Scott: I regret that I could not listen to your rendition of a great song by my favorite songwriter. There is no doubt in my mind that you "did him proud."

Many of us are concerned about the apparent loss of so many of the "Old Guard" here at the General Arranger Keyboard Forum of Synthzone. For awhile, I was afraid you had joined Chico, Wolf and the others. They are such great guys and you have always been so helpful and considerate. Thank goodness, I actually saw a response from UD today. Mason appears to have a thicker skin than some of us and did not abandon the site.

For Pete's sake guys, life is so short and friends are so hard to come by in our world that has managed to shrink and expand at the same time. If any of you are still lurking out there, always know that we enjoy your company and value your talent and opinions.

Scott, thanks ever so much for posting your site and this great song. Season's greetings and let's hope that 2006 will be better than 2005.

All my best, RICE (The Lone Arranger)
