Frank Vignola's Guitar Night, an ongoing concert and livestream series

[zephyrregent]

Is anyone else having difficulties watching tonight's show (10/30)? The page won't load. I watch using a desktop with Windows and Google Chrome on a monitor. All other pages will load and play videos.

I didn’t watch live, but it looks like the recording is up.

Thanks. It's working now. Must have been something to do with it being live earlier. I like this guy Sam Raderman's playing.

Did you try while the live was definitely ongoing? I've already troubles in the past watching too soon after the live ended. From what I've been able to glean, the live is presented in a limited number of streaming formats; the more usual selection of other formats get added over a certain lapse of time after the live ended, undoubtedly as a function of processing availability. If things still work that way you may have seen an effect of that.

I watched it live with no issues. I had never heard of Sam Raderman, but now I want to hear more.

Apparently Ed Cherry is having some physical issues. Frank carried his guitar out, and Pasquale carried it off. It may be his right knee, but I couldn't tell for sure because an audience member's head was in the way the whole time. Brief glances seemed to show something over his trousers at the knee. I hope it's a temporary issue. It certainly didn't seem to affect his playing.

[AllanAllen]

That's sad to hear, I love Ed Cherry's music. I saw one of his live streams during the COVID lockdowns and it was very inspiring.

So great to hear these three masters together! Thankfully Birdland shares the footage with all of us who live far from NYC.

Maybe it’s Mike Stern.

Mike Stern was the guest this week, so it won’t be live-streamed.

't was too stern to stream

More's the pity. Like all too much in today's society, the morons spoil it for the rest of us.

Totally agree with you but maybe Mike should just not go online and read the comments afterwards or here's a better idea,maybe Frank V. should just have the comment section turned off when Mike guests with him.Tons of people on Youtube choose this option for their posts.

Easier to just pull the stream. Don’t feed the trolls at all. They’ll find another way to trash him sharing the videos on Facebook or something.

To me pulling the stream IS feeding the trolls. I.e. it lets their asinine behavior drive the behavior of the good.

"Feeding" is debatable but they certainly got some reward (if they came on here to get confirmation why they don't get to do any Stern trolling anymore)

That aside, I think the only thing that hasn't yet been suggested is that MS could get a suitable anonymous pseudo of his own and start trolling right back. Best way to handle bullies ... laugh with them, then turn the ridicule onto them.

Yea, "feeding" may not be the right term, but I believe you see the point as it relates to "some reward": I.e. the trolls were reward by getting someone they were harassing to change their behavior. This will only encourage the trolls to continue to see if they can do it to someone else.

Either way, it is good to see all the support here for Stern.

what on earth could they troll MS about?

Unless you get hate mail about your performances , you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I guess you're saying that if you get hate mail (really negative comments over the internet) you let it impact you and you will change your behavior.

I find that sad, but if that is the way one is built, so be it.

Also, I get the feeling you believe I'm somehow putting down MS. That is not the case at all, but I find you often assume the worst in people. Of well.

Apparently more than just his choice of effects (and thus his sound).
