Thanks, folks. I had absolutely no agenda here other than giving well-deserved recognition. I do wish I could hear more music from more people. But, the people I recognized are the ones I personally enjoy and admire from a musicianship standpoint. It's interesting to me the diversity of styles and differences in equipment used.
Since I'm a musician and not much of an entertainer and haven't been able to see "shows" by members, I only considered the music side of performing.
And, Steve, I think working in diverse fields
and trying to be a pro in all of them keeps you young (at least I hope so).
Good music is good music. And good players deserve recognition. It never occured to me that anyone would consider this post a slight or snub. Be assured, that's not the way I do things.
Happy Holidays, everyone,
Russ
