Douggie....
Aw, you old softtee !
Just when I think you've gone "Grandpa" on me, you turn into my buddy again!
Truthfully, no one here (and I mean NO one) - has ever pushed me to any limit tht I couldn't handle. This place is very special to me - controversy and all.

I encourage all of you to make an effort to make some personal contact with each of the members that you can .... it really helps close any gaps that the typeface seems to generate.
Take Scott and I - on paper, we seem to rattle each other's cage a bit, but we talk on the phone every so often and I'm always glad to hear from him. I consider him a friend and collegue.
The written word is not enough to translate true emotions ...... so we all need "reminders" to keep us grounded.

I look forward to many more "energetic" discussions that make us think.
Thinking is good.
Friendship is the best.
Thinking about friends while playing music ......
I can't explain just HOW good that can be.
