NO, DIKI, NO! Don't sacrifice yourself on the funeral pyres of martydom. Then I'd probably have to go over to the Roland Arranger board to see an occasional ripped-out jugular. You are one of the characters (along with Mo, Scott Yee, Ian, Fran, Donny, et al) that John C. finds so enjoyable. John C. himself is one of the "characters" that I enjoy. I love his stories and his many insights into our musical past and although I may not always agree with his assessment of talent, I know that in some cases he chooses being supportive over being completely candid. .....and in SOME cases, that's okay.
