Well, THIS is just a troll post, and I am not biting on that one.

Nope. Not true. Not true at all. Put up or shut up.
Tell me some of the funds you own. Just maybe 20 or so.

Dude, it was a profiling attempt to see if Greg would site the error, thereby revealing that he is a US based troll working to boost clicks by posting outrageous claims and accusations.
Okay, I made that up. I made a mistake. I was wrong.,
Look, Greg, somebody can just step up and say they were wrong. Just like that. I....was....wrong.
Not too hard.

Well, first of all, I have funds in both Vanguard and Fidelity. Second of all, nah...why would I do that? You will just find fault with one of more of them, and I couldn't care less what you think of the funds I have. Still waiting for you to show me where it was proven I had two Vanguard funds. Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, also, you are NOT Greg as someone else mentioned. It is clear as day that you are Sally.

Dude, whatever. I did the whole thing classically trained pianists do with recitals and everything, the whole nine yards. I played the piano in church regularly as a kid (quite well too).

I have no need to take this discussion further...shame on me if I felt a need to continue to match resumes with an out-of-work dude from Canada who quits everything he's every done and is a drain on the Canadian taxpayers.
It's not 'whatever'
'Whatever' is your level of musicianship.
You have never learned any significant piano piece.
In Canada we have the Royal Conservatory of Music. It has graded levels and they are increasingly more difficult, the higher you get. I went through the entire program and am an associate of the royal conservatory of music.
It's a hell of a lot more than just claiming I 'did the whole thing classically trained pianist do'.
You have no freaking idea what you are talking about.

I don't believe you, Greg. If that was true, you wouldn't be on this message board while living on Canadian welfare. My Man doesn't believe you, either
Flagpole your level of serious training as a pianist is likely very limited.
You;'ve never studied theory. Harmony,. Analysis. I did all of those courses.
I estimate maybe you reached a level of proficiency between grade 6-8 RCM (Royal Conservatory of music)
Grade 6 has pieces like Beethoven's Fur Elise. Grade 8 has Beethoven's Moonlight Sontata, the famous movement,.
Not bad, but hardly enough to call yourself an accomplished classical pianist.
The difference between ARCT level pieces and just saying you 'did the classic al music thing' is astronomical.
To reach the ARCT level you need a program of 6 pieces, all from memory and your entire program will take an hour or more.
ARCT is beyond grade 10 level. In that grade you need to play EVERY SINGLE SCALE, arpeggio, four note form chords, octave scales, etc etc etc etc. That means formula pattern (I doubt you even know what this is) for harmonic minor scales. every single one of them. It's not easy.
You don't have very good technique relative to someone who's done high level training as a classical pianist. It's ok, just stay in your lane because you are silly talking to me about what it takes to be an accomplished pianist.
You played in bands where the level of technicality is FAR less. I've done both.

I don't think this is going to go over too well with Flagpole.

That's great Greg.
Get your teaching certificate and start making lots of money if you are such a brilliant player.

I don't think this is going to go over too well with Flagpole.
Meh. I couldn't care less what he thinks. I've seen videos of him playing. I've got a 7-year old neighbor who plays better.
Besides, this thread was about him barking that he could have run a 2:40 marathon when he's never raced anything above 10 miles. A lot of "could have" with Greg. Not much "did".

When it comes to Marathon, Greg isn't a has-been, he's a never was.
You can't talk the talk unless you walk the walk... er, run the run?

Flagpole you've share one recording of you playing the piano.
I know you'll never share a video. I wouldn't want to see it anyways.
I am a superior musician to you and you know it!

Greg is right. He's a much better pianist than you William. And you know it.

Shame on you for a personal attack on me.
It's a shallow thing to say and mock me for using government assistance for which I qualify for.
Imagine going through most of your adult life struggling in the work force. It has nothing to do with 'quitting', it has to do with surviving.
Shame on you for bragging on this board about your finances.
You obviously are incredibly insecure. I mean.. who does that? blah blah blah I have all these investments.. Does it make you feel better to boast about them? It must. I pity you.
And your laughable claim about your 7 year old neighbour is BS. You haven't the faintest idea of what it takes to learn high level piano pieces because you never learned them. You have no clue what goes into advanced piano studies.

And you do care what I think, you reply to my posts time and time again. Just grow up and quit sounding so pompous about everything.
Sad, sad man you are.

Greg is right here. On a number of things. Also, pretty much NO ONE here brags about his or her financial situation, EXCEPT Flagpole.
