Hi Craig:
Glad to see you've decided to hang around. To follow up on your original question, I think most of us seek positive replies because the world we dwell in has become so negative. Personally, I visit the "Zone" to learn from the master Arrangers. Guys like Don Mason, Scott Yee, Uncle Dave, Chico Brasil and others. I'm not here to fight or argue. I just want to play my arranger keyboard better so I can use it to help me write that elusive hit song. The friendships we develop here enrich our otherwise drab and mundane lives. To coin a phrase by a person much wiser than me, "It's easier to catch a Bee with Honey than with Salt."
Regards,
