Stevizard, you're really winning friends with comments like that "ton of gold" swipe. it's always dangerous to make assumptions, especially about someone else's situation. fact is, you have no idea what I've gone through or am going through now -- financially, spiritually or otherwise. and guess what? it is none of your business. if you knew me you would understand how injurious that kind of comment is. I've read similar diatribes from you before, and I've always felt the same way: We gather here to talk about music. And musical instruments. Not issues of class/socio-economic status/etc. There are other places on the net perfect for that discourse. Please, go find them.
