really? I like the fact that Crispin Glover doesn't have a t.v and hasn't owned one since he was 18 years old. I found an interview on him. that is very interesting. I haven't owned a Television for years.
He seems to not have an interest in popular culture. He is a rebel. I like that. too bad there aren't more men to chose from who don't own t.v's and have things in common with me.
Crispin as some things in common with me. Not everything though.
There are other people out there like him. I would like to find them.

Wow, Bela is HOTTTTTTTTTT.
I really find Bela attractive.
Marissa, are you sure you don't want him at all? Because I'm into him.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 14 August 2005 20:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Bela looks like Bill Berry's fratboy cousin.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:00 (eighteen years ago) link

wow, this must be Bela saying this.
Are you are woman or a man?
or are you bela?
Bela loves himself like this.

I have seen some photos of Bela that look very interesting.
I have seen him in person. He is not bad looking. I think he is pretty good looking. But he is a real man inside of himself.
He is not a man. Don't you understand. He is really weak inside.
This man Bela, has little confidence in himself. He can barely talk on stage. He is sooo quiet...
He is soooo inward.
He has some confidence with the same old crowd of low libido jammers.
But Bela has a closed world.
Yes, Bela is a pretty attractive guy.
but looks don't last.
Bela has nice eyes.
But what is inside of Bela. He has no convinctions about anything.
Relationships have to be more then just good looks.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Why do I get the feeling that someday Marissa will, in fact, try to find out what is inside of Bela?

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:34 (eighteen years ago) link

He has a kidneys, liver, heart, brain, blood, veins.
I already know.
Nothing that ususual.
there was one photo I really liked, but I can't find it now. he was behind his bango with his lips on the bango..you couldn't see his chin.
this was a great photo. He looked warm in this photo.
I like warmth.
I can't find out what is inside of Bela's heart and soul, because he is inward.
I don't know how to.
I have given up.
I am a more outward person. On stage I don't feel introverted.
I am not afraid of large crowds or small.

Not anymore.
I was when I was a teenager. I don't have alot of stage fright.
I don't have trouble speaking in front of alot of people.
Bela has trouble with audiences. He is very introverted.
not saying I never get nervous, I do when on stage totally alone, more then with a backup. I have had real stage fright getting up on stage alone in front of large crowds.
It depends ...sometimes not.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:43 (eighteen years ago) link

It is like most people to ignore my photos and call Bela HOT.
He is not better looking then I am.
so why call him hot?
He is five nine. I am five eight and a half.
the reason he doesn't phone me is the same you are ignoring what I look like.
no confidence. Bela is not really that gorgeous.
I dated better looking men. His name was Daniel.
At least Dan had the nerve to go out with me.
that was because dan is the extreme of good looking.
I am too good looking for Bela.
Let bela find someone else.
I am too good looking for most men.
I just don't give a shit about insecure men.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Marissa I really like your song 'Emu'

I was wondering if you sang the melody line in the same key as the piano part, or if you recorded it while the piano part was playing in a different key and then re-recorded the piano part?

because it is very, very difficult to sing and stay on pitch when singing to music that's in a different key so I am just curious

either way I like the song very much and you should forget about Bela as soon as possible

(Jon L), Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:55 (eighteen years ago) link


I don't have any photos of daniel to upload on cd or otherwise.
not on floppys..but this man Micheal Praed, looks very similar to my ex-boyfriend Daniel.
Dan was more masculine looking but very similar to this photo. This is why I never contacted Bela Fleck after he was staring at me.
I was in love with Daniel. and Dan is six two and looks like this...and is one of the most gorgeous I have seen or dated..not to mention interesting and smart.
but troubled.
sigh.
Daniel contacted ...called me and asked me out.
wasn't snobby.
Daniel is a gorgeous man...and told me that I was gorgeous.
I was love he said.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Well done Marissa!

Please come play a show in NYC. I got all excited when I heard about the Bitter End gig. Too bad it's not happening.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 21:58 (eighteen years ago) link

I was losing technique at the time I was recorded that demo of Emu...
I was singing out in clubs with my guitar..and my voice is large and needs to be controlled..it falls back in the throat if it isn't placed in the head properly.
My voice teacher in philly told me to stop singing with my guitar and piano at the same time..since then my technique has returned and I can sing in pitch in this key...
It has nothing to do with the key...with proper technique a person should be able to sing well in every key. this song was record five years ago...I had a brief problem with technique. I had to go back for some lessons to help.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, I played at the bitter end.
but I don't have the money to live in NYC and own a grand piano and fifty thousand studio.
and I don't have the money to travel.
I have to live in smaller city in upstate new york.
Near the finger lakes.
they have a great music school there...eastman.
I can't afford to play in new york anymore. I am moving from boston..
I have been told by my voice teacher to not sing with my instruments to maintain my technique. everyone is different. but I have a larger voice and it takes more control and more work to sing well ..the more voice you have.
I took her advice.
Now my pitch problems are not there.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:04 (eighteen years ago) link

So if we want to see you play live - and support you financially - where should we go?

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I would love to hear the new version of 'emu'

but the current versions of 'emu' and 'it's sun' are my favorites because the keyboard parts set up expectations for the melody to do certain things, and then you do something completely different, and I love the tension, it's very unusual and different. I like those songs a lot so I hope you don't think of those two songs as 'problems', I could do with a whole record of those...

good luck with the move and if you ever want to set up a gig in san francisco, please drop me an e-mail!

In ninth grade, a retarded kid with autism was placed in our typing class. He'd whoop and scream and do this rowing gesture with his arms. We all just thought it was hilarious even though the teacher yelled at us because hey, we were fourteen.

As the semester wore on, we laughed less and less even though the kid's antics became more prevelant as the lessons got harder. And finally, not to sound like an ABC Afternoon Special, I finally understood why laughing at retarded people is in poor taste.

Anyway. The more I read this thread, the more I get that feeling again.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:11 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not as simple as that, Pleasant. I think we're fulfilling a certain need here, in a weird way.

At any rate, to use your own logic, it would be impolite to discuss this in Marissa's presence, no?

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Not to mention that I would totally, unironically, love to see Miss MM live.

joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I am not a spoiled brat. I have no funds to travel to gig.
sorry.
I would love to thankyou for the offer.
I am redoing Emu..and I have others that I liked. Napolean's complex, which changes keys...
and Page Blue, as some of my favorite songs that I have done. Page Blue is with open tuning guitar.
Bluesy but not typical blues.
I am not sure if this is my favorite..but I just wrote another tune..I am not sure what to call it.
very different then the rest of my pieces.
and I wrote a latin song.
and a song in French.
I am working on it.
but side tracked with thoughts of packing.
Page blue, I like the guitar part. I plan on really fixing up Emu, but the end of Emu was improvized.
I am not sure I completely match it.
The end of It's Sun was complete improv..and I basically improvized the bridge of that song...of the top of head with no preparation.

marissa -marchant, Sunday, 14 August 2005 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

PP makes a good point. I am mocking bela.
He is attractive. But I shouldn't take it personally that he doesn't support outside artists who don't fit in the bluegrass mold. I should not mock him. He can't see it.
and he can't help it.
He is what he is.
but he isn't that nice a man.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 00:32 (eighteen years ago) link

the reason I am making the statement about men not liking very good looking women, is because it is true.
Most men are whimps.
They want to put themselves on pedistals even though they are not good looking enough for me, and all they do is put me down in their own minds..saying that I am inferior to them. I think that is what Bela thinks..that he is HOT...and I am not ....
but in reality, I am better looking then Bela and I think in many he is very intimidated my talent.
Isn't that sad.
Isn't it sad that so many immature and insecure men have to put good looking women down to make themselves feel good and start talking about man who is not good looking enough for me as though he is hot and I am not.
? isn't that lame?
the reason I think I am too good looking for Bela is that he is intimidated by me and can't communicate with me. But Dan wasn't afraid...
Poor Dan...I would never make fun of him..he was dyslexic.
Daniel had unsual beauty in many ways.
Bela is a rough person, an ordnary guy, not retarded.
Bela is attractive...not HOT.
and he deserves this since he feels that he is too good to speak to women who are too good looking for him.

Marissa, I will bust that ass.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 15 August 2005 01:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Marissa, I can take anything but not knowing.
Could you give me a sign?

I've got a new life and you would hardly recognize me. No one’s gonna drag you up; I only want you to get into the light where you belong. But where do you belong? Under the pale moon?

For so many posts I’ve wondered who you are, how can a person like you bring me joy? I see a lot of stars but enough's enough.

Life is demanding.

]]daniel again?

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 01:51 (eighteen years ago) link

what is wrong with you?
it is you again isn't Daniel? on Live journal seeking attention.?
I am not into stars, but some of these people are talented.
No nessessarily more talented then the rest of the world.
I have wondered? could you think about bringing someone else joy?
you are analyzing my posts by wondering if I could bring you joy?
But do you ever consider what you can bring to someone?

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 01:54 (eighteen years ago) link

here we go again. so dan, have you let yourself go?
why would I hardly recognize you? Gained 500 lbs?
So you aged a bit.
balding?
why would I hardly recognize you?
your whole new life, it is demanding?
o.k. you will bust that ass? what are you talking about dan?

Is this a Bela Fleck fanfiction site? Not quite as erotic as I'd hoped, but...

New Guy, Monday, 15 August 2005 03:19 (eighteen years ago) link

1) My name's not Daniel. But if you want to call me Daniel, I'm cool with that.
2) "bust that ass"
3) The quote you're referencing that I made earlier is a direct lift from the lyrics to Ace of Base's 1992 megahit, 'The Sign'. The other post, incidentally, is taken from 'I Will Always Love You' by Dolly Parton.
4) I really quite like you Marissa, but a sense of humour and a grain of salt are useful.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 August 2005 09:16 (eighteen years ago) link

HI , not every MM post is me. Magic marissa is not me either. Forksclovetofu has the writing style and confusion of Daniel.
Albatross was Bela. Who Cares was Bela Fleck.
Bela likes to speak in that pompous writing style to convince himself that he is the "man."
I was impressed with words like dialectic.
lol.
This was supposed to compete with Crispin's literally pursuits.
..and books.
Good going bela, you are always in competition with people.
You can't even say something kind about me or Crispin. You are always on your pedistal, and insulting people. You are so cold.
You are talented man. I enjoyed prelude and Bicyclops.
But you are full of yourself Bela. Musicians are supposed to be supporting one another. Bela says in resent interviews how talented everyone is in the music industry and how fortunate he is to be around such incredible musicians.
Bela implies that all his musicians friends are as talented as I am.
..or more talented and that is why he doesn't encourage me.
Bela is so cold, that because Cripsin is also not in Bela's bluegrass group of Nashvillians...that he is also being insulted .
It is said that Bela is soooo conceited that he can't find anything good to say about Crispin glover either.
Of course someone will deny this is Bela and say that he has never been on here and lie for him, as he throws them some cold cash...

the answer is, insecure men like bela who can't support other musicians and artists are not people who should be given so much money.
Andreas Vollenweider does make an attempt to play other instruments.
Even if one is a virtuoso at one instrument, they should attempt to play others. Mozart plays several instruments. Most very talented musicians play more then one.
...it is rare for Bela to pick up a guitar. and he is not into open tuning.
Isn't that uncreative.
I would go for Nicolas Q. before I would go for Bela any day of the year. Nicolas has soul, passion and a great sounding voice, sexy voice.

mark grout is more interested in how people are, then their minds or music.
looks don't last forever. but I am a serious musician.
my music is eternal.
by body is not.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I meant to say, mark is very shallow, and aging men are ususally more concerned with age and asking women what their ages are.
anyway...I was just looking for moral support from musicians like bela but you can't teach an old dog like Bela new tricks.
He is stuck in his ways. He doesn't have a youthful attitude. they said that they ran out of gas in their last record.
some men have youthful attitudes as they get older. Bela appears like an old dog ready for the pasture.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 11:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Bela is way too old for me. He acts and thinks like an old man.
But even at 33 ..bela was acting like an old man on stage. He appeared lifeless and dazed.
Bela has an old man's attitude about life.

You can't teach an old man new tricks. it is all in the mind.

And as insecure men age they start looking for any woman who is much younger then themselves. Crispin is going through mid life crisis with any bimbo slut hanging on his arm and porno stars. He thinks this makes him appear younger. But it doesn't. It makes him appear impotent and old.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 11:52 (eighteen years ago) link

too young for you mark.
I can tell you much too old for me. and bela could be my dad.

Marissa, actually you are right. I'm 44 (married, 2 great kids) so there you go. I'm not that shallow, just didn't know.

eedd, Monday, 15 August 2005 13:35 (eighteen years ago) link

well my most recent photo was one that was very large ...with one earring on.
that was taken very recently. I am young, so that is all the matters.
I will be young till I think I am ready to die.
I am always driven, interested in sex..and always lively.
The only thing that matters is attitude. I have met very young men who are old in their thinking.
There are men in the 20's who act like very old men.
bela is also an old man.
He acts like one.
He is sluggish on stage, nonplus.
Crispin seems more lively, but in his real life, he is probably in a rocking chair, slumped over writing more books about catching rats.
Bela is not looking for anyone else, dan isn't... crispin isn't..and there is not a man out there who isn't totally happy with their lover and life.
every man I meet isn't looking for a way out.
Every man that I meet is so satisfied with little in life.
Bela Fleck was an old man when he was barely in his thirties.
He looks pretty young, but his attitude in life is one of an old stoggy man.
He has a personality of a man who is sits in a rocking chair all day watching soap operas.
He talks endlessly about bluegrass, as though he can't go beyond this
...Bluegrass is for the aging, low libido crowd.
remember age, is mostly a state of mind. Dan, he acted like old man when I dated him.
He is not an old man now..but he acts like an old beat up man with no libido.
dan is an old man.
I am a young woman, and we had to break up because dan wanted to sit in his rocking chair and read, and I wanted his body all the time.
Dan 's libido was one of a 160 year old.
yes folks ..this is the low libido crowd.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 15:02 (eighteen years ago) link

there is not a man out there who isn't totally happy with their lover and life.

Well, I am, certainly.

mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 August 2005 15:07 (eighteen years ago) link

well I am certainly not happy with the low libido crowd. the english can be a bit tight lipped. no offense. but the english men that I meet are on the tight lipped side.
Like I said, my best date was a french canadian, with that french latin blood. sensuous.
He was a guitarist.
He is on a folk label now.
He dabbled in some bluegrass.
but he was french.
opened. Like nico, more opened, more passionate, more ready to get some loving going on.
My experience with frenchmen and some italians, yes, they are more passionate...Bela is a bit tightlipped.

marissa -marchant, Monday, 15 August 2005 15:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Age is certainly a state of mind, anyway, Marissa. My kids will keep me out of any rocking chair for the next 15 years at the very least.
