys that others think are geniuses. Nothing more, nothing less.
And yes, I'm dawgin' anybody who places their "craft" (addiction) over personal hygiene, study of God's Word (which is REALLY what 2 Timothy 2:15 is about), or anything else that a sane person would know should be done. We as men are supposed to be balanced creatures. There is nothing brilliant about someone who only does 1 thing all day. Anybody who decided that they were going to give up everything else in life could become masters. Some of us choose to have balanced lives. And I tell you what I know: no gig, music job, spiritual assignment, or purpose that I have could be taken away from me by Virgil Donati or anyone else. . . if it's truly my assignment. Do I have to never cut, comb, or brush my hair to be great? No. Virgil Donati will never be as influential as my pastor. . . and he's always well-groomed. That doesn't make my pastor any less dedicated than Virgil. . . just cleaner. And it shows that he knows a little better the concept of being well-rounded.
I don't really care for Virgil's playing. I'm not saying he's not dedicated, or committed. I'm not saying he hasn't mastered his "craft." I'm saying I don't care for his playing. And I'm also saying that just because we don't all like the same people's playing doesn't necessarily mean that any of us are any less mature than anyone else.
This is not a personal attack on Sabe. So nobody start getting things twisted. However, Sabe, I am interested to read your response.
