gurdymonkeyA couple of months ago, vsct_caius name dropped me to an A&S minister with a local group about teaching. I offered to teach period Christmas carols for their November meeting. Great! Wonderful! We'll put you on the calendar!
Last night I came home to an email containing a "class description" in it that I did not write. It was written by someone who cannot survive a single event without dragging out his guitar and singing "The Moose Song." He may otherwise be a nice guy, but I tend to avoid him and any performance circle he may be attending.
First of all, how can you write a description of a class you are not yourself teaching? Did you consult the teacher? No. Do you know anything about the subject? You obviously didn't pay a whole lot of attention when I taught it to your group a couple of seasons ago. "Clever lyrics" and "rollicking" sound very slick and have pretty much NOTHING to do with what I was planning to teach. Especially given your demonstrated definition of "clever" and "rollicking." (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.)
No. Sorry, I am not taking this as a compliment. Or a favor.
Pray keep your Madison Avenue, SweetBetsyFromPikeFilking hands off my beautiful, devotional music.
