Re: The Uke, Compliance and Qi

can anyone hear the essence of the real voices that aretrying to communicate?

Two cultures. Both right within their culture. Joe is speaking from a pure heart. Many organic cultures do thisnaturally. We in the modern European West do not do it soeasily.

Just like reverend Jooshua wright, joe will speak truth to power if his "being real" gets dissed.

Now we all heard soundbites on the news. But who listened to Rev. Wright's sermon before the NAACP. From a strategic perspective,i saw a true hermeneutical attempt at building cross cultural bridges. From a technical side you might have learned that African music only has 5 notes where European music has 7. Both makebeautifulmusic.
If we wish others to honor our Passive-aggressive, (overly laced
with political correctness and theory) style we use as Caucasians/Westerners
Then we should also take a step back and listen to the organic heart as well.
